VALVES EVERY OIL AND GAS ENGINEER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

Image
  Valves are crucial parts of any piping system application for the control and regulation of flow and pressure of materials—whether gas, oil, vapours or liquid. Though there are a lot of valves that every oil and gas engineer should understand and know about, we are listing the most common valve types applicable in the oil and gas industry and how they are deemed useful industry-wise. Ball valves : As  ball valves supplier , we recommend ball valves application-wise in a number of industry sectors including gases, air and liquid. Ball valves are mostly built to quickly turn on and turn off, feature tight-sealing having low torque. The only demerit to ball valves is that they characterize throttling properties. Made of several metals, the seats usually come from softer material including Teflon. The combination of these two materials enable the ball valve to work at a minimum temperature of -200 deg C and maximum temperature of 500 deg.C                                                 

Where are Butterfly Valves Used?

    Butterfly valves are similar to ball valves in terms of operation. They are both quarter-turn valves used to stop, regulate, start and throttle flow, you can use a butterfly valve for handling large volumes of fluid. There are different types of butterfly valves and each one is designated for a specific set of applications. For example, when we talk about its offset design, you will come to understand that each offset type is meant for different pressure settings. While you can use the triple offset high-performance butterfly valve for small vacuum pressure to high-pressure applications, zero offset valves are for the lowest pressure applications. When the butterfly valve is fully closed, the disk completely blocks the line. When the butterfly valve is fully opened, the disc is at a right angle to the flow of gas or liquid. Uses of Butterfly Valves : ·          For on/off service or start/stop flow control  – You can use any size of valve for this application. Also, this o

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FIRE SAFE VALVES

Fire Safe Valves are the valves that has the ability to maintain their pressure holding capacity during and after exposure to fire.   The reason for using this kind of valve we use is because of the higher possibility hazardous/flammable fluid getting leaked from the valves during an event of a fire. As opined by an expert  Valve Stockist in USA ,  if non-fire safe valves are used for a fluid that is flammable having a higher chance to be exposed to the pool of fire during an accident, then leakage will occur from the valve stem seal that already might have melt. Thus, as suggested a need for a fire-safe valve that doesn’t leak when exposed to fire is the need of the hour. Fire-safe valves work this way: There are actually two kinds of leak that is supposed to be avoided when a valve is exposed to a fire accident which leads to leakage from the stem and leakage from the seat. Owing to this there are two distinct methods to achieve a fire-safe design, as formulated by expert  Valve Manu
