What is an industrial valve configurator?

An industrial valve configurator is software that builds and prices a valve by selecting type, size or DN, pressure class, body material, trim, actuation, and end connections. It enforces compatibility rules so that ratings, materials, and connections form a valid assembly, then produces an accurate price, lead time, and datasheet without manual engineering checks.

Does it enforce ANSI pressure class and flange compatibility?

Yes. The rules engine ties size and ANSI pressure class such as 150, 300, or 600 to compatible flange dimensions, bolt patterns, and pressure-temperature ratings per the body material. Combinations that exceed the rated pressure-temperature envelope or mismatch flange standards like ASME B16.5 versus API are blocked at selection time.

Can it configure actuation and accessories?

It can. After the valve body is defined, the configurator sizes pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic actuators to the required torque with a safety factor, then adds positioners, limit switches, solenoids, and fail-safe action. It verifies the actuator mounting interface, such as the ISO 5211 pattern, matches the valve so the assembled package is correct.

Configure Industrial Valves Rated and Ready

An industrial valve configurator builds and prices a valve by selecting type, size or DN, pressure class, body material, trim, actuation, and end connections, while the rules engine enforces ANSI ratings, flange compatibility, and pressure-temperature limits so every quoted assembly is valid and buildable.

Every Valve Specification, Validated

The real selections behind a valve order

Valve Type

Ball, gate, globe, butterfly, check, plug, and control valves, each driving its own valid option set and trim choices.

Size / DN

Nominal size from fractional inch to large bore or DN equivalents, with bore and Cv reporting for flow applications.

Pressure Class / ANSI

ANSI/ASME class 150, 300, 600, 900, and up, with pressure-temperature rating checks against the body material.

Body Material

Carbon steel, 316 stainless, duplex, bronze, and exotic alloys, with seat and trim materials matched to the service.

Actuation

Manual, pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic actuators sized to torque with positioners, limit switches, and fail-safe action.

End Connections

Flanged (B16.5), butt-weld, socket-weld, threaded NPT, and wafer or lug ends validated against size and class.

Why Valve Manufacturers Configure

Eliminate mismatched ratings and slow engineering reviews

Ratings Always Valid

Pressure-temperature envelopes and flange standards are enforced, so no out-of-rating valve is ever quoted.

Correctly Sized Actuators

Actuators are torque-sized with safety factor and mounting checks, ending guesswork on actuated packages.

Distributors Self-Serve

Reps build complete valve assemblies and tag numbers without waiting on engineering for every line item.

Datasheet-Ready Orders

Each configuration yields a datasheet and BOM. See it within the industrial equipment configurator platform.
