Are you familiar with MAST, as it relates to Valve Automation?
Today, we delve into the world of industrial valves and introduce you to the forthcoming ISO 5115 standard, which focuses on part-turn valve actuation.
Whether you are a seasoned professional or just stepping into the world of industrial valves, this newsletter promises to shed light on what is known as MAST and why it will prove invaluable in your day-to-day operations.
What is MAST?
M: Maximum
A: Allowable
S: Stem
T: Torque
The cornerstone of ISO 5115, MAST refers to the maximum torque that can be applied to a valve stem or coupling, as defined by the manufacturer, without causing permanent deformation or mechanical damage that prevents sealing or operation.
Understanding this parameter is essential for ensuring the longevity and reliability of your valves.
Why ISO 5115 Matters:
The ISO 5115 standard is set to revolutionize the industrial valve industry by providing a unified framework for understanding and specifying valve actuation. This standard ensures seamless interoperability, reliable operation, and safer valve designs across diverse industrial applications.
