Features & Benefits

Ball Valve

  • Can be used for Isolation & Regulation
  • When positive shut-off is required
  • Where a compact design is required
  • Quick opening – 90º rotation between open to fully closed
  • Handle positioning is a quick indication as to whether the valve is open or not
  • Full bore designs do not restrict the flow

Butterfly Valve

  • When positive shut-off is required
  • Mainly used for Isolation however can also be used for Regulation
  • Quick opening – 90º rotation between open to fully closed
  • Lightweight & Easy to install – fit between flanges in pipework
  • Less costly than Cast Iron Bodied Gate Valve equivalents
  • Can be used for slurries and where there are solids in suspension
  • Restrict flow even when fully opened – the disc is sat in the fluid path.

Gate Valve

  • Only used for Isolation
  • Minimal Pressure Drop
  • Minimal Fluid Entrapment
  • Used for intermittent and occasional operation
  • Slow to open and close due to rising stem/gate

Check Valve

  • Used for controlling the direction of flow and preventing backflow
  • Swing Check Valves are used where minimal pressure drop is required & recommended for use with Gate Valves
  • Can only work in certain mounting configurations as they rely on gravity to re-seat
  • Spring Check Valves are used with reciprocating pumps and can be used in all mounting positions

Globe Valve

  • For Regulation of Flow & frequent operation, short stems reduce operating time
  • Introduce appreciable pressure drop
  • Fairly bulky & heavy
