Performance and Atmospheric Adaptability
Atmospheric variations affect how fluids and gases behave under different pressures. As altitude increases, barometric pressure decreases and the column of air becomes less dense, which can influence the performance of pneumatic systems. The WP11-H pneumatic actuated ball valve is specifically engineered to maintain consistent torque, sealing, and actuation under these changing conditions. Whether used in facilities located at higher elevations or environments operating under standard atmosphere, this valve guarantees reliable response and precision.

Material and Design
Constructed with stainless steel SS304/316/316L, the WP11-H ensures superior strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. The valve body is designed to handle high pressure applications with excellent sealing capability. Its pneumatic actuator, available in both single acting and double acting types, uses compressed air for fast, accurate, and energy-efficient automation, allowing smooth flow control in industrial systems exposed to varying atmospheric pressure.
Control Options
The pneumatic actuator of the WP11-H series can be configured for various control modes, including on/off or proportional modulation.
It supports standard signal interfaces such as 4–20 mA or 0–10 V for integration with PLC or DCS systems.
This flexibility allows the high-pressure ball valve to perform seamlessly in automated process control environments.
