Our Valve Product Range Includes:

Industrial valves come in a wide range of types, each designed for specific functions in various industrial applications. Here’s an overview of some of the most common types of industrial valves:

1. Gate Valve

• Function: Primarily used for starting or stopping flow in pipelines.

• Operation: The valve uses a wedge-shaped gate that moves up and down to control the flow.

• Common Uses: Waterworks, oil and gas pipelines, and sewage treatment.

2. Globe Valve

• Function: Used for regulating flow, not just turning it on or off.

• Operation: The valve features a spherical body with an internal baffle that controls the flow of liquid.

• Common Uses: Systems requiring flow regulation, such as heating and cooling systems.

3. Ball Valve

• Function: Provides quick shutoff and precise control of flow.

• Operation: A ball with a hole in it rotates within the valve body to allow or block the flow of fluid.

• Common Uses: Oil, gas, water, and air systems.

4. Check Valve

• Function: Prevents backflow in a system, ensuring that fluid flows in one direction only.

• Operation: A spring-loaded disc or flap opens with the flow and closes when it reverses to prevent backflow.

• Common Uses: Pumps, drainage systems, and fluid systems.

5. Pressure Relief Valve

• Function: Protects a system from pressure buildup by diverting excess pressure.

• Operation: Opens automatically when the pressure exceeds a set limit, releasing fluid until the pressure is normalized.

• Common Uses: Boilers, water systems, and industrial process systems.

6. Ball Valve

• Function: Provides fast shut-off and is ideal for on/off control applications.

• Operation: A hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball controls the flow.

• Common Uses: Gas, water, and steam applications.

7. Butterfly Valve

• Function: Controls or isolates flow in a pipeline.

• Operation: A rotating disc inside the valve body either allows or stops the flow when the valve is opened or closed.

• Common Uses: Water, wastewater treatment, and HVAC systems.

8. Plug Valve

• Function: Controls the flow of fluid by rotating a tapered plug inside the valve body.

• Operation: The plug’s hole lines up with the inlet/outlet ports to allow or block flow.

• Common Uses: Fuel systems, gas pipelines, and slurry transport.

9. Diaphragm Valve

• Function: Used for handling aggressive fluids or slurries.

• Operation: A flexible diaphragm is used to seal and control the flow of fluid.

• Common Uses: Pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries, and corrosive chemical handling.

10. Needle Valve

• Function: Used for precise flow control, especially in small-flow systems.

• Operation: A needle-like plunger adjusts the flow rate through a small orifice.

• Common Uses: Laboratory applications, fuel systems, and hydraulics.

11. Relief Valve

• Function: Automatically releases pressure from the system to prevent overpressure.

• Operation: Opens when the system pressure exceeds a preset value, releasing the excess fluid.

• Common Uses: Pressure vessels, boilers, and water systems.

12. Safety Valve

• Function: Protects equipment by releasing excess pressure to prevent system failure.

• Operation: Designed to open automatically when the pressure exceeds a predetermined value.

• Common Uses: Steam, gas, and fluid systems.

13. Strainer Valve

• Function: Filters out debris and particles from fluids to protect the downstream equipment.

• Operation: Uses a mesh or perforated screen to filter out solids.

• Common Uses: Pump protection, cooling systems, and chemical processing.

14. Control Valve

• Function: Regulates fluid flow, pressure, and temperature in process control systems.

• Operation: Automated, controlled by an actuator to respond to signals from control systems.

• Common Uses: Chemical processing, HVAC, and fluid handling systems.

15. Cryogenic Valve

• Function: Designed to control fluids at very low temperatures (cryogenic conditions).

• Operation: Features specialized sealing mechanisms to handle extreme temperatures without leakage.

• Common Uses: Liquid natural gas (LNG) facilities and low-temperature storage.

Each of these valve types serves a different purpose depending on the nature of the application, fluid type, and required control, ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency in industrial operations.
