A valve which requires pressurised air to operate (open or close) is known as pneumatic valve. A valve has a valve base through which the media (could be be air, liquid, steam, gas...) flows and a actuator mounted on the base which helps operate the valve. This actuator could be of pneumatic type. (or elctrically operated motorised type)

A Bistable Pneumatic Valve is typically a pilot valve that is a 3 ported 2 position detented valve. The valve retains is position during loss of power. this can be accomplished with a mechanical detent and 2 solenoids or a :mangna lath magnetic latch with a polarity sensitive coil. Positive opens and negative closes or vice versa.

Pneumatic control valve operate by instrument air?

Pneumatic control valves operate using instrument air to regulate the flow of fluids within a system. The valve's actuator receives compressed air, which moves the valve stem to open or close the valve as needed. This allows for precise control of fluid flow and pressure in various applications, such as process control in industries. The use of pneumatic control enhances response times and allows for remote operation of the valves.
