Oil & Gas
Ball and butterfly valves on pipelines, terminals and process skids, often outdoors and in hazardous areas. KOSAPLUS lists oil & gas as a main industry for its scotch yoke range.
Recommended KOSAPLUS products
- AD series scotch yoke actuators — high torque in a compact body for larger valves
- SIL 3 / SIL 4 certification — pneumatic actuators certified for safety shut-off duty
- C5M or epoxy coating — surface treatment for corrosive, offshore-type environments
- Explosion-proof position indicators (KLS2) — ATEX and IECEx certified open/closed feedback

Water Treatment
Filtration, dosing and distribution valves that cycle every day. KOSAPLUS lists water treatment for its scotch yoke, rack and pinion and electric ranges.
Recommended KOSAPLUS products
- RD series rack & pinion actuators — small, cost-effective automation for smaller valves
- AD series scotch yoke actuators — for larger butterfly valves on mains and filters
- KE series electric actuators — on/off or modulating (4–20 mA) control where there is no air supply
- Watertight electric version — for pits, chambers and wet areas
