PLUG VALVES

Plug valve comprises of plug, body, and cover and is used for on-off  and Control services basically in refinery, chemical industry, and petrochemical. Normally small in size, require less headroom and available in wide range of materials. They provide tight shut off, quick opening and low pressure drop

ADVANTAGES OF PLUG VALVES

It comprises of few parts and has a simple design.

Opens and closes easily.

It can be maintained and repaired easily at the place of operation.

They have low flow resistance and has a reliable leak-proof feature

The most important feature is that there is no dead zone in the valve, especially since there is no dead zone inside the valve, there is no locking or deterioration in the valve due to the accumulations caused by the fluid.

 

DISADVANTAGES OF PLUG VALVES

It creates high friction due to fast movement and hence requires large amount of force.

Valve transitions usually narrows flows due to conic plug.

Expensive than the ball valves.

 

APPLICATIONS AREA

Refinery,

Chemical industry,

Petrochemical

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Plug Valve?

It consists of Plug valve, Plug, body and cap and is mainly used for On-Off services and Control in refinery, chemical industry and petrochemical.

What are the application areas of the Plug Valve?

They are used to provide tight closing, fast opening and low pressure drop. The most important feature is that there is no dead zone in the valve and thus the function of the valve is not lost due to the formation of stony fluid over time.
