Eccentric plug valves are designed for durability and reliable shutoff in demanding applications. But what exactly makes them stand out? Reduced Friction and Wear Thanks to the offset design, the plug avoids contact with the seat during opening/closing, reducing friction and extending service life. Excellent for Slurry and Wastewater These valves perform well in systems […]

Introduction Plug valves and eccentric plug valves are essential components in fluid shutoff applications. Though similar in purpose, their internal structure and performance differ significantly. Plug Valve Structure: Features a cylindrical or tapered plug that rotates inside the valve body to open or close flow. Sealing: Contact is uniform around the entire plug. Applications: Common […]

Introduction Globe valves are known for their excellent throttling capabilities. Among them, T type and Y type globe valves are widely used—but how do they differ in design and function? T Type Globe Valve Design: The body shape forms a right-angle turn (like the letter T). Flow Path: Creates significant flow resistance due to the […]

Introduction Gate valves are essential in fluid isolation applications, and the bonnet design plays a critical role in valve integrity, pressure handling, and maintenance. Two popular types are bolted bonnet and welded bonnet gate valves—but what sets them apart? Bolted Bonnet Gate Valves Structure: The bonnet is attached to the valve body using bolts and […]

A bonneted knife gate valve is a type of industrial valve designed for isolating flow in pipelines that carry slurry, pulp, wastewater, or other fluids with suspended solids. Unlike traditional knife gate valves, which are typically bonnetless, a bonneted knife gate valve includes a sealed cover over the stem and gate area. This additional structure—called […]

What Is the Knife Gate Valve? A knife gate valve is a type of industrial valve specifically designed to handle fluids containing suspended solids, such as slurry, wastewater, pulp, or powder. Its defining feature is a sharp-edged gate that cuts through media to isolate flow. Unlike other valves used for throttling or precise flow regulation, […]
