Key Advantages and Common Types of Plug Valves

Key Advantages and Common Types of Plug Valves

In a significant stride forward in valve engineering, the plug valves have emerged as a groundbreaking solution, effortlessly opening or closing with just a 90-degree rotation, aligning or separating the flow passages on the plug and valve body. The plug in a plug valve can take the shape of a cylinder or a cone. In cylindrical plugs, the flow passage is typically rectangular, while in conical plugs, it adopts a trapezoidal form. These evolving shapes contribute to the lightweight structure of plug...

Differences Between Plug Valves and Ball Valves

Differences Between Plug Valves and Ball Valves

Plug Valve: The plug valve is an older type of valve that relies on the rotation of a plug around the valve body's central axis to achieve opening and closing. It is primarily used for cutting off, distributing, and changing the direction of the medium flow. Ball Valve: Evolving from plug valves, ball valves operate using a spherical ball as the closure component. These valves are versatile and commonly employed for applications requiring shut-off, distribution, and flow direction alteration....

Hard Seal Butterfly Valves: Characteristics, Advantages and Maintenance Guidelines

Hard Seal Butterfly Valves: Characteristics, Advantages and Maintenance Guidelines

Butterfly valves, based on their sealing states, are categorized into soft seal and hard seal variants. The commonly used soft seal includes fluorine-lined butterfly valves, while the hard seal category encompasses metal hard-seal disc valves. Hard seal butterfly valves refer to valves where both sides of the sealing pair consist of metal or other relatively hard materials. While hard-seal butterfly valves may exhibit inferior sealing performance, they boast high-temperature resistance, wear resistance,...
