Product Overview
The Burkert Type 2381 (part number 00230898) is a pneumatically operated bellows control valve engineered for precise, leak-free regulation of neutral and aggressive media in industrial process systems. Manufactured by Burkert, a global leader in fluid control technology, this valve utilizes a pneumatically actuated piston mechanism acting on a PTFE bellows diaphragm. The bellows design hermetically separates the actuator from the process fluid, eliminating stem leakage and ensuring contamination-free operation. The Type 2381 is ideally suited for continuous modulating control tasks in chemical processing, water treatment, and pharmaceutical production where media purity and operational safety are paramount.

Engineering Features & Advantages
- Hermetic Bellows Seal: The PTFE bellows completely isolates the actuator from the process fluid, preventing leakage and cross-contamination in aggressive media applications.
- Precise Pneumatic Actuation: The piston actuator delivers smooth, proportional valve positioning for accurate flow and pressure control in closed-loop process systems.
- Industrial Reliability: Built for continuous operation under severe industrial conditions, with high cycle life and minimal maintenance requirements.
- Direct Fit Replacement: Exact dimensional and functional compatibility with original Burkert OEM standards, ensuring drop-in installation without modification.
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Wetted parts and body materials selected for compatibility with neutral and aggressive fluids, extending service life.
Typical Industrial Applications
This Burkert Type 2381 bellows control valve is widely deployed in chemical dosing and metering systems, pharmaceutical and biotechnology process lines requiring sterile fluid handling, water and wastewater treatment plants for precise flow regulation, and food and beverage production where hygienic, leak-free operation is essential. Its robust pneumatic design also suits general industrial process control loops in petrochemical and refining environments.
