The Rising Demand For Industrial Valves

Over the past few years, the demand for industrial valves has increased exponentially, thanks to the aggressive industrialisation and expansion of industrial facilities worldwide. We can confidently state that there are no industrial setups without valves. These quintessential mechanical parts control various industrial processes such as gases, liquids, slurries, oils, or chemicals.

Valves are also used to control the flow of these materials through the huge maze of pipelines. They can completely stop the flow or allow partial flow by partially obstructing the pipe. All valves have a pneumatic device that works as per the instructions given by the controller. Industries that are extremely cautious about using high-quality valves do not skimp on allocating a substantial amount for industrial valves.

Industrial valve manufacturers design and fabricate many different types of valves that are suitable for various industries. Let's explore what they are.

Types and features of industrial valves produced by valve manufacturers

Gate Valves

Gate valves are installed to control the flow of hot or cold liquid through the pipes. Manufactured from high-quality steel or cast iron, gate valves are extra durable, sturdy, and stable as they have to halt or start the flow of liquid at varying temperatures. Here are some interesting features about gate valves:

Globe valves

Globe valves can be identified by their unique S-shaped channel and a horizontally-oriented valve member that controls the flow of liquids or gases. Their function is very similar to gate valves, but they can control the flow more accurately. The interesting features of the globe valve are:

It is designed to fit interchangeable inner parts so the central orifice can be bigger or smaller, depending on the industrial need.
It is far more leak proof than other valves.
The biggest drawback is their extremely high-pressure loss, which forces the user to shut it down when the pressure is dangerously high.

Ball Valves

The main part of a ball valve is a perforated ball-like interference that controls the flow of fluids and other substances. The ball is enclosed in a metal valve casing, and the perforations come in alignment with the channel as the outer valve turns it. The latest kind of ball valve is the segmented ball valve which allows greater control over flow rates. The other features are:

Ball valves can be precisely controlled manually or electrically.
They allow better flow with better control.
As ball valves have leak proof sealing, they are widely used in industries that deal with gases.
They are easy to operate, repair, and they support high pressures and temperatures.
The inner ball is designed to be durable, and it does not erode easily.

Butterfly valves

The butterfly valve is characterised by a flap or hinge attached in the middle of the pipe through which the substance flows. When the valve is closed, the hinge will perfectly fit into the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Butterfly valves are mostly used in large volume industrial settings. Here's more information about these valves:

They are designed to function electronically, manually or pneumatically.
They are widely used in carburettors and hydroelectric plants.
They are easy to install and maintain, and their functioning is very reliable and accurate.

Valve manufacturing is a process that takes several steps because each valve has many parts that need to be produced and assembled. Almost all industries use valves to control substance flow through a system. They are used in :

Oil and gas industries.
Food and beverage manufacturing units.
Nuclear reactors.
Marine industry.
Domestic use to control water flow.
