    VALVE SECTION

    A valve is a mechanical device which regulate either the flow or the pressure of the fluid. Its function can be stopping or starting the flow, controlling flow rate, diverting flow, preventing back flow, controlling pressure, or relieving pressure.

    To meet different requirements various types of valves are employed in the refinery Gate valve:

    Gate valves have an extended use in the petrochemical industry due to the fact that they can work with metal-metal sealing. Opening and closing operations are slow. Due to the high friction wear their use is not recommend their use in often required opening. They are not easy to repair on site.

    Ball valve: The ball valve has a spherical plug as a closure member. Seal on ball valves is excellent, the ball contact circumferentially uniform the seat, which is usually made of soft materials. The seat material resistance of the ball valve limits the working temperature and pressure of the valve. The seat is plastic or metal made

    Ball valves are mostly used in shutoff applications. They are used in steam, water, oil, gas, air, corrosive fluids, and can also handle slurries and dusty dry fluids.

    Butt rfly v lv A butte y v ve is from a family of valves calle quart r-turn valv s. The "butterfly" is a metal disc mounted on a rod. When the valve is closed, the disc is turned so that it completely bloc s off the passage ay. When the valve is fully open, the disc is rotated a quarter turn so that it allows an almost unrestricted passage of the fluid. The valve may also be opened incrementally to throttle flow.

    Butterfly valves can work with any kind of fluid, gas, liquid and also with solids in suspension.

    Globe valve: A globe valve is a type of valve used for regulating flow in a pipeline, consisting of a movable disk-type element and a stationary ring seat in a generally spherical body.

    They are used to control flow rates when mixing fluids or in batching operations where the fluid flow may need to continuously adjusted. The valves can be operated manually or automatically depending on the process.

    Non return (or) check valve: It is a mechanical device, a valve, which normally
    allows fluid (liquid or gas) to flow through it in only one direction.

    Check valves are also often used when multiple gases are mixed into one gas stream. A check valve is installed on each of the individual gas streams to prevent mixing of the gases in the original source.

    Plug Valve: Plug valves are used in On/Off services and flow diverting, as they can be multiport configurated.

    Safet relief valve: It operates automatically at a set differential pressure to correct a potentially dangerous situation, typically over-pressure.

    Needle valve: It is called needle valve due to the shape of the closure member. It consists on a threaded stem with a conical end. As the screw is turned and the plunger retracted, flow between the seat and the plunger is possible; however, until the plunger is completely retracted the fluid flow is significantly impeded. Since it takes many turns of the fine-threaded screw to retract the plunger, precise regulation of the flow rate is possible.

    Equipment: VALVE TEST BENCH: It is used to perform hydrotests , pressure tests, body tests & other functional test on valves & other components

    . Valve lapping machine: LAPPING MACHINE cuts down valve grinding time by up to 90% compared with conventional grinding equipment. Further more, the grinding is of better quality LAPPING MACHINE pays for itself after only a few grinding operations. LAPPING MACHINE consists of a holding plate which has a number of grinding heads that are fitted with self-adhesive abrasive discs. When the holding plate rotates the grinding heads move in the opposite direction to grind and polish the sealing surface. Because of its unique principle. Also you can use newly developed Grinding Stone Rotating Head .
