Description
VALVE OPERATION
CORT valves supply a complete engineered package of valve and operating equipment to provide any means of operation, such as:-
Manual
Wrench, multi-turn gearbox, quarter-turn gearbox or hand pump. Locks may be fitted to prevent unauthorised operation. Interlocks are used where sequential operation is specified.
Automatic
The operation is under control of a computer, PLC or devices such as fire or pipeline leakage detectors. For fail-safe systems it is normal to protect against power failure by storing sufficient energy for valve operation.
Powered
Any pneumatic, hydraulic or electric actuator may be specified. A powerpack is often provided to convert the energy source available on site into the form most suitable to operate the valve.
Remote
Any remote operating system and protocols may be specified.
