What factors should be considered when selecting an actuated valve?

When selecting an actuated valve, several factors should be taken into consideration. These factors include the type of valve required for the specific application, the size of the valve needed, the operating pressure and temperature of the system, the type of actuation (such as pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic), the speed and torque requirements, as well as the compatibility with the control system in place. Additionally, considerations should be given to the reliability, maintenance requirements, and cost of the actuated valve to ensure it meets the needs of the operation effectively and efficiently.
