Industrial valves come in various types, each designed for specific applications and operational requirements. Here’s an overview of some common types of industrial valves:
1. Gate Valve SUPPLIERS AND EXPORTER IN UK
- Description: Uses a gate or wedge to control the flow. It operates by lifting the gate out of the path of the fluid.
- Applications: Suitable for on/off control with minimal pressure drop. Often used in pipelines where a straight line flow of fluid and minimum restriction is desired.
2. Globe Valve SUPPLIERS AND EXPORTER IN UK
- Description: Features a spherical body with a movable plug or disc. It is used to regulate flow by varying the size of the flow passage.
- Applications: Ideal for throttling or regulating flow. Commonly used in systems where precise flow control is needed.
3. Ball Valve SUPPLIERS AND EXPORTER IN UK
- Description: Uses a spherical ball with a hole through the middle to control flow. The ball rotates to open or close the valve.
- Applications: Provides quick on/off control with minimal pressure drop. Widely used in various industries for its durability and reliability.
4. Butterfly Valve SUPPLIERS AND EXPORTER IN UK
- Description: Features a rotating disc that opens or closes the flow path. The disc is mounted on a central shaft.
- Applications: Used for throttling and isolating applications. Common in large diameter pipelines due to its compact design.
5. Check Valve SUPPLIERS AND EXPORTER IN UK
- Description: Allows flow in one direction only, preventing backflow. It operates automatically based on the direction of the fluid.
- Applications: Prevents reverse flow and protects pumps and other equipment from damage.
6. Pressure Relief Valve SUPPLIERS AND EXPORTER IN UK
- Description: Automatically releases pressure when it exceeds a predetermined level to protect equipment from overpressure.
- Applications: Used in systems where pressure control is critical, such as in steam boilers and pressurized vessels.
7. Solenoid Valve SUPPLIERS AND EXPORTER IN UK
- Description: Operated electronically using a solenoid to control the valve’s open or closed position.
- Applications: Common in automated systems where precise control and remote operation are needed.
8. Proportional Valve SUPPLIERS AND EXPORTER IN UK
- Description: Provides variable control over the flow rate or pressure. It adjusts the flow according to the input signal.
- Applications: Used in systems requiring precise control of flow and pressure.
9. Diaphragm Valve SUPPLIERS AND EXPORTER IN UK
- Description: Uses a flexible diaphragm to control the flow. The diaphragm moves up and down to open or close the valve.
- Applications: Suitable for handling corrosive or abrasive fluids. Often used in pharmaceutical and food industries.
10. Pinch Valve SUPPLIERS AND EXPORTER IN UK
- Description: Utilizes a flexible tube or sleeve that is pinched to control flow. The valve is operated by an external mechanism that compresses the tube.
- Applications: Ideal for handling slurries and granular materials.
11. Control Valve SUPPLIERS AND EXPORTER IN UK
- Description: Regulates flow, pressure, or temperature using an actuator and control system. Often includes positioners and feedback mechanisms.
- Applications: Used in automated systems for precise control of process parameters.
12. Swing Check Valve SUPPLIERS AND EXPORTER IN UK
- Description: Uses a disc that swings on a hinge to allow or block flow. The disc swings open to permit flow and swings back to prevent backflow.
- Applications: Suitable for preventing backflow in horizontal pipelines.
13. Lift Check Valve SUPPLIERS AND EXPORTER IN UK
- Description: Utilizes a disc that lifts off its seat to allow flow and falls back to block flow. It operates vertically.
- Applications: Used in high-pressure and high-velocity applications.
