FISHER™ DST-G
Key Parameters & Specifications
Parameter / Feature Category Description
Product Name Fisher™ DST-G Digital Sliding Gate™ Control Valve Assembly
Type Integral Assembly of a rotary-shaft control valve body, Sliding Gate trim, and a digital valve positioner.
Primary Function High-performance throttling control with integrated digital diagnostics and configuration.
Trim Technology Sliding Gate™ Trim: A non-rotating stem moves a ported disc across a fixed seat. This design minimizes friction and wear.
Actuator & Positioner Actuator: Spring-and-diaphragm or piston actuator.
Positioner: Typically integrated with a Fisher FIELDVUE® (e.g., DVC6000 or DVC2000) Digital Valve Controller as a standard feature.
Communication & Protocol HART®, FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus, or Profibus PA (depending on the DVC version ordered).
Flow Characteristics Equal Percentage is standard. Linear characteristic is available.
Valve Body Styles Fisher Vee-Ball® (most common for DST-G), Fisher easy-e® Control Valve, or Fisher GX Control Valve.
Size Range (Vee-Ball) Typically 1 to 12 inches (DN 25 to DN 300).
Pressure Rating (ANSI) Class 150 through Class 600.
Leakage Class ANSI Class IV (standard metal-seated). ANSI Class VI (soft-seated) is available for bubble-tight shut-off.
Temperature Range Standard: -50°F to 450°F (-46°C to 232°C). Extended temperature ranges are available with special components.
Key Features
• High Capacity: High Cv for a given valve size.
• Low Fugitive Emissions: Packing system designed for low emissions.
• Smart Diagnostics: Built-in diagnostics via the FIELDVUE positioner (e.g., travel, pressure, step-response tests).
• Stable Control: Non-rotating guide design provides exceptional stability, reducing deadband and hysteresis.
