How To Choose Industrial Grade Valves?

Industrial valves are an indispensable part of the industrial production process. Their function is to control the flow, pressure and flow direction of fluids. The correct selection of appropriate valves can improve industrial production efficiency, reduce production costs, and ensure production safety. This guide will introduce the types, selection principles, precautions, etc. of industrial valves to help readers better choose valves suitable for their own use.

Types of industrial valves

1.Shut-off valve:

  Shut-off valve is a commonly used valve used to control the flow and pressure of fluids. It is often used in liquid and gas pipelines.

2. Ball valve: 

  The ball valve is a rotary valve that is widely used in gas and liquid pipelines. It can be opened and closed quickly and has good sealing performance.

3. Butterfly valve: 

The butterfly valve is a rotary valve with a simple structure and small volume. It is suitable for pipelines with large flow media.

4. Gate valve: 

Gate valve is mainly used to cut off and regulate the medium in pipelines. The valve has a relatively simple structure and good sealing performance.

5. Check valve: 

Check valve is used to prevent the backflow of media. It has a simple structure and is easy to use. It is widely used in water treatment, pharmaceutical and other fields.

 Selection principles of industrial valves

1.Select according to the properties of the medium, such as pressure, temperature, flow rate, viscosity, corrosiveness and other factors of the medium.

2. Choose according to the use occasion of the valve, such as whether it needs to be normally open, normally closed or needs frequent switching; whether the use environment is indoor or outdoor

3. Select according to the size of the pipe, such as pipe diameter, wall thickness, etc.

4. Select according to the structure and materials of the valve, such as the valve's sealing performance, corrosion resistance, resistance, etc.

5. Choose based on service life and maintenance costs, such as valve life, ease of maintenance, etc.

Precautions for industrial valves

1. Inspection should be carried out before use to ensure that the sealing performance and operating performance of the valve are good.

2. Pay attention to the opening and closing status of the valve during use to avoid pipeline leakage or other accidents.

3. Carry out regular maintenance, such as cleaning, lubrication, replacement of seals, etc., to ensure the normal operation and service life of the valve.

4. Choose valves produced by regular manufacturers to ensure product quality and after-sales service.

In short, the correct selection of industrial valves is crucial to the safety and efficiency of the industrial production process. I hope this guide can help readers better choose the valves suitable for their own use.
