Common Industrial Applications Where a Gate Valve Performs Best
A gate valve uses a vertical moving wedge or gate to block or allow flow inside a pipeline. This mechanism moves the gate up to open or moves it down to close the flow path. It is mainly used where full unobstructed bore is required. When fully open, the flow path remains straight without major […]
What Makes a Ball Valve a Reliable Choice for Process Control Systems?
A ball valve is commonly selected in process control systems due to its simple rotational operation and capacity to offer shut off with very low flow resistance. This valve uses a spherical ball with a bore through the center. When this bore aligns with the pipeline, fluid passes through freely. When rotated ninety degrees, the […]
A Detailed Overview of How a Butterfly Valve Works in Industrial Applications
A butterfly valve is widely used in industrial pipelines to control the movement of liquids, gases or semi-solid media. It uses a circular disc placed in the centre of the pipeline and this disc rotates on a vertical or horizontal axis. When the disc is turned parallel to the flow direction, the media moves through […]
