Mark 15 Series
Top Mounted Pneumatic Valve Positioners
The Mark 15 positioner uses the full force of its air
supply to drive and maintain a pneumatic actuator to
position a valve to what is required by control
instrument, regardless of the presence of forces that
change valve position.
This line of compact instruments incorporates a
single-axis, force-balance principle of operation to
ensure accurate and stable control valve position-
ing. In all cases, including bottom-loading applica-
tions, a MK15 is mounted directly on the topworks of
the valve, with no external levers or other exposed
mechanisms.
Each positioner receives a signal from a control
instrument, and using an air supply as high as 45
psig (3,4 bar), the positioner strokes the valve
actuator to the required position.
Like all valve positioners, the MK15 has feedback
circuits designed to measure the position of the
actuator’s piston or diaphragm. The positioner then
supplies or exhausts air to bring the actuator within
the required range for its corresponding control
instrument.
The position of the valve actuator is sensed by the
amount of compressive force exerted by a spring on
the valve positioner’s diaphragm assembly. By se-
lecting the appropriate spring from the wide
selection available almost any combination of valve
stroke (from 1/4” to 4”; 6,4mm to 102mm) and instru-
ment spans of 6,12, and 24 psi (0,4, 0,8 and 1,7 bar)
can be obtained.
