What is the use of link connected to the valve positioner ?

1 Answer

Answer :

The link serves as the feed back to the value. Ant valve movement is sensed by this link. Sometimes due to line pressure changes on H.P. service the valve position may be changed, the link in turn senses this change and the positioner will produce an output which will operate the valve to the original position.
