🔍 Key Concepts

• Remote valve operation is usually used when local manual operation is difficult, hazardous, or requires very high force. • Consider how valve size affects the force/torque needed to open and close it. • Think about how frequency of operation (routinely vs. rarely) influences whether remote actuation is worth the cost and complexity.

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: in a machinery space, which type of valve would be hardest for a person to operate by hand—large or small, frequently used or rarely used? • Which situation most justifies installing an electric/pneumatic/hydraulic actuator: something you turn all the time, or something that’s big and hard to move but not used often? • If a valve is part of an emergency or safety system, would it likely be small or large, and operated frequently or only occasionally?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on how valve size relates to required operating torque or force. • Consider the cost and complexity of remote actuators—would you spend that for every small routine valve? • Think about safety and accessibility: which type of valve is more likely to be in a remote or hazardous location, justifying remote control?
