Flow media

Actuator guidance by process medium

Review service notes for common liquids, gases, steam, and hazardous media before selecting EFX actuator protection and control options.

Oil

Actuator selection for fuel oil, crude oil, lubrication, and storage transfer valves, with viscosity, temperature, and area review.

Confirm viscosity, temperature, and area classification before selecting actuator options.

Flow control guidance for potable water, wastewater, cooling water, and seawater valves needing enclosure and corrosion review.

Check enclosure rating and anti-corrosion requirements for outdoor or marine installations.

Valve automation guidance for natural gas, compressed air, and industrial gas lines needing certification and fail-safe review.

Explosion-proof certification and fail-safe strategy should match the site hazard analysis.

Actuator guidance for saturated and superheated steam valves needing thermal isolation, torque margin, and suitable mounting.

High temperature service requires valve thermal isolation and suitable mounting arrangements.

Control support for thermal oil circulation and heating valves needing ambient temperature, fire safety, and duty-cycle review.

Verify ambient temperature and fire safety requirements around heater skids.

Actuator guidance for hydrogen production, compression, storage, and distribution valves needing leakage and hazard review.

Hydrogen service demands careful material, leakage, and hazardous area review.

Automation options for oxygen distribution and process supply valves needing oxygen-clean assemblies and contamination control.

Oxygen service requires oxygen-clean valve assemblies and strict contamination control.

Valve actuation guidance for refrigeration, fertilizer, and chemical ammonia services needing sealing and emergency shutdown review.

Confirm toxicity, corrosion, sealing, and emergency shutdown requirements.
