EW Series (Designs EWD/EWS/EWT) Sliding-Stem Control Valves through 10 x 8- & 12 x 8-Inch Sizes Design EW Description The EW Series easy-e valves (figures 1 through 5) feature large internal cavities with expanded end connections and a variety of unbalanced and balanced plug designs. Sizes available from 4 x 2(1) through 12 x 8 inches include 8 x 6 with 10-inch ends and 10 x 8 inch sizes. These combinations provide good fluid control in economical, high-capacity valve bodies that keep valve outlet velocities within practical limits. These valves meet a variety of service requirements, such as power plants where oversized piping is used to limit fluid flow velocity. They also perform well in noise abatement applications; for example, high-pressure gas reducing stations where sonic velocities are often encountered at the outlet of conventional valve bodies.
The easy-e Valve Family EW Series valves are part of the versatile easy-e family of industrial control valves from Fisher Controls. easy-e valves share the following characteristics: Multiple trim material choices
Interchangeable, restricted-capacity trims and full-size trims to match variable process flow demands Different cage/plug styles that provide particular flow characteristics for highly-specialized applications. The standard cage comes in three different flow characteristics: quick-opening linear equal percentage 1. Valve body size: end connection size by nominal trim size. For example, a 4 x 2 inch Design EWD valve has 4-inch end connections with nominal 2-inch trim.
