Applications of industrial valves

Industrial valves are key components in fluid control systems and are widely used in fields such as petrochemicals, power, water treatment, and metallurgy. According to the differences in structure, function and driving mode, the types and names also vary. For instance, classified by structural features, they can be divided into gate valves, globe valves (plug type), ball valves, butterfly valves, etc. According to the driving mode, it includes types where the actuator is driven by other power sources such as manual, electric, pneumatic and hydraulic to complete the switching action.

When selecting industrial valves, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the characteristics of the medium (temperature, pressure, corrosiveness), working conditions (regulation/shut-off), installation space and cost. For example, low-temperature ball valves are mostly selected for liquefaction transportation, while stop valves or gate valves are required for high-temperature steam systems.

The rational application of industrial valves can significantly enhance the safety, energy efficiency and economy of the system, and they are indispensable components in process industries.

Viti Industries is a German valve manufacturer that has been engaged in the production of a full range of valve products represented by automatic control regulating valves. These products are mainly applied in harsh working conditions such as high pressure, high temperature, easy erosion and corrosion. W&T has new engineering personnel and production equipment to develop and produce valves according to customer requirements. There are performance projects in all important industrial fields, and cooperation is carried out with universities and relevant institutions in the fields of material development, fluid engineering thermodynamics, design and production.
