The plug valve is a quick opening and closing valve. Plug valves are suitable for multi-channel structures, so one valve can obtain two, three or even four different flow channels. This can simplify the design of the pipeline system, reduce the amount of valves and connecting fittings. Plug valves can be divided into soft seal and hard seal structures according to different sealing materials. 1. L...

There are four common types of plug valves, each of which has specific characteristics and advantages. Lubricated plug valve The lubrication plug valve uses lubricant to reduce frictions and make each port tightly sealed. Lubricants are basicly base oils that increase the viscosity of moving parts, such as amorphous or fumed silica, which are injected between the valve plug surface and the valve b...

There are many ways to classify plug valves. In this article, we will introduce four main type of plug valves. 1. Lubricated Plug Valve A lubricated plug valve functions with the help of a lubricant (a base oil and viscosity improver) which is injected between the plug and body seat facing to reduce the frictions between them. The lubricated plug valve must be resealed after a few cycles. Due to i...
