Pragmaticus offers a wide range of valves for industrial applications. The valves are easy and economical way to control and check the flows. No doubt, a valve is more than just an industrial device for turning on and shutting off the flows of fluids and gases.
There are two general groups: stop and check valves (so-called basic valves’ types). Besides, more complicated industrial valves for special, sometimes unique application are also made. All existing valves can’t be classified as easy as “stop” and “check” types as well as all industrial requirements can’t be divided into two groups only.
Wide valves’ range is used to control the fluids pressure (known in industrial sphere as high pressure valves or pressure-control valves). Other valves have the names that indicate their general function: energy valves; butterfly valves for water systems; recirculating valves and many others.
It can seem simple, but do you know that industry may lose millions annually because of improper valve selection? But millions loses is not only one negative consequences. Improper valve selection can become a reason of valve failures, and as a result infringement of system fluids work, unsafe workplace conditions for personal or environmental damage.
How to select the valve you need confidently? How to find appropriate valve that will install easily, perform safely and reliably, and offer the lowest maintenance and overall cost in technical process?
Before valves searching and selection you should determinate 3 main points about your industry requirements.
Point number one is company’s specific. Food and beverage industry means sanitary conditions. Water treatment system requires stainless steel using in order to extend valve life cycle.
Point number two is a type of flow, i.e. which type of flow will the system carry, gas or liquid; viscous or thin fluid? As an example, more viscous fluids reduce system flow and leakage. Speaking about gases, it’s necessary to say, than some gases, such as hydrogen and methane, present significant ignition hazards, and even the smallest leak to the atmosphere can be catastrophic. It means that the valves’ safety play a crucial role in all industrial process. Corrosive gases or liquids can damage valves’ components. Is it necessary to speak about toxic gas threats?
Point number three is system operating conditions. It can be temperature or pressure. That’s why industrial valves are classified as high- or low-temperature applications and high- or low-pressure conditions. Depending on these factors manufacture choose component materials carefully.
Do not hesitate ask manufacture about every details you may need in order to make right choice. Learn more about different valves and different characteristics. Ask valves manufacturer the questions with reference to your branch.
