Industrial valves are used across all industries and form the backbone of all piping systems and networks for controlling flow. There is a huge reliance on mechanical industrial valves for everyday operations across many sectors. Since they do not rely on external power, they are essential safety components preventing backflow, siphonage, air accumulation or for isolating systems during breakdown or maintenance.
Isolation Valve
Isolation valves are used in fluid handling systems that stop the flow of process fluid to a given place for maintenance, breakdown or diverting flow. Different types of isolating valves have different opening and closing mechanisms.
Ball valves use a rotary ball design as the main component of the valve. Butterfly valves are designed with a disc that rotates to close perpendicular to the flow. Gates valves open and close with a gate wedge perpendicular to the flow direction. Pinch valves use a rubber sleeve to pinch close either by the application of fluid pressure or mechanically in the body.
