Select by function
Define the process duty first, then choose the component
Use this route when you know what the component must do but have not selected its exact type.
Isolation and shut-off
Full flow shut-off for operation, maintenance or process safety
Modulation and continuous control
Modulation of flow, pressure, temperature or level by manual or automatic command
