FAQS
1. Q. What is an inverted pressure-balanced lubrication plug valve?
A:The Inverted Pressure Balance Lubrication Plug Valve is a high performance valve designed for fluid control. Its unique inverted pressure-balancing mechanism and lubricating plug head enhance sealing performance and reduce torque, making it very effective in high-pressure applications.
2. Q: What are the sizes and pressure ratings of these plug valves?
A:These plug valves are sized at 2" diameter and have a pressure rating of 150 pounds (150 LB) for specific fluid flow and pressure conditions.
3. Q: What is a sleeve type soft seal plug valve?
A: A sleeve type soft seal plug valve is a specialised plug valve equipped with a soft material sleeve or liner for sealing. It has a cylindrical or conical plug that rotates within the valve body to control fluid flow and is typically used for switching and throttling. It features an internal sleeve, usually made of a soft material like rubber, that forms a seal when the plug head is rotated into the closed position.
4. Q: How does a sleeve type soft seal plug valve ensure sealing performance?
A:A sleeve-type soft-seal plug valve operates by using a rotating plug head or core that operates inside the valve body, supplemented by a soft sleeve or liner usually made of rubber or elastomeric material. When the valve is open, the plug is aligned with a passage in the valve body, allowing fluid to flow. When the valve is closed, the plug rotates to stagger the passage, compressing the soft sleeve to form a tight seal and effectively stopping fluid flow. The flexibility of the soft sleeve ensures a strong seal by accommodating any irregularities between the plug and the valve body.
5. Q: What are the advantages of a sleeve-type soft-seal plug valve with a gearbox?
A: The sleeve-type soft-seal plug valve with gearbox offers superior performance and durability. Its top flange is ISO5210/ISO5211 compatible, allowing direct mounting of a variety of actuators, promoting automation and improving operational efficiency.
