Zusammenfassung:A gate valve operator having dual pistons, one having pilot pressure acting thereagainst thereby tending to open the valve, and one having line pressure acting thereagainst tending to close the valve. The line pressure piston's pressure surface area may be varied to compensate for wells having depleted pressure, and line pressure at all times tends to close the valve, i.e., the actuator is unbalanced.
