BS EN 60534-3-2:2001

What is BS EN 60534-3-2 - Rotary control valves about?  

BS EN 60534-3-2  is a European standard that is a part of IEC 60534 series applies to the following control valves: 

• Types: segmented ball and eccentric rotary control valves with or without flanges 
• Nominal sizes: DN20 up to and including DN400 
• Designations: PN10, PN16, PN20, PN25, PN40, PN50, PN63, PN100 and PN110 

BS EN 60534-3-2  covers raised face flanges only. Specifically excluded from BS EN 60534-3-2  are all valves having welded or threaded end connections. 

Who is BS EN 60534-3-2 - Rotary control valves for? 

BS EN 60534-3-2 on rotary control valves is useful for: 

• The agricultural industry 
• The dairy industry 
• The tobacco industry 
• The grain industry 
• Industrial controllers 
• Industrial process control personnel  

Why should you use BS EN 60534-3-2 - Rotary control valves?  

Process control valves enable the control of fluid, liquid, and gas flow rates as well as temperature, pressure, and level. Rotary valves for industrial manufacturing are commonly employed in bulk material handling, dust collection, or pneumatic conveying systems. The valve controls the flow of a product or material by maintaining a constant flow rate that is appropriate for the process.  

BS EN 60534-3-2 provides its users with the face-to-face dimensions for the rotary control valves for uniformity and wider industrial usage. BS EN 60534-3-2 addresses rotary valves that have higher compression ratios, more power, compact and lightweight cylinder head, and reduced complexity leading to higher reliability and more cost-effectiveness.
