Industrial valves are not only used in industry but also in residential and commercial buildings. The main task of industrial valves is flow control. This article is an overview of industrial valves and their types and applications. Join us and read this article.
A valve is a device or natural object that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. Valves are technically fittings, but are usually discussed as a separate category. In an open valve, fluid flows in a direction from higher pressure to lower pressure. The word is derived from the Latin valva, the moving part of a door, in turn from volvere, to turn, roll. Click here
Valves are mechanical devices that control the flow and pressure within a system or process. They are essential components of a piping system that conveys liquids, gases, vapors, slurries, etc. Outside the home, industrial valves are built to control processes. Most utilities, from water to oil and gas, wouldn’t be able to function without heavy-duty, industrial-strength valves. So now that you know the importance of industrial valves, let’s get to know their different types, features, and usability. Follow this new blog in Linquip to find out more.
The general structure of industrial valves consists of the following parts:
- Body
- Valve Member
- Seat
- Stem
- Bonnet
- Actuator
- Valve Trim
- Stem Packing
Types of industrial valves
- Strainer Valve
- Electronic Expansion
- Control Valves
- PVC Foot Valves
- Ball Valves
- Plug Valves
Ball Valves
A ball valve is a form of quarter-turn valve which uses a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control flow through it. It is open when the ball's hole is in line with the flow and closed when it is pivoted 90-degrees by the valve handle. The handle lies flat in alignment with the flow when open, and is perpendicular to it when closed, making for easy visual confirmation of the valve's status. The shut position 1/4 turn could be in either CW or CCW direction. Read more
