High temperature packing required for use in this region.

Notes: 1. Where the process fluid temperature is sub-zero and the ambient temperature is below +5 °C (+41 °F), the external moving parts of the valve and actuator must be heat traced to maintain normal operation. 2. When selecting a valve with a bellows scaled bonnet, the pressure/temperature limits of the bellows must be read in conjunction with the valve pressure/temperature limits shown in table below.
