Actuator entry window_Type

Type

Enter the actuator type here.

Unlike the valve which did not have manufacturer-specific dependencies between individual valve attributes under 'user-defined' database, the actuator does have them for the attributes Type, Diaphragm area and spring range. This is necessary as there are no general standards and data ranges for actuator sizing, for example the Kvs value range, and the actuator sizing is thus related to a great extent to SAMSON actuators. It is still possible, however, to freely enter data for each input at any time.

During calculation of the actuator, the appropriate SAMSON type is selected by the program and updated for the pipe data according to the Program override of user-entered values option setting.
