Well explained... Such a great animation! Thank you RealPars team.

been waiting for a video like this. simple but packed of explanation and great animation for easier understanding. you sir have earned my subscription :)

[@realpars]

Awesome, thank you!

Our pleasure! Glad to hear that, Wan

[@andidhana3722]

The videos you create are graphically beautiful and so easy to understand! Thank you for your time and effort! Schools make it so hard to explain processes that should be easily understood bruh

[@realpars]

You're very welcome! We're very happy to hear that our course videos have been so useful!

I think the industry could really use a great video on pneumatic pilot positioners where an EPT is controlled to supply a signal pressure to the pilot positioner which then rescales it or provides a higher volume of air for the actuator. Pneumatics seems to be a lost art that so few understand anymore.

[@realpars]

That's a great topic suggestion! I will happily go ahead and pass this on to our course developers. Many thanks for sharing, and happy learning!

4:07 you have mistake. Right valve supposed to be Air-to-open but the spring is in the wrong place. It should be at the top.

[@realpars]

Hi there, Thank you for your comment! Yes, you are correct. Thanks for pointing that out. On rare occasions, we miss something in our animation review.

Sir my question is that can we operate a pneumatic actuator in analog manner...... Like 10%, 20%......and so on....... Or does thhis operate only on 0 or 100%

[@realpars]

Hi there. Yes, many pneumatic valves can be throttled from 0 to 100%. For example, the Spring/Diaphragm type as seen at 2:31 of the video is typically throttled by a pneumatic signal from 3 to 15 psi.

[@1Sumalani]

Well that’s a great explanation but i just wanted to ask you a question that how the 15 psi or let’s say even 60 psi of pressure on diaphragm will stop the process flow where the pressure is around let’s say 400-500 psi. As we know both are forces but how the small force is stopping the big force. Has it has to do anything with area because F=PA the larger the area the more the force is. Plz clarify

[@realpars]

Hi @Adnan Rahim. In many processes, a valve positioner is required. In a nutshell, a positioner receives the control signal and provides whatever additional air pressure is needed to move the valve to its required position. I hope that helps.

[@1Sumalani]

@@realpars I agree it receives 4-20 ma in a transducer which converts this into 3-15 psi and inside the positioner there is an amplifier so to amplify this small pressure into something big pressure. But again my question was clear and I didn’t get a proper answer.

[@realpars]

@@1Sumalani Thank you for getting back to us. Sorry to hear that you feel your question has not been answered. We weren't clear on your question and as such, an answer was provided about positioners as they were not discussed in the video. In fact, based on your last response, I do believe you've answered your own question. The internet is loaded with details on pneumatics and Pressure/Force diagrams that should provide some clarity for you. Thanks again for interacting with us.

Hi Kishan, Thanks for your comment! I am actually not sure about that, as this is created by our animation and graphic department.

[@rzqmlna124]

I don't think pneumatics is that much different from hydraulics, correct?

[@realpars]

Hi @rzqmina. I certainly don't consider myself to be a hydraulic expert but I agree with you. There are very many similarities.
