Under what circumstances is a valve positioner needed?

- Situations where the friction is large and precise positioning is required, such as high temperature, low-temperature control valves or control valves using flexible graphite packing.
- Situations where the response speed of the control valve needs to be increased, like adjustment systems for parameters such as temperature, liquid level, etc.
- Situations where the output force and cutting force of the actuator need to be increased, such as a single seat valve with DN larger than or equal to 25 and a double seat valve with DN larger than 100; when the pressure drop across the valve is larger than 1 MPa or the inlet pressure larger than 10 MPa.
- When the split-range adjustment system and the control valve are operated, it is sometimes necessary to change the air opening and air-closing forms.
- Where it is necessary to change the flow characteristics of the control valve.
