Product catalog summary
Overview
Fisher™ control valves and instruments are crucial for maintaining performance and safety in industrial process control. The catalog emphasizes the importance of selecting the right valve type, design, and manufacturer to ensure safety and efficiency.
Control Valve Selection
Choosing the correct control valve involves considering capacity, size, and application-specific requirements. There is no universal standard for selecting valve trim in severe service applications, necessitating tailored solutions.
Fisher Control Valves
  • Globe Control Valves: Adaptable to different flow demands with interchangeable cages or plugs.
  • Rotary Control Valves: Suitable for applications with small pressure drops, offering high capacity and precise flow control.
  • Critical and Severe Service Valves: Designed for challenging conditions like cavitation and high pressure, offering extended service life and reduced ownership costs.
Valve Accessories and Diagnostics
Fisher provides a range of accessories and diagnostic tools, including digital, pneumatic, and electronic instruments for monitoring and controlling variables such as pressure and temperature.
Advanced Technologies
Technologies like Whisper Trim™ and Cavitrol™ address issues like noise and cavitation, ensuring compliance with safety standards and enhancing operational longevity.
Valve Actuators and Controllers
Valve actuators deliver pressurized air to adjust valve positions according to control system set points. Various models of digital valve controllers and traditional positioners are used for controlling liquid levels and specific gravity through HART or FOUNDATION fieldbus protocols.
Transducers
Electro-Pneumatic (I/P) transducers convert electronic signals into pneumatic signals, essential for control loops requiring electronic control signals to operate control valves.
Valve Accessories
Accessories such as volume boosters enhance the air supply to valve actuators, ensuring optimal process performance.
Design and Testing
The design process includes materials analysis and casting verification, supported by over 400 U.S. patents. Testing procedures cover vibration, cryogenic conditions, noise, emissions, multi-phase flow, and high cycle scenarios.
Expertise and Software
Fisher's expertise in severe and critical service applications is noted, along with the use of additive manufacturing and digital ecosystems. Software tools like Specification Manager and FIELDVUE ValveLink are mentioned for valve sizing and selection.
Service and Support
The document emphasizes repair services, parts availability, and educational training, supported by a global network of manufacturing and research facilities.
Global Presence
Fisher products are manufactured worldwide, ensuring consistent quality and integration with other components.
Conclusion
Emerson's Fisher products are designed to enhance process efficiency and longevity, with a commitment to innovation and customer support.

™ Control Valves and Instruments-2

Proper control valve selection is critical for your process loop. Performance and safety are two of the key concerns in plants today. Since control valves are the only devices in the control loop that actually move to adjust the process, their performance is fundamental. If they don’t perform properly, you can’t meet production schedules and maintain product quality. Then there’s safety. When there’s a lack of knowledge of control valve position or operation, you could threaten worker safety, cause environmental concerns, and potentially damage operating equipment. That’s a lot of pressure on...

Since 1880, Fisher valves and instruments have been trusted by the process control industry. Today, the easily recognizable all-green paint identifies valves carrying the Fisher brand. Meet changing process demands with valve trim variations. Fisher globe control valves have a selection of cages or plugs that can be interchanged to modify the inherent flow characteristic to meet changing flow demands. Globe Control Valves u p5 Get high capacity, precise flow control for a lower total cost of ownership. Fisher rotary control valves provide high capacity control across a broad range of applications....

Globe Control Valves Meet changing process demands with control valve trim variations. Fisher globe control valves are available in a variety of sizes (NPS ½ thru 36) and provide users with performance and flexibility. They can help solve an array of application needs from big to small, hot to cold, general to severe. Fisher globe control valves have a selection of valve cages or plugs that can be interchanged to modify the inherent flow characteristic to linear, equal percentage, or quick opening to meet capacity demands from 0.0001 Cv up to 12,000 Cv. Fisher easy-e™ control valves pioneered...

Globe Valves Globe Valves use a linear motion to move a closure member into and out of a seating surface. They have a body distinguished by a globular-shaped cavity around the port region. Many single-seated valve bodies use cage or retainer-style constructions to retain the seat ring, provide valve plug guiding, and provide a means for establishing particular valve flow characteristics. Cage or retainer-style single-seated valve bodies can also be easily modified by the change of trim parts to provide reduced capacity flow, noise attenuation, or reduction or elimination of cavitation. u easy-e...

Rotary Control Valves Get high capacity, precise flow control for a lower total cost of ownership. Rotary control valves generally have much higher maximum capacity than globe valves for a given body size. This fact makes rotary control valves attractive in applications where the pressure drop is rather small. Rotary control valves include ball, segmented ball, high-performance butterfly, and eccentric plug styles with such familiar names as Fisher Vee-Ball™ and Fisher Control-Disk™ valves. What’s your challenge? The criterion of capacity or size can be an overriding constraint on control valve...

Ball Valves Ball Valves with trunnions help maintain consistent flow rates for high capacity, heavy-duty applications. They have a rotatable ball with a cylindrical flow passage through the center to the control flow. When the ball is turned one-quarter of the way, the flow stops. The port of a full-port or full-bore ball valve equals the pipeline diameter and presents little or no restriction to flow to allow for pigging when not attenuated. The port of a reduced-port or reduced-bore ball valve is smaller than the pipe to absorb a small amount of pressure drop. u V250 | V260 | V270 | V280 Segmented...

Critical and Severe Service Control Valves Extend valve operating life in the most difficult installations. Fisher severe service control valves are used in the most difficult installations within your process plant. These installations commonly including cavitating, erosive, corrosive, flashing, outgassing, noisy, high pressure, high temperature, high pressure drop, or high velocity media that can cause premature failure. A severe service control valve may or may not be a critical service valve—one that’s essential to the operation of the plant. To maximize longevity in harsh conditions, we...

Noise Control Trims Aerodynamic and Hydrodynamic Noise Control Trims are trusted and tested to protect your personnel and the surrounding environment from excessive noise risks. High pressure drops and high mass flows involving liquids, gases, vapors, or steam can lead to unwanted and dangerous noise levels. Allowing this noise to continue puts you at risk of fenceline noise regulation fines or potential employee hearing loss. High noise levels can also lead to equipment damage through vibration and process control issues. Mitigate your risk by choosing Fisher products. u Whisper Trim I | Whisper...

Controllers and Instruments Modulate control valves and monitor process variables. A wide selection of Fisher digital, pneumatic, and electronic instruments control valve position and variables such as level, pressure, or temperature. They are added to control valves for five basic reasons: to improve process control; improve safety; monitor the valve responsiveness; diagnose issues; and improve valve performance or speed of response. We were the first to develop digital valve controllers—Fisher FIELDVUE™ instruments—and performance diagnostics for improved control and predictive maintenance....
