What Factors Affect Control Valves Response Time
In order to provide optimal control of many industrial processes, a very important factor is that the valve must reach a specific position quickly. A fast response to small signal variations, such as 1% or less, is one of the most important factors in providing optimal process control. In automatic regulating control, most of the signal variations received from the controller are small changes to the position. If the control valve assembly can respond quickly to these small changes, industrial process variability is greatly improved.
