Screwed control valve
Screwed Control Valve
A Screwed Control Valve is a precision valve designed for flow regulation and pressure control in small to medium-sized pipelines. It features screwed (threaded) end connections, making it easy to install and maintain in low to medium-pressure applications. These valves are widely used in oil & gas, HVAC, water treatment, and industrial fluid control systems.
Key Features
- Screwed (Threaded) End Connections – Provides easy installation and maintenance without welding.
- Precise Flow Regulation – Ensures accurate control over fluid pressure, temperature, and flow rate.
- Compact & Lightweight Design – Ideal for limited-space installations.
- Material Options – Available in stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, and alloy steel.
- Actuation Options – Can be operated manually, pneumatically, or electrically.
- Leak-Proof Sealing – Compatible with PTFE tape or sealing compounds for secure fitting.
Types of Screwed Control Valves
- Globe Control Valve – Offers precise throttling and pressure control.
- Ball Control Valve – Suitable for quick shut-off and flow modulation.
- Butterfly Control Valve – Ideal for lightweight and large-flow applications.
- Diaphragm Control Valve – Used for corrosive and sanitary applications.
- Angle Control Valve – Designed for high-pressure drop applications.
Applications
- Oil & Gas Industry – Used in fuel lines, lubrication systems, and process control.
- Chemical & Petrochemical Plants – Handles corrosive chemicals and steam.
- Water Treatment Plants – Regulates water flow and pressure.
- HVAC Systems – Controls chilled and hot water flow.
- Food & Beverage Industry – Ensures sanitary and controlled fluid flow.
Advantages of Screwed Control Valves
- Easy Installation – No need for welding, making it quick to install and replace.
- Compact & Cost-Effective – Suitable for small to medium flow applications.
- Leak-Proof Sealing – Ensures tight connections with proper sealing.
- Versatile Applications – Used in various industries for fluid and gas control.
Maintenance & Safety Tips
- Ensure Proper Thread Sealing – Use PTFE tape or pipe sealant to prevent leaks.
- Regular Inspection – Check for thread wear, corrosion, and pressure resistance.
- Proper Torque Application – Avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage.
- Clean & Lubricate Threads – Keeps the valve functioning smoothly over time.
