2. Operation
The Masoneilan VariPak microflow control valve
features a very wide range of rated flow coefficients
(C v ), from 0.004 to 3.8.
Two types of actuators are available:
- The VariPak 28001 with a single lever, designed for
just one rated C v . This version is used when enough is
known about the operating conditions when sizing the
valve.
- The VariPak 28002 with an adjustable rated C v . This
valve uses a patented lever system to adjust the rated
C v on site to suit the actual operating conditions,
thereby avoiding any oversizing in flow capacity.
Each plug and seat ring combination can be adjusted
without changing the control signal.
2.1 PRECISE ADJUSTMENT OF THE VARIPAK 28002
ADJUSTABLE-C v VALVE
The valve is adjusted using a simple, but robust,
crossed-lever system with an adjustable fulcrum. This
can be done easily by hand, either before installation or
during operation. For example, an application requiring
a theoretical C v of 0.006 could be handled using a
VariPak 28002 with a maximum C v of 0.010, that can
subsequently be calibrated on site between 0.004 and
0.010.

2.2.1 Plug/seat ring combinations (trim)
Eight plugs and five seat rings are used to
make up the ten available plug and seat ring
combinations, identified by codes from 0 to 9
(see figure 2). The shape of each plug and the
port diameter of the seat ring can be used to
match parts with the table in figure 2.
The difference between the four plugs in trim
Nos. 6 to 9 lies in the angle of the flat machined
on the tip. The same seat ring (3e) and the
same spacer (3f) are used in all four cases (see
figure 2).
Use the table in figure 1 to select the plug and
seat ring combination to obtain the C v value or
range of C v values you require.
