Control Valve Manifold Dimensions

This table defines the dimensions of a control valve manifold. AutoRouter uses these dimensions to design the manifolds. The dimensions (ATTRIBUTE) are dependent on valve size and pressure class.

Table 1. DPAR-CONTROL-VALVE-PROPERTIES (needed)
RATING SIZE A (not keyed) B Y (not keyed) Weight
150 4.0 34.04 30.99 11.68 29.75
300 10.0 53.59 37.59 18.28 294.45

Control Valve Data Table Dimensions

As shown in the Figure, the dimensions are:
  • A: the horizontal width of the manifold,
  • B: The height from the valve center to the bypass line center,
  • Y: is the length of the control valve itself.
Note: In PlantWise versions earlier than 5.0.19, the Control Valve Properties data table contained two B columns: B-With-Fins and B-No-Fins. The B-no-fins column was obsolete and removed. For compatibility, PlantWise looks for a B-With-Fins column – the column actually used – first. If that column is not in the table, then the B column is used.
