Guidelines for Usage

Large Volume Control Valve Actuators: Control valves that require 

large volume actuators may require Model VB-250 volume 

boosters to ensure adequate stroking speed� HPP-5 positioners 

are NOT compatible with volume boosters� The HPP-4 positioner 

must be used�

Bleed to Pressure System (BPS): The HPP-5 positioner is typically 

used for applications where no discharge pressure of less than 

350 psig is available� The very low steady state bleed of the 

positioner makes it efficient for reducing atmospheric emissions� 

The HPP-5 positioner is also compatible with the Becker BPS�

High Gain Systems: The HPP-5 positioner is not preferred for this 

application� It may be successfully used with small diameter (4 

inch and smaller) ball valves for this application, but its limited 

orifice capacity makes it too slow for controlling larger valves�

CVE Globe Pattern Control Valves: The Becker HPP series position-

ers are compatible with globe style control valves, but require a 

minimum of 2 inches of actuator stroke for proper feedback and 

operation�

This makes it impossible to use this positioner with most globe 

valves smaller than 4 inch port size�

Compatible Actuators:

 

n

 

Becker RPDA Actuators (Rotary Piston Double-Acting)

 

n

 

Becker LPDA Actuators (Linear Piston Double-Acting)

 

n

 

Other manufacturer’s double-acting piston actuators*

*Consult GE for additional information

Retrofit Compatibility:

Excellent performance is achieved by pairing the HPP-5 positioner 

with genuine GE control valve actuators� Should you already 

have existing control valve actuator(s) in service, the addition of a 

Model HPP-5 positioner can improve performance and eliminate 

atmospheric bleed emissions if using the BPS (Bleed to Pressure 

System) feature�

Some Compatible Actuators:

 

Bettis T-Series piston actuators

 

n  

Fisher Type 470 piston actuators

 

Fisher Type 1061 piston

*Resolution and repeatability figures reflect a positioner that is adjusted with a 

minimum deadband to reduce bleed gas� If the deadband is eliminated (slightly 

increasing the bleed gas), resolution and repeatability will improve�
