Final control elements are generally in-line devices which receive the Controller O/P and accordingly regulate the process flow or pressure to control the input variable.
Types: Control Valves most common type, available in various types, sizes and materials to cover almost all applications Regulators used only for application where very precise control is not required. Dampers used only in large sized ducts.
INSTRUMENTATION DEPARTMENT
Control Valves
Numerous types of control valves some of general design , others designed for specific application are available. Some of the General type of Control valves categorized based on their type of construction are * Globe type including Angle, Three way, Y type etc. * Ball type * Butterfly type * Plug type
Each of the above have features which make them suitable for for one particular application or the other in addition different variants are available in each for specific applications
INSTRUMENTATION DEPARTMENT
Body: Body is defined as the valve housing which is mounted in line and can be with Flanged, welded, screwed or wafer type end connections. Generally for low to moderately high pressure ratings Flanged end connection are used for extremely high pressure ratings welded end connection is used. For low pressure utility services screwed end connection may also be used whereas butterfly valves are generally available in wafer type body which is mounted sandwitched between the piping flanges.
INSTRUMENTATION DEPARTMENT
Trim or Internals
Valve trim is the heart of any control valve design, it not only characterizes the valve behavior but also defines the no and type of ports, valve capacity, Pressure drop, flow profile, leakage, noise, and other valve parameters. A valve trim comprises of following parts * Plug * stem * Seat * seat ring * Guiding * Bushing
INSTRUMENTATION DEPARTMENT
Bonnet
Valve bonnet, houses the plug stem and provides rigidity to valve trim and actuator connection and supports actuator housing. Bonnet also houses the various packing, seals etc for stopping stem leakage. Bonnets can be: Extended type for cryogenic services below 0 deg C Finned type for high temperature services Bellow seal type for toxic services
INSTRUMENTATION DEPARTMENT
Actuators
Actuators provide the force required for valve movement and holding the valve in fully open or fully closed state against the fluid pressure. Types : Based on the medium of operation actuators can be classified in following categories * Pneumatic * hydraulic * Electric Most of the instrumentation application in hydrocarbon industry employ Pneumatic actuators for control applications. Hydraulic actuators are generally used for large size valves operating at very high differential pressure. Electrical actuators are used in Motor operated valves for mainly On/Off service.
INSTRUMENTATION DEPARTMENT
Pneumatic Actuators
Pneumatic actuators can be Linear type Spring diaphragm , Piston operated- Globe valves Rotary type Cylinder with scotch yoke, Rack and pinion, vane, Dual cylinder operated Ball,Butterfly,Quarter turn valves
INSTRUMENTATION DEPARTMENT
Failure position
Failure position is defined as the final resting place of valve plug.Accordingly valves can be: FO- Fail open(Air to close) FC- Fail close (Air to open) FL- Fail lock (FLDC,FLDO)
INSTRUMENTATION DEPARTMENT
NOISE
Allowable noise limit in a control valve 90 Dba
Major sources of noise in control valves are: -Hydrodynamic noise -Aerodynamic noise
INSTRUMENTATION DEPARTMENT
Control valve noise treatment includesTreatment of the noise source(revising the valve) Treatment of noise path (providing insulation or silencers)

Valve Positioners
Valve positioners are high gain proportional controllers which measure the actual valve stem position ( through mechanical linkage, compares the same with the pneumatic signal I/P from I/P converter and produce a O/P to reduce this error. Thus a positioner acts as a slave controller under the main process controller which ensures that the variations due to aging factors of the valve and actuator ( change in packing friction due to dirt or lack of lubricant, change in dynamic behavior of valve and actuator, wearing out of linkages etc) are corrected. Positioner also allow for split ranging of control valves, and it is always recommended to use positioner if the control valve is provided with non spring return actuators.

This is a preliminary selection.The process data is put into this module of the software which helps in the selection of type of valve.
INSTRUMENTATION DEPARTMENT
Material selection
We move into the second module of the software where material selection of body, bonnet, seating, packing and trim is done based on data input.
