Type 6000

Volume Booster
High Flow Capacity in a Rugged
Aluminum or Stainless Steel Casing

The Type 6000 Volume Booster is a one-to-one signal to

output relay that, when used with a positioner/actuator, is
designed to increase the stroking speed of control valves. An
integral bypass valve allows you to tailor the output force to
meet the application requirements. Large signal changes to
the booster can deliver high volume, fast action throttling
control while smaller signal changes are dampened. When
used with on/off control valves, the bypass can be closed for
increased stroking speed. The T6000 is available in aluminum
or stainless steel construction.

Features
• Fast Response Delivers high air
volume for rapid actuator stroking
• Adjustable Bypass Valve
Tunes unit response to eliminate
actuator overshoot or overdamping
• Soft Seat Sealing Provides tight shut-
off to reduce costly air consumption
• Corrosion and Wear Resistant
Construction Stainless steel external
trim and internal wear parts
• Available in Aluminum or
Stainless Steel
• Choice of Porting 1/2" or 3/4" NPT
supply and output ports
