Appendix B: Valve Orifice Selection
General Information
The 640B controller is available in seven (7) valve orifice sizes. You should confirm that the
valve orifice in your 640B controller is the correct size for your application before you install it
into your system. The orifice is not adjustable and is only replaceable at the factory.
This selection guide is valid with either seal material (metal or elastomer).
Checking the Orifice Size
The orifice number is included in the model code number of your 640B controller, as shown in
Figure 23. The nominal flow rate range for the orifice numbers are listed in Table 10. Refer to
Appendix D: Model Code Explanation, page 63, for a complete description of the model code.
