3. OPERATION
3.1 Check Valve Travel - The actuator spring has been select-
ed to meet the requirements of the application and has been
adjusted at the factory to the pressure range stamped on the
data plate. The spring has a constant rate of compression, and
adjustments shift the pressure span up or down to make stem
travel coincide with this pressure range. When in service, the
actuator should yield the required travel when pressure range
stamped on data plate is applied. This diaphragm pressure range
is generally 3 to 15 psi (20 to 100 kPa), but other ranges may be
used.
When the actuator is completely installed and connected to the
control device, it should be checked with normal working line
pressure conditions for correct travel. Apply the pressure range
listed on the data plate to the actuator. Note that travel indicator
should have moved the distance marked on indicator plate,
Figure 5.
The pressure drop across the valve body ports has a direct effect
on the actual operating pressure range. In some instances, the
valve operating range may be different from the indicated range.
This is because the pressure conditions in the valve body are dif-
ferent from those originally specified and for which the control
valve has been set at the factory. If this difference is small, a
spring adjustment is all that is required to obtain correct operat-
ing range, refer to Adjusting Actuator Range.
