Threaded control valve
Threaded Control Valve
A Threaded Control Valve is a compact and efficient valve used for precise flow regulation in pipelines with threaded end connections. These valves are commonly used in HVAC systems, industrial automation, oil & gas, chemical processing, and water treatment due to their easy installation and reliable performance.
Key Features
- Threaded End Connections – Available in NPT, BSP, and BSPT standards for secure fitting.
- Compact Design – Ideal for small pipelines and confined spaces.
- Precise Flow Control – Provides accurate regulation of pressure and fluid flow.
- Wide Material Availability – Made from stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, and alloy steel.
- Multiple Actuation Options – Can be manual, pneumatic, or electric actuated.
- Leak-Proof Sealing – Ensures tight shut-off and minimal leakage.
Types of Threaded Control Valves
- Globe Control Valve – Offers precise throttling and flow control.
- Ball Control Valve – Provides quick shut-off with minimal pressure drop.
- Needle Control Valve – Best for fine-tuning flow in small pipelines.
- Angle Control Valve – Designed for high-pressure drop applications.
- Piston Control Valve – Suitable for hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
Applications
- Oil & Gas Industry – Used in fuel, gas, and lubrication systems.
- Chemical & Petrochemical Plants – Controls corrosive and high-pressure fluids.
- Water Treatment Plants – Regulates fluid pressure and distribution.
- HVAC Systems – Ensures temperature and pressure control in heating/cooling units.
- Food & Beverage Industry – Used in sanitary piping systems.
- Pharmaceutical Industry – Controls liquid and gas flow in sterile environments.
Maintenance & Safety Tips
- Thread Sealing – Use Teflon tape or thread sealant to prevent leakage.
- Regular Inspection – Check for wear, corrosion, and proper operation.
- Proper Installation – Ensure tight and aligned threading to avoid leaks.
- Actuator Maintenance – Test pneumatic or electric actuators periodically.
- Cleaning & Lubrication – Keeps the valve free from debris and friction damage.
