AWWA C542-16(R21) Electric Motor Actuators for Valves and Slide Gates
SKU: 43542-2021
The purpose of this standard is to define the minimum requirements for electric motor actuators for valves and slide gates, including sizing considerations, design, testing, delivery, handling, and storage.
Description
This standard describes electric motor actuators for valves and slide gates in water, wastewater, and reclaimed water utility systems. Electric motor actuators are designed to produce a multiturn rotary motion output to actuate a multiturn valve or gate or to actuate an external gearhead for quarter-turn valves. Electric motor actuators not requiring external gearheads for quarter-turn valves are defined in Sec. 4.4.1.2.
