Closing Time of Valve with Hydraulic Actuator
When both pinch valves and knife gate valves use hydraulic actuators, the closing time calculation becomes a bit more standardized due to the similar nature of the actuation mechanism. Hydraulic actuators can provide quick and powerful movements, which is beneficial for both types of valves, especially in applications requiring rapid shut-off. Here’s how you can approach estimating the closing times for both valves with hydraulic actuators:
