Tips For Choosing A Valve


Choosing a valve isn’t an easy job. Since they do an important job of controlling gas and liquid flow in virtually all processes and systems, it is essential to know which valve is the right one for you. Start off by educating yourself first on system performance requirements. This can make it easier for you to find the right valve. Below are some tips for you to purchase a valve as per your system requirements.

Keep The Valve Size & Type In Mind

Purchase a valve keeping in mind the function it is required to perform: mix flow, adjust flow, shut off flow, pressure relief, etc. A valve design is dependent upon the function it is made to perform. Valve types include IH relief valve, ball valve, metering valve, pinch valve, check valve, etc. Keep in mind the size of the valve regardless of its type so that it can work with the expected flow through the system.




Know The Valve’s Material

It is essential to know that the valve’s material and the gases or liquids that moves through it are compatible with one another. It has been observed that plastic valves are better than metal valves at resisting corrosive chemicals.

Know The Kind Of Performance You Want

You need to know the pressure and temperature requirement before you purchase a valve. Metal valves are better equipped to deal with high temperatures and pressure than plastic valves.

Maintenance

Fully understand how long a valve lasts, what its maintenance requirements are, and what sort of reliability it offers.
