About the Solenoid Valve Data Sheet
Solenoid valves are small but often decide whether a shutdown valve closes in time. The data sheet ties their flow capacity, coil and certification to the actuator and safety function.
How to fill in this template
- Define function and normal state.
- Give supply pressure range and medium.
- Choose valve type and size so the actuator vents within the required time.
- Specify coil voltage, power and Ex marking.
- Add SIL and manual override needs.
What the formulas do
- No formulas: specification document laid out in sections like an ISA 20 style data sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions
3/2 or 5/2?
3/2 for single acting spring return actuators; 5/2 for double acting actuators.
Why de energise to trip?
Loss of power or wiring failure then takes the valve to the safe state.
Does solenoid Cv matter?
Yes, too small a Cv slows venting and stroke time.
