AWWA C541-08

This standard describes hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder- and vane-type actuating devices that are externally mounted on gate, ball, plug, cone, globe, and butterfly valves and on slide gates suitable for use in water utilities.

The standard defines the minimum requirements for such actuating devices, including sizing considerations, general design, materials, applications, painting and coatings, data to be furnished by manufacturer, performance testing and certification, inspection, packaging, shipping, handling, and storage.

This standard is one of two new standards, the other being AWWA C542-09 Electric Motor Actuators for Valves and Slide Gates, that replaces AWWA C540 Power-Actuating Devices for Valves and Sluice Gates.
