What is the Difference between E/P Positioner and I/P
positioner in a control valve? In which applications the
respective positioners are used in?
Answer Posted / nabeel
I/P transducer or positioner functions for "Current(I) to
Pneumatic(P)" signal converter. It converts "4-20mA of
Current signal" to "3-15psig pneumatic signal".
Whereas, E/P positioner functions for "Voltage
(electromotive force = E) to Pneumatic (P)" signal
converter. It converts "1-5V of voltage signal" to "3-
15psig" of pneumatic signal.

Calculate the maximum pressure drop that can be allowed to occur across a control valve, so that we can prevent cavitation / flashing from occurring. Use the following formula: Δ P allow = Km (P1 – PvapourA) where, Δ P allow - the maximum allowable differential pressure for sizing purposes, or terminal pressure drop; Km- the valve recovery coefficient from the manufacturer’s catalogue; P1 - absolute inlet fluid pressure; PvapourA - absolute fluid vapour pressure at the inlet temperature; Use Atmospheric pressure = 101.3 kPa, P1 = 1200 kPa(g), PvapourA = 4 kPa, KM = 0.72
