I/P TRANSDUCERS
The “standard” 3-15 psi signal was originally designed as a transmission
signal, not a valve actuation signal. The Fluid Controls Institute (in
Standard 87-2) has recommended that a 1–17 psi air signal range be used
when directly actuating a control valve without a positioner. Powers
concurs with this recommendation, and therefore, offers a 1–17 psi I/P
transducer and a 0–30 psi I/P transducer and the Accritem pneumatic
controller for maximum close-off. 3-15 psi I/P transducers should be used
in conjunction with positioners.
POSITIONERS
Positioners are used for one or more of the following reasons:
1) To split range valves.
2) To eliminate unwanted valve movement caused by line pressure
variations
3) To minimize the effects of “stick-slip
4) To speed response time and/or
5) To increase close-off rating when I/Ps are used.
