Selection Guide

Selection Criteria

  1. Determine the required valve model and stem packing type (PTFE or graphite).
  2. Identify the maximum operating pressure (including transient pressure) in the application scenario.
  3. According to valve size (DN15-DN100), shut-off class (Class IV/VI) and application requirements, refer to the differential pressure selection table in the documentation to select the appropriate actuator.
  4. For conditions beyond those listed in the table, please contact Spirax Sarco technical support.
