Abstract: With the growhh of the Natural Gas Industry there has built up a demand for automatic and remote control of much larger volumes of gas at higher pressures. Since the standard control devices have three inherent drawbacks, that of high restriction in wide open position, high noise level, and loss of positive shut off in closed position due to rapid wear, some individual gas companies, in experimenting, found that a plug valve would overcome to a large extent these failings. Next, these companies sought an actuator for automaiic and remote control of these valves. They adapted rams from other pneumatic and hydraulic system electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic motors with gearing to operate the plug valves.
