Speaking of industrial valves, perhaps everyone is familiar with them, but do you know what you need to know when choosing industrial valves?

1. Valve type and size

First, we need to know what industry the valve we are purchasing is used for, such as oil extraction, hydropower stations, food, medicine, etc. Industrial valves are devices used to control the direction, pressure, and flow of fluids. For example, in water supply pipelines, globe valves are used to control water flow. For 16-inch pipelines, most of what is used are butterfly valves.

2. Materials

When choosing different materials, the first thing to consider is what medium it will pass through. For example, water, oil, natural gas, steam, etc. Different valves should be selected according to different media. For instance, valves made of copper alloy are usually chosen for oil and gas production. Plastic valves are generally better able to resist corrosion and chemical erosion than metal valves.

3. Performance requirements

For high-temperature and high-pressure industries, corresponding high-temperature and high-pressure valves should be selected.

4. Maintenance

Valves operating in industrial equipment must be regularly maintained. This is very important for the stability of valve use.

For example, ball valves can prevent blockages. However, at the same time, they are not suitable for regulating flow. When used to control flow, ball valves can lead to premature failure or leakage.
