Core Technical Advantages
-
Field-Proven Spool Valve Design: The 3710 utilizes a simple, mechanical spool valve architecture. This design is highly reliable and provides a fast, accurate response with a long cycle life, making it a “workhorse” for high-frequency throttling applications.
-
Extreme Environmental Resilience: With the inclusion of EPDM O-rings and specialized diaphragms, the 3710 can be deployed in low-temperature applications that would cause standard seals to become brittle and fail.
-
Industry-Specific Material Safety: For sensitive sectors like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and tobacco processing, the positioner can be configured with Fluorocarbon or EPDM internals. These materials ensure compliance with strict purity and chemical compatibility requirements.
-
Operational Stability: The internal mechanisms are specifically engineered to resist “drift.” Changes in ambient temperature or fluctuations in the plant air supply pressure have minimal impact on the positioner’s accuracy.
-
Diagnostic Capability: The 3710 is designed for modern maintenance workflows. It supports the installation of external connectors and piping, allowing for non-invasive diagnostic testing of the entire valve-actuator-positioner assembly without shutting down the process.

Applications and Industry Sectors
Because it can be tailored with specific seal materials, the 3710 is found in a diverse range of industries:
-
Food and Beverage: Controlling steam and liquid lines where FDA-compliant material safety is mandatory.
-
Pharmaceuticals: Precise throttling in clean-room environments requiring high reliability and specific gasket materials.
-
Cold Climate Operations: Outdoor installations in oil and gas fields where temperatures drop below the operating range of standard pneumatic gear.
-
General Chemical: Robust rotary control for V-ball and butterfly valves in harsh, vibrating plant environments.
