This document specifies basic requirements for pneumatic part-turn valve actuators, both double actingf;
and single acting, used for on-off and modulating control duties,
:
It includes guidelines, recommendations and methods for enclosure and corrosion protection, controlE
and testing. t
H
o
It does not apply to pneumatic actuators which are integral parts of control valves and to oneumaticur
actuators designed for permanent immersion in fresh or sea water,
'(, o
uJ

Other requirements, or conditions of use, different from those indicated in this document, are expectedfr
to be subject to negotiations, befween the purchaser and the manufacturer/supplier, prior to order,

Table 2 is based on EN ISO 12944-2. The actuator corrosion protection may also be achieved by
systems/methods which deviate from those specilied in EN ISO 12944-5.
Table 2 may be used to speciff the corrosion category in order to help the actuator manufacturers to
specify the surface treatment for corrosion protection. Test assessment and test procedures are the
responsibility of the manufacturer.
7.7 Pressure connections
7.7.1 General

Unless otherwise specif,ied the actuators shall have at least one pressure connection for each chamber of
cylinder, to supply or exhaust the pressure, For single acting versions one of the two connections is
considered the exhaust of the non-active chamber oIcylinder.
Connections shall be clearly identified with numbers (2 and 4), in accordance with IS0 5599-2, or using
a manufacturer/supplier identification method clearly described in the installation instructions.
When pressurized, direction olmovementshall be in accordance with Table 3, unless otherwise specified.

Actuator selection guidelines 9

F
o
8.1 General H
H
Actuated valve malfunctions are often due to the under sizing of actuators; the initial material cost saving8
is usually insignificant, compared with the costly production losses and/or danger presented to$

Conversely, it is even more important, that excessive

may result in selectgd actuators being capable of twis
a feedback signal that does not correspond to the va
valve applications e.g, ESD (Emergency Shut Down)
of actuator is selected together with any associated ancillary equipment.
-3
To obtain all the information it may be necessary to question the end user, the contractor/designer, thel
valve manufacturer, the actuator manufacturer and ancillary equipment manufacturers. The aim of these{
guidelines is to provide a clear understanding of the torque requirements and what parameters affect theE
correct actuator selection; relevant questions need to be answered regarding the valve operating service,l
the actuator working parameters/environment, ancillary equipment and local regulations. o
