Pneumatic actuators and valve testing

Fitted between the valve and actuator, Easi-Test from Smith Flow Control is a unique new device that permits the independent testing of pneumatic actuators and process valves on live systems. It makes independent testing of both declutchable and automatically clutchable valves a simple procedure. When the valve is declutched it can be locked in any position, allowing maintenance, function testing or change-out of the actuator without interrupting the process or compromising the process management system.
