Available in the UK through liquids handling specialist Pump Engineering, the RC 860 valve can be supplied with a wide choice of accessories including digital and analogue positioners

A compact, lightweight and actuated control valve which combines the benefits of accurate modulating control of medium to low flow rates with optimum automated process control, is the latest addition to the Badger Meter range of valves.

Available in the UK through liquids handling specialist Pump Engineering, the RC 860 valve can be supplied with a wide choice of accessories including digital and analogue positioners.

Digital versions offered include TZID-C, SIPART PS2 and 1067, while analogue positioners include SRI 986, TZIM and 3767.

This allows for maximum control flexibility and communication in process systems controlled by Hart protocol and Profibus.

The valve has a 1/2" body and raised face flanges (DIN, ASA, ISO) so it is designed to fit directly into pipelines of the same flange size and rating.

The compact design of the valve makes it especially attractive when flanged up to 3/4", 1" or 11/2" line sizes for controlling flow rates within the 1/2" valve size.

The important features and options of these intelligent positioners include, self- diagnostics, IP65 protection, intrinsically safe in hazard area zone 1 or zone 2, explosion protection to Eex ia IIC T4, position feedback 4 to 20 mA and two limit switches.

To meet specific application requirements, accessories such as a gauge attachment for air supply and outputs and a booster relay, are also available Cont...
