The trims are Stellite®-faced or hardened in vacuum ovens to make them suitable
for use with erosive and abrasive media.

■ Highly resistive to erosion

■ Used when cavitation, flashing and two-phase flows occur

Bonnet
The bonnet seals off the valve at the top and accommodates the packing and plug
stem guiding. The valve bonnet is a pressure-bearing component that is exposed
to the process medium. Therefore, its material is subject to the same design 

STANDARD BONNET BELLOWS SEAL INSULATING SECTION

The bonnet, which seals off the valve at the top, is

used to mount the actuator or yoke. The
standardized NAMUR rib located on the yoke
allows easy, standardized attachment of a
positioner or other valve accessories.

Pneumatic actuators
SAMSON valves are preferably fitted with Type 3271 and Type 3277 Pneumatic
Actuators, which have been proven in use over decades. Standardized interfaces
(IEC 60534-6-1 and VDI/VDE 3847) as well as the direct attachment developed
by SAMSON for Type 3277 Actuators allows actuators to be fitted with
accessories, such as positioners, limit switches and solenoid valves. Through the

modular design, the actuator and valve can be easily upgraded to achieve
automated valves with short transit times suitable for use in safety-instrumented
systems.

Automation
In the age of the Internet of Things, it is a matter of course that control valves are
integrated into process control systems. Data on the control valve itself and
diagnostic data are collected, saved, analyzed and transmitted to the process
control system by digital field devices. Similarly, data can be forwarded from the
process control system to the field devices. The field devices used in control valve
engineering are usually positioners – in some cases also limit switches –, which
are mounted on the control valve.

Positioners compare the set point issued by automation equipment (controller,

control station, process control system) to the valve's position and supply the
actuator with a corresponding output signal pressure (pst). SAMSON's digital
positioners are also able to collect, analyze and transmit operating data.
