ISA96, Valve Actuator Committee

If you are interested in participating on ISA96, please contact the Chairman, Vince Mezzano, or the ISA Staff Contact, Eliana Beattie.

Scope

The Committee will develop a standard consisting of four parts:

Part 1 Terminology and Definitions

Part 2 The basic requirements for electric valve actuators for both on-off duty and modulating applications. The section will include guidelines and recommendations for manufacturing process control, device protection, and testing.

Part 3 The basic requirements for pneumatic valve actuators of the single- and double-acting types used for on-off and modulating applications. The section will include guidelines and recommendations for protection, modulation, and testing.

Part 4 The basic requirements for hydraulic valve actuators of the single- and double-acting types used for on-off and modulating applications. The section will include guidelines and recommendations for protection, modulation, and testing.

Purpose

To provide basic requirements for pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic actuators not manufactured by the valve, damper, or penstock manufacturer. Definitions of terms, performance requirements, and methods of sizing and selection will be developed.

ISA Meetings

The next series of ISA96 meetings will be held 7-9 October 2009 in Houston, Texas, in conjunction with the Fall Leaders' Meeting and ISA EXPO 2009. Please visit www.isa.org/expo2009 for information on hotel reservations.
