Product Overview
The Burkert Type 2712 (Model 00217430, size A 40.0) is a pneumatically actuated globe control valve engineered for precise continuous regulation of neutral and slightly aggressive media in industrial process lines. Manufactured by Bürkert, a global leader in fluid control systems, this valve combines a robust stainless steel globe valve body with a multi-spring pneumatic piston actuator to deliver accurate, repeatable flow control proportional to a standard pneumatic pilot signal. Unlike on/off shut-off valves, the Type 2712 is designed for modulating service, positioning its parabolic or equal-percentage plug trim to throttle flow across a wide control range. It serves as a critical final control element in closed-loop process systems, regulating flow, pressure, temperature, or level when paired with an electro-pneumatic positioner. The valve’s balanced trim design minimizes actuator force requirements while maintaining tight shut-off and high rangeability, making it a preferred choice for demanding process automation applications.
