The valve is mainly used to control the flow of fluids (including gas and liquid) to ensure that the fluid can be transmitted or processed in accordance with the predetermined direction, pressure and flow rate. They are essential and critical components in many industries. The following are some of the main application areas of valves:
Petrochemical industry: This is one of the largest users of valves, covering refineries, chemical manufacturing plants and other places, where a wide variety of valves are used, including but not limited to gate valves, ball valves, globe valves, etc.
Power industry: including thermal power plants, nuclear power plants and hydroelectric power plants, these facilities require high pressure and high temperature valves to control steam and other fluids.
Metallurgy: Steel mills and other metalworking facilities use valves to control the flow of cooling water, lubricants, and other process fluids.
Chemical industry: Chemical plants need a variety of valves to handle corrosive media, toxic substances and high temperature and pressure environments.
Urban construction: Urban water supply, drainage systems, and natural gas distribution networks require valves to control water flow and airflow.
Other industries: Also includes pharmaceutical, food processing, paper, textile and other fields, these industries also need specific types of valves to meet their specific needs.
Offshore engineering: With the expansion of oil exploration activities into offshore fields, the demand for subsea valves is also increasing.
Environmental protection and energy saving: With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, some valves specially designed for energy saving and emission reduction are becoming more and more important, such as steam traps.
Building and HVAC: In building and HVAC systems, valves are used to control the flow of water and air, ensuring comfort and saving energy.
The selection and use of valves usually depends on the specific application requirements, such as pressure, temperature range, fluid characteristics and other factors.
