With the development of Science and technology, the valve industry began to rise. Also, different areas use different valves. In this article, we’ll share what valves are used in the top 10 industries.
1. Valves for Petroleum Installations
(1) Most of the valves used in refineries are pipeline valves, which are mainly gate valves, globe valves, check valves, safety valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, steam traps, among which gate valves account for about 80% of the total number of valves.
(2) Chemical fiber equipment, chemical fiber products mainly polyester, acrylic, vinylon three categories. The Ball Valve and jacketed valve (jacketed ball valve, jacketed gate valve and jacketed globe valve) of the valve are required.
(3) Propylene clearing plant. The device generally needs to use standard production of valves, mainly for the gate valve, globe valve, check valve, ball valve, trap, needle-shaped globe valve, plug valve, which gate valve accounted for about 75% of the total valve.
(4) Ammonia plant. Because the synthetic ammonia and the purification method are different, its technological process is different, the required valve technical function is also different. At present, the offshore ammonia plant mainly uses gate valve, globe valve, check valve, trap valve, butterfly valve, ball valve, diaphragm valve, regulating valve, needle valve, safety valve, high temperature and low-temperature valve.
All the valves are available in electrically operated type, pneumatically operated type and manual operated type.
2. Utility Valves For Hydropower Stations
The construction of power stations in our country is developing towards large scale, so large diameter and high pressure safety valves, pressure reducing valves, globe valves, gate valves, butterfly valves, emergency stop valves and flow control valves.
3. Metallurgical Application Valve
In the metallurgical industry alumina behavior mainly needs to use the wear-resisting slurry valve (in the flow type globe valve), the Regulation Steam Trap Valve. Steel-making industry needs metal sealing ball Valve, butterfly valve and oxidation ball valve, globe valve and four-way reversing valve.
4. Marine Application Valve
With the development of offshore oil production, the number of valves required for marine horizontal development is increasing. Shut-off ball valve, check valve and multi-way valve are needed for offshore platform.
5. Food Medicine Application Valve
Food grade valve is the mainly used valve in this food industry. Like food grade motorized ball valve, food grade pneumatic butterfly valve, sanitary solenoid valve, stainless steel ball valve and non-toxic plastic Ball Valve.
6. Rural, Urban Building Application Valves
Urban construction department with the general use of low-pressure valves, are currently developing towards environmental protection and energy-saving direction. Environmental-friendly rubber plate valve, balance valve and mid-line butterfly valve, metal sealing butterfly valve is gradually replacing low-pressure iron gate valve. Most of the valves used in city buildings in the sea are balance valves, soft-seal gate valves, butterfly Valves, etc.
7. Rural and Urban Heating Valves
In urban heating systems, a large number of metal sealing butterfly valves, horizontal balance valves and direct-buried ball valves are needed to solve the problem of vertical and horizontal hydraulic maladjustment of pipelines to achieve energy-saving, heat balance of the purpose.
8. Environmental Protection Application Valve
In the offshore environmental protection system, the water supply system mainly uses the middle line butterfly valve, the soft Seal Gate Valve, the ball valve, the exhaust valve (uses in the discharge pipeline air) . The sewage treatment system mainly needs the soft seal gate Valve and butterfly valve.
9. Gas Valves
City gas accounted for the entire natural market of 22% , the use of large valves, its type is also many. Ball Valve, plug valve, pressure reducing valve and safety valve are needed.
10. Pipeline Application Valve
Long-distance pipeline mainly for crude oil, finished products and natural pipeline. This type of pipeline needs the majority of the valve is forged steel three-body full-bore Ball Valve, anti-sulfur Flat Gate Valve, safety Valve, check valve.
