INDUSTRIAL GLOBE,GATE,CHECK,BALL,BUTTERFLY, KNIFE

Product Details:

Globe valves are used widely especially for service purposes at all industrial plants, water, steam and oil lines. Not recommended for fluids carrying mud, solid particles and grains. The pressure/temperature ratings, shocks/vibrations and corrosion of the flowing fluid are to be considered during selection of valve.

Product Details:

A ball valve is a flow control device which uses a hollow, perforated and pivoting ball to control fluid flowing through it. It is open when the ball's hole is in line with the flow inlet and closed when it is pivoted 90-degrees by the valve handle, blocking the flow.^[1] The handle lies flat in alignment with the flow when open, and is perpendicular to it when closed, making for easy visual confirmation of the valve's status.^[2] The shut position 1/4 turn could be in either clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.

Ball valves are durable, performing well after many cycles, and reliable, closing securely even after long periods of disuse. These qualities make them an excellent choice for shutoff and control applications, where they are often preferred to gates and globe valves, but they lack the fine control of those alternatives, in throttling applications.

The ball valve's ease of operation, repair, and versatility lend it to extensive industrial use, supporting pressures up to 1,000 bar (100 MPa; 15,000 psi) and temperatures up to 752 °F (400 °C), depending on design and materials used. Sizes typically range from 0.2 to 48 inches (5.1 to 1,219.2 mm). Valve bodies are made of metal, plastic, or metal with a ceramic; floating balls are often chrome plated for durability. One disadvantage of a ball valve is that when used for controlling water flow, they trap water in the center cavity while in the closed position. In the event of ambient temperatures falling below freezing point, the sides can crack due to the expansion associated with ice formation.^[3] Some means of insulation or heat tape in this situation will usually prevent damage. Another option for cold climates is the "freeze tolerant ball valve". This style of ball valve incorporates a freeze plug in the side so in the event of a freeze-up, the freeze plug ruptures, acting as a 'sacrificial' fail point, allowing an easier repair. Instead of replacing the whole valve, all that is required is the fitting of a new freeze plug.^[4]

In the case that a ball valve is used for cryogenics or product that may expand inside of the ball, there is a vent drilled into the upstream side of the valve. This is referred to as a vented ball.

A ball valve should not be confused with a "ball-check valve", a type of check valve that uses a solid ball to prevent undesired backflow.

Other types of quarter-turn valves include the butterfly valve and plug valve and freeze proof ball valve.

Product Details:

Industrial GKL series valves are designed to meet the demanding requirements of the general utility valve market with the HVAC segment in particular. IVGKL is a truly fit & forget valve, which requires minimal maintenance.

The body liner which also functions as the soft seat, comes in an integrally molded (bonded) version and offers 100% bi-directional sealing. The wafer style body has universal design to fit between pipe flanges of almost all popular flange standards.

Product Details:

Gate valve to DIN/EN with flanged ends (AKG-A) or butt weld ends (AKGS-A), pressure seal design, body of forged or welded construction, non-rotating stem, split wedge with flexibly mounted discs for precise alignment with the body seats. Seat/disc interface made of wear and corrosion resistant 17 % chrome steel or Stellite.

Product Details:

Knife gate valves are similar in design to gate valves and were initially developed for use in the pulp and paper industry. As the name implies, these valves can cut through thick, porous media that may contain a high concentration of suspended solids (such as dense, sewage sludge) which had caused problems with valves not seating completely and thus leaking.

A knife gate valve works by lifting a plate with a planar or “knife” edge from the path of flow that can literally cut through various impediments during closing thereby creating complete closure against a soft sealing surface. This soft sealing surface generally dictates use in rather low-pressure systems and is not designed to handle high pressure. Both gate and knife gate valves are primarily designed for isolation or on/off service rather than a throttled or partial-flow application.
