    • Minimum Pressure Differential: 138 kPa (20 psid) recommended for specified flow accuracy
    • Gas Temperature: –40 to +93°C (–40 to +200°F)
    • Ambient Temperature: –40 to +93°C (–40 to +200°F)
    • Metering Ports: 645 mm², 968 mm², or 1,290 mm² (1.00, 1.50, or 2.00 in²)
    • Heat Soak Rating: 125°C for 6 hours, unpowered
    • Control Signal: DeviceNet / CANopen
    • Position Feedback: 4–20 mA, DeviceNet, or CANopen
    • Metering Valve Leakage: <0.1% of rated flow at 50 psig inlet, 0 psig discharge
    • Slew Rate: <100 ms
    • Position Loop Bandwidth: 40 rad/s at –6 dB at 24 Vdc
    • Gas Connection: 2.00-inch (50.8 mm) RF flanges per ANSI B16.5 Class 600
    • Flange-to-Flange Dimension: 8.50 inches (215.9 mm) nominal
    • Materials: Stainless steel housing and internal gas-contact parts; NACE MR0175-2000 compliant
    • Weight: 48 kg (105 lb)
    • Power Supply: 18–32 VDC
    • Electrical Interface: Dual conduit entries
  • Functional Features:​ Self-cleaning shear-type action prevents port contamination; high-torque electric actuator with onboard driver; single moving part (rotor with metering element and dual resolvers on a single shaft); closed-loop position control; discrete fault output; independent shutdown capability.
  • Working Principle:​ The onboard electronic controller receives a position command via DeviceNet/CANopen (or 4–20 mA), drives the electric actuator to rotate the shear-type metering element, and maintains precise gas flow via resolver feedback. Dual resolvers provide redundancy.
  • Application Scenarios:​ Gas fuel metering for industrial gas turbines (10–50 MW) in power generation, gas compression, and mechanical drive; suitable for base turbines and Dry Low Emission multi-valve configurations.
  • Structural Characteristics:​ Stainless steel body; dual conduit entries; 2-inch ANSI RF flanges; integrated onboard driver electronics; dual resolvers for position feedback.
  • Installation Requirements:​ Mount to turbine gas manifold using 2-inch ANSI B16.5 Class 600 RF flanges; connect 18–32 VDC power; wire DeviceNet/CANopen network; install gas filtration of 25 µm absolute; maintain minimum 20 psid differential for specified accuracy.
  • Usage Notes:​ Do not exceed 750 psig supply pressure; the self-cleaning design tolerates contaminated fuels; verify communication protocol matches the control system; for 9908-263 specifically, confirm the exact port size and driver configuration with Woodward documentation.
