What is BS EN 60534-7 - Control valve data sheet about?

BS EN 60534-7 is a part of the IEC 60534 series provides a list of requirements that are normally necessary for the procurement of the majority of control valves for process systems. No attempt is made to include all possible requirements for any conceivable process.

The list is arranged in a format designed to assist the specification writer with a standardized presentation of data and also to be a basis for use with data processing facilities. A detailed set of instructions is included in order to ensure that the abbreviated terms are fully understood and that consistent data entries are always made.

Who is BS EN 60534-7 - Control valve data sheet for?

BS EN 60534-7 on control valve data sheet is useful for:

Technical data sheets
Technical documents
Process control and controllers
Flow regulators
The chemical process industry

Why should you use BS EN 60534-7 - Control valve data sheet?

The writing of control valve specifications is an extremely important segment of the complete design, purchase, and manufacture of any process control system. If the wrong control valve is specified, due to either incomplete or erroneous specification, the replacement of that valve becomes costly to both the user and the control valve manufacturer and often results in undue project delay. Therefore, many of the important control valve users and contractors have developed their own standard data sheets to eliminate as much misunderstanding as possible regarding the valve specifications.

To avoid confusion between valve manufacturers, users, and contractors, standardization of the datasheet is required. The purpose of a standard control valve data sheet is to promote uniformity, both in content and form. General use of BS EN 60534-7 by contractors, users, and manufacturers offers many advantages. For example:

Assisting in the preparation of a complete specification by listing and providing space for all principal descriptive options
Promoting uniform terminology
Facilitates quoting, purchasing, receiving, accounting, and ordering procedures by the uniform display of information
Providing a useful permanent record and information for checking
Improving efficiency from initial concept to the final installation
