4 Classification/Designation
4.1 Duty classification
4.1.1 General

According to their intended function, two versions of linear valve actuators are defined by this document:

on-off duty and modulating duty.
4.1.2 On-off duty

The actuator is required to drive the valve through its entire travel from the fully open position to the

fully closed position or vice-versa.
4.1.3 Modulating duty

The actuator is required to continuously drive the valve to any position between fully open and fully

closed or vice-versa.
4.2 Action
4.2.1 Double Acting (DA)

Actuator which requires the supply of motive energy to operate in both travel directions.

4.2.2 Single Acting (SA)

Actuator which requires external power to operate the valve in one direction only, the return stroke being

powered by an alternative form of stored energy (Fail-Safe actuators).

For the purpose of this document, the stored energy shall be supplied by a mechanical spring.

Drive the valve to any position between fully open and fully closed.
5 Motive energy
5.1 Operating medium
The operating medium shall be hydraulic fluid.

The fluid may be used, on agreement between the manufacturer/supplier and purchaser, ensuring it is

designed for pressure and to be compatible with internal actuator parts and with lubricant properties.

The flashpoint shall be of not less than 93 °C for pressures below 10 bar and 157 °C for pressures above

10 bar. The chemical and physical properties of the hydraulic fluid shall be suitable for use with the

materials used in the design of the actuator and its accessories. The hydraulic fluid shall be suitable for

operation of the hydraulic system through the entire temperature range to which it may be subjected in

service.
5.2 Quality

The operating medium shall have a contamination level specified to ISO 4406 class 18/16/13 as a

maximum.

When necessary the actuator shall be properly flushed to guarantee an internal cleanliness consistent

with the above specified contamination level.
