EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 15714-1 testing. This standard defines specific terms for industrial valve actuators not included in EN 736-2 and EN 736-3.
EN 15714-1 is a European standard that provides terminology and definitions for industrial valves and actuators. The standard is divided into several parts, and Part-1 focuses specifically on defining key terms and concepts related to actuators.
Some of the important definitions provided by EN 15714-1 are:
Actuator: A device used to operate or control a valve, typically by converting electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic energy into mechanical energy.
Control valve actuator: An actuator specially designed for use with a control valve used to regulate the flow of a liquid or gas.
Double acting actuator: An actuator capable of producing force in both directions, typically using a piston to move a shaft or other mechanical component.
Spring return actuator: An actuator that uses a spring to return to its original position when a control signal is removed is typically used for fail-safe applications.
Electric actuator: An actuator that uses electricity to generate mechanical energy, typically using a motor or solenoid.
Pneumatic actuator: An actuator that uses compressed air or gas to generate mechanical energy, typically using a piston or diaphragm.
Hydraulic actuator: An actuator that uses a fluid, typically oil or water, to generate mechanical energy, typically using a piston or hydraulic motor.
Overall, EN 15714-1 provides a useful resource for engineers, designers, and manufacturers working with industrial valves and actuators to aid a common understanding of key industry terminology and concepts.
