Sympathetic actuators provide an answer to Britain's ageing pipework.

Highlights from the article: Modern valve actuators are capable of exerting very high levels of torque to open and close the valve. Variable speed also offers significant advantages for challenging valve control tasks, since it allows the optimum operating speed to be selected for each change of valve position. A full range of single-speed actuators and controls, of course, plus SAV multi-turn actuators for open/close duty and SARV for modulating duty are paired with intelligent ACV .2 actuator controls, while SAVEx and SARVEx are explosion-proof versions of the same devices (pictured: AUMA SARVEx ATEX variable speed valve actuator).
