Frequently Asked Questions

A pneumatic actuated valve uses compressed air to control the opening and closing of a valve, typically a ball or butterfly valve, allowing for automated flow control in pipelines.

The two main types are spring return (single acting) and double acting. Spring return uses air in one direction and a spring to return, while double acting uses air for both opening and closing.

They are widely used in water treatment, chemical processing, food & beverage, oil & gas, HVAC systems, and industrial automation.

They offer fast operation, low maintenance, high reliability, and safe performance in explosive or hazardous environments where electric actuation may not be suitable.

Control is usually achieved via a solenoid valve that directs compressed air into the actuator. Additional accessories like positioners or limit switches may be added for advanced control.

Yes, with the correct body material and seat design, pneumatic actuated valves can handle moderate to high-pressure applications effectively.

Most commonly ball valves and butterfly valves, but globe, plug, and diaphragm valves can also be automated with pneumatic actuators.

Yes, provided the valve body and actuator are made from or coated with corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or anodised aluminium.

Spring return is ideal when fail-safe positioning is needed (e.g., fail open or fail closed), while double acting is preferred for applications needing full air control in both directions.

When properly maintained, pneumatic actuated valves can last many years, especially when used with clean air and within recommended operating conditions.

Yes, when paired with a positioner, pneumatic actuators can be used for modulating control, not just on/off service.

They are generally low maintenance, but periodic checks for air leaks, lubrication, and wear on seals or seats are recommended for optimal performance.
