Control valve for a process plant

Control valve (10) for a process plant, comprising an actuator (16) which is connected to, and spaced from, a valve body (12) of a valve unit (11) via a yoke (14), the valve body (12) having a housing flange (32) that is detachably connected to the yoke (14), the valve body (12) having an inlet (20) and an outlet (22) for the flow of a process fluid therethrough, the inlet (20) and the outlet (22) each being located in a fluid connection region (18, 19), and wherein in the passage (24) from the inlet (20) to the outlet (22) an actuating member adapted to be displaced by the actuator (16) is arranged for controlling the flow rate of the process fluid, characterized in that the housing flange (32) connected to the yoke (14) has at least one recess (44) and a yoke fastening region (33), the yoke fastening region (33) being designed as a bolt hole circle (34) with radially arranged connecting holes (36).
