Process Valves

Control and process valves play an indispensable role in the functioning of industries in many sectors. They must be able to maintain process variables such as fluid temperature, pressure flow, and fluid level at desired set points with precision and reliability, making them central components of a wide range of industries such as oil and gas, water management, chemicals, power generation, automotive, mining, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage.

Not only do these valves help protect employees from dangerous conditions such as explosions or flooding by keeping extreme temperatures or pressures from occurring but also enable precise control over systems to ensure safe operation. Without process variable control with valves, these industries could not be maintained efficiently without serious risk.

Process Valves in Industrial Applications

Process valves play a crucial role in industrial applications by regulating the flow of liquids, gases, and other substances within a system. These valves are designed for precise control over process parameters such as pressure, temperature, and flow rate, ensuring safe and efficient operation. Process valves are commonly used in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage production, where maintaining strict quality and safety standards is essential. It’s important to note process valves are different to pneumatic valves.

Process valves

Solenoid valves

These electro-mechanical valves are commonly used to control the flow of liquid or gas. The main types of solenoid valves are direct-acting and pilot-operated valves.

Angle seat valves

Perfect to use where high temperatures and large flow rates, angle seat valves are required in steam and water.

Globe valves

Globe valves start, stop and regulate flow, pressure drop and are used as pressure relief valves. This valve can stand higher pressure loss in the fully open position.

Butterfly valves

Butterfly valves are highly advantageous as they’re lightweight, compact, and cost-effective. They’re excellent to use thanks to their pressure control and provide a much faster opening and closing action.

Ball valves

Ball valves are designed with a solid metal ball with a hole bored through its centre, the valve is composed of two seats that sandwich the metal ball when closed, making it suitable for various applications including throttling gases and vapours, particularly in low-flow situations where precision is essential.

Pinch valves

Pinch valves are essential to obstruct the flow of media. For this reason, pinch valves are used in several industries such as food and beverage, cement, wastewater, and more.

Actuators for sale

Actuators are essential components of machines, as they are the only means by which they can move and control systems. Thanks to actuators, complex and precise sequences of actions can be generated that allow for high automation levels in process control and production scheduling.

Process controllers

Maintain the output of process variables with process controllers. These controllers process temperatures, pressure, and flow.
