About GAZAR Control Valve
Performance and safety are two of the key concerns in plants today. Since control valves are the only devices in the control loop that actually move to adjust the process, their performance is fundamental. If they don’t perform properly, you can’t meet production schedules and maintain product quality. GAZAR control valve (Globe, Rotary) manipulates a flowing fluid, such as gas, steam, water, or chemical compounds, to compensate for the load disturbance and keep the regulated process variable as close as possible to the desired set point. The control valve assembly typically consists of the valve body, the internal trim parts, an actuator to provide the motive power to operate the valve, and a variety of additional valve accessories, which can include positioners, transducers, supply pressure regulators, manual operators, or limit switches.
GAZAR Globe Control Valve
Our control valves are available in a variety of sizes (NPS ½ thru 24) and provide users with performance and flexibility. They can help solve an array of application needs from big to small, hot to cold, general to severe. GAZAR globe control valves have a selection of valve cages or plugs that can be interchanged to modify the inherent flow characteristic to linear, equal percentage, or quick opening to meet capacity demands.
GAZAR Rotary Control Valves
Rotary control valves generally have much higher maximum capacity than globe valves for a given body size. This fact makes rotary control valves attractive in applications where the pressure drop is rather small. Rotary control valves include ball, high-performance butterfly (used in throttling applications requiring large flow capacities (from NPS 2 to 72)).
Actuator for Control Valve
Pneumatically-operated control valve actuators are the most popular type in use, but electric, hydraulic, and manual actuators are also widely used. The spring-and-diaphragm pneumatic actuator is most commonly specified due to its dependability and simplicity of design. Pneumatically-operated piston actuators provide high stem force output for demanding service conditions. Adaptations of both spring-and-diaphragm and pneumatic piston actuators are available for direct installation on rotary control valves.
Diaphragm Actuators
Pneumatically-operated diaphragm actuators use air supply from controllers, positioners, or other sources, including various style such as:
1. Direct-acting, in which the increasing air pressure pushes the diaphragm down and extends the actuator stem.
2. Reverse-acting, in which the increasing air pressure pushes the diaphragm up and retracts the actuator stem.
3. Reversible, in which actuators can be assembled for either direct or reverse action.
4. Direct-acting unit for rotary valves, in which the increasing air pressure pushes down on the diaphragm, which, depending on orientation of the actuator lever on the valve shaft, may either open or close the valve.
Piston Actuators
Piston actuators are pneumatically operated using high-pressure plant air up to 150 psig (10.3 bar), often eliminating the need for a supply pressure regulator. Various accessories can be incorporated to position a double acting piston in the event of supply pressure failure, including pneumatic trip valves and lock-up systems.
Manual Actuators
Manual actuators are useful where automatic control is not required, but where ease of operation and good manual control is still necessary.
They are often used to actuate the bypass valve in a three-valve bypass loop around control valves for manual control of the process during maintenance or shut down of the automatic system.
Electric Actuators
Electric actuator designs use an electric motor and some form of gear reduction to move the valve plug. While electric actuators have traditionally been limited to on/off operation, some are now capable of continuous control. The use of brushless motors in electric actuators can reduce or eliminate motor burnout associated with turning the motor on and off rapidly. The initial purchase price still tends to remain above that of pneumatic actuation.
Integrated Accessory Attachment
• Eliminates external tubing reduced height and weight
• Entire actuator top works can be rotated 360° without disassembly
Self-adjusting PTFE V-ring Packing
• Maintenance-free design
• Low friction
• Roller burnished stem reduces friction external leakage, and maximizes packing life beyond what basic polishing can offer from competitors.
• Double wall design
• Small valve travel results in a long bellows life
• Modular design allows for the addition or removal of assembly bellows in the field
• Straight Thread Seat Design No cage, gaskets or seals required trim Fewer spare parts required for maintenance Easy removal even after many years of service.
• Various Noise Attenuation Options Flow Divider I, II, & III (Gases/Vapors) Anti-Cavitation Trims (Liquids) Optional downstream orifice plates
Rolling Diaphragm
Greatly reduces diaphragm wear compared to Stretching diaphragm design used by competitors Diaphragm design results in very small external air loss
Single Bonnet/Yoke Design
Actuator removal without the need to open the valve Bonnet and body of the valve always have same metallurgy Fewer components results in a lower profile valve

Noise Reduction
When not getting noticed is a good thing
A flow divider is an optional internal device used with gases and vapors to help reduce the sound pressure level (SPL) of a valve. By creating an additional stage of pressure reduction inside the valve, it breaks a single large flow stream into multiple smaller flow streams, resulting in reduced noise emissions.

GAZAR Control Valve Sizing
Control valves handle all kinds of fluids at temperatures from the cryogenic range to well over 538°C (1000°F). Selection of a control valve body assembly requires particular consideration to provide the best available combination of valve body style, material, and trim construction design for the intended service.
Capacity requirements and system operating pressure ranges also must be considered in selecting a control valve to ensure satisfactory operation without undue initial expense. Following information be provided for any set of conditions deemed important:
