This level rating confirms ATI actuators have a low probability of failure on the order of .001-.0001. This is important in high reliability applications where the device could cause severe consequences if it is not rated at this level or higher. ATI offers this level of rating as a standard on all its actuators whether it is needed or not.

Valve Basics: Electric Actuator Controls
Electric valve actuators control the opening and closing of valves. With a motor drive that provides torque to operate the valve, these actuators are frequently used on multi-turn valves such as gate or globe and also on ball, plug and other quarter-turn valves.

The Rationale Behind Valve Characteristics
Back in the “early days,” we were taught that, to properly control flow, we should select a linear valve characteristic when the valve controls more than 25% of the piping system pressure drop at full flow.
