Optimized Introduction

At KV Controls, we specialize in advanced flow-control solutions that ensure accuracy, efficiency, and long-term reliability. One of the most effective combinations in industrial automation is the pneumatic globe control valve paired with the SRD988 intelligent positioner. Together, they offer precise regulation of liquids, gases, and steam while providing advanced diagnostics and compatibility with modern control systems. From power generation to mining and chemical plants, this proven solution helps industries achieve safe, stable, and cost-effective operations.

What is a Pneumatic Globe Control Valve?

A pneumatic globe control valve is one of the most widely used control valves in process automation. Its design features a movable plug and seat, arranged in a linear motion, which allows for fine-tuned adjustment of flow rates. Unlike ball or butterfly valves, globe valves are engineered for precision rather than simple on/off control, making them ideal for processes where stability and accuracy are crucial.

The valve is powered by a pneumatic actuator, which uses compressed air to move the stem and plug assembly. This ensures fast, smooth, and reliable actuation, even under varying pressure and temperature conditions. Pneumatic actuation also makes these valves cost-effective and dependable, especially in environments where electricity may not be practical or safe.

When integrated with the SRD988 Intelligent Positioner, the valve achieves an entirely new level of performance. The positioner ensures the valve stem exactly matches the control signal by:

Digitally communicating with plant systems via HART, Profibus PA, or Foundation Fieldbus.
Calibrating automatically, which reduces installation and commissioning time.
Performing self-diagnostics to detect early signs of wear or failure, minimizing downtime.
Delivering precision control with better response times compared to analog positioners.

This combination makes the pneumatic globe control valve with SRD988 not just a mechanical component, but a smart, integrated solution for modern industrial processes.
