A type of valve used in industrial applications to control the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) within a piping system. It consists of a cylindrical or conical plug with a hole in it (the port) that can be rotated within the valve body to either allow or restrict the flow of fluid through the valve.
Industrial plug valves offer advantages such as low torque operation, minimal pressure drop when fully open, and suitability for handling a wide range of fluids and pressures. However, they may have limitations in terms of throttling capabilities and susceptibility to wear in abrasive or corrosive environments. Proper selection, installation, and maintenance are essential for optimal performance and longevity of industrial plug valves.
The typical plug valve design has several key parts that work together to create a robust and reliable valve suitable for various industrial applications. Depending on the specific application, the plug valve may have additional features, such as seals and gaskets, to improve leak resistance.
Besides being compact and using up less space, gas plug valves offer the following advantages:
A few disadvantages of plug valves are:
