Handle Erosive Applications with the
Fisher V500 Rotary Eccentric Plug Control Valve
YOUR CHALLENGES
Availability is one of the key concerns in plants today. Consider this: how long do your
installed rotary control valves survive in your most erosive processes? Repairing or
replacing your valves repeatedly results in downtime and reduced productivity. With
the Fisher V500 rotary eccentric plug control valve and its ability to battle erosion and
control hard-to-handle fluids, you can reduce maintenance costs and increase plant
availability.
Rotary severe service is defined as rotary control valve applications in which service or
process conditions lead to constant wearing of the valve. These conditions are caused
by dirty, erosive, coking, corrosive, viscous, and other hard-to-handle fluids. They can
cause lack of process control, frequent maintenance, unacceptable operating life, and
poor shutoff.
FISHER V500 CAPABILITIES
The Fisher V500 rotary eccentric plug valve is
designed for process applications, built tough
for control, and intended for performance-
demanding situations. It is known for its ability
to fight off the effects of hard-to-handle fluids
with its rugged components and application
versatility. The V500 valve has been proven in
tough applications across multiple industries
since being introduced in 1984.
Fisher V500 valve offers:
n Versatility - A broad range of trim options, from 316 stainless steel to ceramic,
provide the performance needed to meet the most severe, erosive applications.
With these trim options, you can configure the V500 valve to meet your process
requirements.
n Total Cost of Ownership - Quality, rugged Fisher construction enables longer
lasting performance from your V500 valve. It can help you reduce maintenance
costs and increase plant availability.
n Valve Assembly Performance - The Fisher V500 valve assembly, including a Fisher
pneumatic actuator and FIELDVUE
™
DVC6200 digital valve controller, provides
excellent installed performance. It helps control closer to setpoint, extends
operating life, and battles erosion effectively in your most critical processes.

Rotary Eccentric Plug Valve:
A rotary control valve with a
plug-shaped, ow-restricting
member that follows an eccentric
path as it rotates. The plug has
no contact with its seat until it
turns within a few degrees of
the shutoff position. As the plug
contacts or “cams” into the seat,
the seating surfaces dynamically
align to achieve shutoff.
