HIGH PRESSURE VALVES

High pressure valves are used in industries ranging from global oil production to aerospace manufacturing. In fact, they are found in almost every system or line and operate reliably against system pressures. Normally what is meant by high pressure valves are pressure classes up to and including PN63 (DIN) or Class600 (ANSI).In fact in the valve industry the term High pressure is perceived differently. For example, systems with low pressure such as 15-20 bar bar are called high pressure. The difference between low pressure and high pressure comes from the design features, which is made according to the fluid pressure and temperature, for example, the valve wall thickness or material is selected according to the variables.

Generally speaking, there are the following types of high pressure valves; let’s take a look at each of them.

Relief or Safety : Valves operate under a preset set pressure. This setpoint is a function of the forces that the system must generate to do the required work; if these forces are not controlled or limited, they can (sometimes excessively) damage expensive equipment and fluid power components. Relief or Relief valves act as protections that limit the maximum pressure by releasing excess pressure from the system when pressures become too high.

Pressure Reducers : When it comes to maintaining pressure in a system or even lower, pressure reducers are the most practical solutions. They are the only high pressure valves on this list that remain open and closed when exposed to a pressure below the set pressure. They come in two types: direct acting and pilot operated.

Control : In some systems or lines, they are used for proportional or only open and close tasks, these valves have actuators (such as pneumatic). These systems are used with Controller, Solenoid, Positioner and various Sensors.

Line Shutoff: These high pressure valves are generally used as manual or actuated to protect the line from possible hazards and to isolate the system after the valve.

Whether you need a ball valve or a gate valve, finding the right valve for the job is crucial for safety, the environment and human health in high pressure situations.
