What is Plug Valve? What Does It Do? <\/h2>\n

Valves used in fluid control systems are the basic components that ensure safe, efficient and uninterrupted operation of the process. One of these valves, the plug valve,<\/strong> is preferred in many industrial applications thanks to its simple structure and fast on-off feature. <\/p>\n

What is Plug Valve?<\/h2>\n

A plug valve<\/strong> is a type of valve with a cylindrical or conical plug that controls flow by rotating the plug. When the line through which the fluid flows and the hole on the plug are aligned, flow is ensured; when the hole is prevented from intersecting the flow direction by rotating 90\u00b0, the valve closes. Therefore, it is classified as quarter-turn valves.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Plug valves are usually manufactured from the following materials:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Rice<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Stainless steel<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Cast iron<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Nickel plating<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Although simple in design, there are models that offer high sealing.<\/p>\n

    What Does Plug Valve Do?<\/h2>\n

    The main functions of plug valves are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \ud83d\udd39 1. Opening and Closing the Fluid <\/h3>\n

    By rotating the plug, the passage of the fluid is allowed or blocked. This is a great advantage when quick intervention is required in process systems. <\/p>\n

    \ud83d\udd39 2. Changing the Flow Direction <\/h3>\n

    Some special plug valve models (e.g. 3-way or 4-way valves) allow the flow direction to be changed by connecting multiple <\/strong>lines together.<\/p>\n

    \ud83d\udd39 3. Line Isolation <\/h3>\n

    It provides line isolation safely thanks to its sealing feature. It is especially preferred for safety in systems carrying hazardous fluids. <\/p>\n

    Plug Valve Types<\/h2>\n

    Plug valves are produced in various shapes according to different needs:<\/p>\n

      \u2705 Easy maintenance and cleaning
      \u2705 Possibility of use in abrasive fluids
      \u2705 Suitable for high temperature and pressure (depending on model)<\/p>\n

      Evaluation<\/h2>\n

      Plug valves, <\/strong>thanks to their durability and simple design, are frequently preferred both in low-cost systems and in applications requiring high safety. They offer significant advantages in terms of sealing and long life, especially in environments where quick opening and closing <\/strong>is required. If you are looking for a high performance and economical valve in your system, it would be a good decision to choose a plug valve suitable for your application. <\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#f7f7f7″ scene_position=”center” top_padding=”100″ bottom_padding=”100″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

      Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][toggles style=”minimal”][toggle color=”Default” title=”What is Plug Valve?”][vc_column_text]\n

      Plug valve consists of Plug, body and cover and is mainly used for On-Off services and Control in refinery, chemical industry and petrochemical.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” title=”Why use Plug Valve?”][vc_column_text]\n

      They are used to provide tight closing, fast opening and low pressure drop. The most important feature of the valve is that there is no dead zone in the valve and thus the function of the valve is not lost due to the inability to form a solidified fluid over time.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” title=”What are the areas of use of Plug Valves?”][vc_column_text]\n
