THE CONTROL VALVE YOU CHOOSE MATTERS
WHEN YOU HAVE TO ACHIEVE MORE EFFICIENT,
PRODUCTIVE, AND SAFER PLANT OPERATION.
The process industry is changing. Facilities are bigger and demand larger, highly engineered control valves for
more severe applications.
At Emerson, we have a staff of talented engineers who are passionate about developing Fisher
®
control valves
for the ever-changing process control industry. Our engineers were the:
n
First to develop the proven digital plant architecture, PlantWeb
™
.
n
First flow test lab in the process control industry.
n
First to develop authoritative capacity and sizing data charts.
n
First to use rotary valves as process control valves.
n
First to commercialize quick-change, cage-style trim.
n
First to develop aerodynamic noise prediction techniques and procedures.
n
First to receive N-stamp certification and to manufacture automatic control
valves for nuclear power plants.
n
First to develop digital valve controllers and performance diagnostics for
improved control and predictive maintenance.
n
First to develop special control valve sizing procedures for non-ideal fluids,
non-Newtonian fluids, and out-gassing fluids.
n
First to provide a method for customers and consulting engineers to accurately
predict plant noise generated by control valves.
n
First to provide dedicated material expertise in the industry.
We’re proud of our reputation for taking up challenges so that It’s Never Been Done Before simply becomes
Consider it Solved.
When you buy Fisher control valves, you get the applications experience that comes from over 130 years
of work in the industry. Plus you get the benefit from millions of dollars of research invested in solving the
issues important to you.
Fisher product specifications are, in many cases, more stringent than the industry accepted standards set
by regulatory agencies. Our attention to and evaluation of product quality is necessary to bring you Fisher
technologies of the highest reliability and performance.
Using Fisher technology is the best way to achieve efficient, productive, and safer plant operation and this can
be demonstrated by a visit to the Emerson Innovation Center for Fisher Technology.
