Lubricated plug valve manufacturer
Valvesonly Europe stands at the forefront as a premier Lubricated Plug Valve Manufacturer in Italy. A lubricated plug valve is a sophisticated quarter-turn valve renowned for its versatility and dependable performance in fluid control applications. The term "lubricated" signifies the inclusion of a specialized lubrication system within the valve's design. This system typically involves the injection of lubricating fluid between the tapered or cylindrical plug and the valve body, effectively minimizing friction and wear during operation. The sealing mechanism, often a resilient sleeve on the plug, ensures a tight shut-off, preventing leakage when the valve is in the closed position. Lubricated plug valves find widespread use in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, chemical processing, and water treatment, excelling in both on/off and throttling applications.
One of the notable features is their ease of operation, facilitated by a 90-degree rotation of the plug for swift opening and closing – a valuable trait in processes requiring rapid response. Additionally, these valves are designed to handle high-pressure environments, making them indispensable in critical processes within the oil and gas industry.
Maintenance Considerations:
Regular lubrication maintenance is essential to ensure optimal performance and extend the service life of the valve. Lubrication intervals may vary based on operating conditions.
Parts of the valve:
- Body: The outer shell that houses internal components and provides structural support.
- Plug: A movable component that controls the flow by opening or closing the passage.
- Stem: Connects the plug to the actuator (handle, gear, or actuation mechanism), facilitating movement.
- Bonnet: The top part of the valve that encloses the stem and other internal elements, aiding in maintenance.
- Seat: The sealing surface that the plug interfaces with, ensuring a tight shut-off when the valve is closed.
- Plug Port: The opening in the plug through which the fluid flows when the valve is in the open position.
- Handle: A lever or wheel used to operate the valve by rotating the stem and plug.
- Packing Gland: A structure that houses the packing material, preventing leakage around the stem.
- Grease Grooves: Channels on the stem or other components to facilitate the application of lubricating grease.
- Grease Fitting: A point for injecting lubricating grease, essential for the smooth operation of the lubricated plug valve.
