An overview of 4 Industrial Valve Types and Applications

14 Jan.,2025

 

The gate valve was commonly known as an isolation valve or an on/off valve for decades. Due to their simplicity, they are relatively cost-effective and require fewer parts than other valve types. It is, however, difficult to control them precisely due to their design. The water industry is the most prevalent user of gate valves.

Butterfly valves are another type of isolation valve which allow large volumes of material to flow through a channel although they offer little control in terms of flow rate. When they open, paddles barely obstruct the flow because they can be positioned parallel to it. A butterfly valve can be controlled via remote actuators more easily than a gate valve, but they are generally only useful at large volumes.

Several developments have been made in the ball valve market in recent years, such as segmented ball valves that allow greater control over flow rates. Due to these advantages, modern ball valves have a great deal to offer: they are precise, either manually or electronically, and they are capable of handling much higher volumes than globe valves.

Regardless of the type of valve produced, the manufacturing process involves several steps. Cast valve bodies and their inner parts are durable because they can be made of many different components.

To finish valve bodies, all areas where threads will connect to other valve parts or to upstream and downstream pipes must be machined.

A variety of methods can be used to produce inner components. In order to produce the most precise, smooth, and spherical surface, the ball of a ball valve is often machined.
