Globe valves are common piping components in a huge range of industrial settings. Their time-tested design makes them well-suited for throttling and frequent on/off flow control. But all valves eventually require maintenance or repairs. Let’s walk through the complete process of new globe valv...

What are some factors to consider when selecting the Y strainer? There are several things to keep in mind when purchasing this specialized piece of equipment. Having the proper mesh size is important as it can prevent excess pressure drop and premature failure of mechanical components. A good strain...

Ball valves are made of different materials, including brass, bronze, stainless steel, etc. Out of all types of ball valves, the bronze ball valve is mostly used for commercial applications. It is a ball valve with a full threaded end, which means that the end will not fit through a standard pipe. A...

The offset butterfly valve is a quarter-family design that employs three offsets, the first being in the centerline of the valve body and the second offset positioned on the outside of the valve. This configuration enables the disc seat to close and open with minimal friction.  This reduces the...

Pressure seal gete valves are designed to provide compact design and ease of maintenance in high-pressure service. These valves are a type of valve used in power generation, pulp and paper, and refineries. Pressure seal valves were first developed in the early 1900s. They were initially conceived to...

A bellow gate valve is a type of valve used to regulate the flow of liquid or gas in pipelines. It is a valve that is similar to a vertical diaphragm. However, it has an additional sealing structure. This type of valve is used to prevent the leakage of toxic chemicals into the environment. Bellows g...

Threaded Gate Valves are a type of valve that can be found in a variety of applications. They are used in many different types of fluids and can be used for high-pressure, low-pressure, and even straight flow. Nevertheless, it is important to make sure that you choose the right threaded gate valve f...

When installing or replacing a business valve, it’s essential to understand the fundamental differences between plug and ball valves. Both types of valves require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance, but plug valves require less upkeep due to fewer moving parts and simpler constr...

Socket weld and butt weld are two distinct welding techniques used to connect pipes together. Although both methods of joining pipes are popular, there are some key distinctions between them. Socket welds can be stronger than butt welded joints in some instances, as well as having better durability...

What are Electric Actuator Gate Valves Electric actuator gate valves are crucial components in various industries, offering reliable and efficient control of fluid flow. These valves play a vital role in regulating the movement of liquids or gases through pipelines, allowing for isolation or diversi...

Gate valves and stop valves are two commonly used types of valves in piping systems. But they differ significantly in many respects from each other. Gate valves and stop valves are two popular home-use types of valves. But, there are many differences between them that may make it hard to decide whic...

Stainless steel globe valves are a type of valve that is used to control the flow of fluid in a pipe. They are a versatile type of valve that can be used in a variety of applications, including water, gas, and oil. Types of Stainless Steel Globe ValvesThere are two main types of stainless steel glob...
