High Flow Capacity Volume Booster

The Type 6100 is designed to significantly increase the stroking speed in valve actuation system applications
that require high forward flow and exhaust capacities.

Description

The Type 6100 is designed to significantly increase the stroking speed in valve actuation system applications
that require high forward flow and exhaust capacities.

The Type 6100 is a 1:1 signal to output relay that when used with a positioner/actuator, is designed to
increase the stroking speed of control valves. An integral bypass valve provides system stability while
allowing normal positioner airflow and normal valve actuation with small input changes. The soft valve
seat design provides tight shutoff and eliminates leakage in steady state operation to reduce costly air
consumption.

Type 6100 applications include actuation of control valves used in chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas,
pharmaceutical and food processing markets. Other OEM applications include printing presses, textile
machinery, tire machinery, air operated pumps, paper machinery and paint spray systems.

The High Flow Booster handles up to 250 psig (17.0 bar) supply air pressure and provides output air
pressure of up to 150 psig (10.0 bar). Temperature limits are -40º to 200ºF (-40º to 93ºC). Exhaust
capacity is up to 80 scfm (2,264 Nl/min) with downstream 5 psig (0.4 bar) above 20 psig (1.38 bar)
setpoint. Supply pressure effect is 0.1 psig (.007 bar) for a 25 psig (1.7 bar) change. The
Type 6100 weighs 2.5 lbs (1.13 kg). A choice of three output ports, 1/4″, 1/2” or 3/4” NPT provides
plumbing flexibility for easy hookup.

Features
• 1/4″, 1/2″ or 3/4″ NPT Porting
• Integral Adjustable Bypass Valve – Allows small incremental signal changes without opening the
primary valve
• High Flow Capacity – For rapid actuator stroking. Up to 250 scfm.
• Soft Valve Seat Design – Provides tight shutoff and eliminates leakage in steady state operation
• High Temperature Operation – Up to 2000F (930C)
• 2 High Output Exhaust Vents – 1/4″ NPT exhaust vents optional
• 2 1/4″ NPT Gauge Ports
• Balanced Supply Valve – Minimizes the effect of supply pressure variation

Applications

Applications include actuation of control valves used in chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas,
pharmaceutical and food processing markets. Other OEM applications include printing presses,
textile machinery, tire machinery, air operated pumps, paper machinery and paint spray systems.
