What Are The Types Of Industrial Valves?

Sanitary Valve refers to valves designed for use in various industrial process control systems. They are used to control the flow of fluids, including opening, closing, regulating flow, preventing backflow and other functions. So do you know what types of industrial-grade valves are there?

The types of industrial-grade valves are as follows:

Globe Valve: Used to cut off or control the flow of fluids, suitable for occasions where flow regulation is required.

Ball Valve: Controls the switch of fluids by rotating the sphere, has the characteristics of fast opening and closing, and is suitable for occasions with frequent operations.

Butterfly Valve: Controls the flow of fluids by rotating the disc, has a compact structure, and is suitable for large-diameter pipelines.

Gate Valve: Controls the switch of fluids by lifting or lowering the gate, mainly used for full-open or full-close operations, not suitable for flow regulation.

Control Valve: Used to control the flow, pressure, temperature and other parameters of fluids, usually used in conjunction with automatic control systems.

Plug Valve: Controls the fluid switch by rotating a cylindrical or conical plug, suitable for occasions that require good sealing.

Diaphragm Valve: Controls the fluid by moving the diaphragm up and down, suitable for fluids with high viscosity and granular matter.

Check Valve: Used to prevent fluid backflow and ensure one-way flow of fluid.

Safety Valve: Used to protect the system from overpressure, automatically opens to release pressure when the pressure exceeds the set value.
Industrial-grade valves are widely used in petroleum, chemical, electric power, metallurgy, pharmaceutical, food processing, water treatment and other industries.
