Plug control valves serve as sophisticated instruments for the precise regulation of fluid flow within pipelines. Characterized by a plug, typically cylindrical or conical in shape, this component moves in a linear fashion to adjust flow rates. Encased within the valve body, the plug is meticulously aligned with a seat to guarantee precise control over the fluid flow. These valves are celebrated for their adaptability, capable of handling a range of pressures and temperatures, and are widely utilized across various industries including oil and gas, chemical processing, and water treatment, where dependable flow regulation is crucial.

Plug control valves are essential components in industries where precise control of the flow of mediums is crucial. These valves function by rotating 90° to either connect or shut off the flow of the medium. They are engineered for high durability, efficient operation, and long service life, even under challenging conditions such as extreme temperatures, high pressures, or corrosive environments. The body cavity of the valve features a grooved and convex-edge structure, effectively securing the sleeve in place to meet specialized application needs.
The key design feature of the plug control valve is its ability to protect the valve from damage caused by simultaneous rotation of the sleeve and plug. In many cases, improper movement can result in valve failure. However, the design of the control plug valve ensures that such an issue is avoided, ensuring that the valve performs efficiently without compromising its integrity during the closing process.
One of the most significant advantages of the plug control valve is the material used in the construction of its sleeve. The sleeve is made from Dupont PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), a highly durable material known for its excellent mechanical strength, low friction coefficient, and superior sealing properties. PTFE offers the valve several benefits:
Low Friction: PTFE's low friction coefficient reduces the torque required to operate the valve. This not only improves the valve's ease of operation but also extends its service life by reducing wear and tear on the internal components.
Reliable Sealing: The PTFE sleeve ensures tight seals, preventing leaks and ensuring that the valve maintains an optimal flow control, even in high-pressure and high-temperature environments.
Durability: The material's resistance to wear, corrosion, and extreme temperatures ensures that the plug control valve will perform consistently, even in challenging applications.
These features make the plug control valve a preferred choice for applications in industries like petroleum, chemicals, and smelting, where the flow medium may contain granular impurities or is susceptible to crystallization under certain conditions.
The plug control valve's design and materials make it an excellent option for use in industries with particularly harsh working environments. For example, the petroleum, chemical, and smelting industries often require equipment that can withstand extreme conditions, such as high temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive substances. Additionally, in some cases, the mediums in these industries may be prone to crystallization or contain abrasive particles that can damage conventional valve designs.
In these situations, the plug control valve stands out due to its ability to perform reliably under extreme conditions. Whether dealing with the corrosive nature of chemicals, the high-pressure environment of oil refineries, or the smelting process in metal production, the plug control valve can handle the most demanding tasks without failure.
Large-size plug valves manufactured with a standard design often face challenges such as internal sealing or middle sealing leakage after a period of use. This problem arises from the mechanical stress and wear over time, which compromises the integrity of the valve’s sealing capabilities.
We have solved this issue with the development of a trunnion-type double gland plug valve. This innovative design is particularly suited for large-size applications and enhances the performance and longevity of the valve. The trunnion design provides added stability to the valve, minimizing the risk of leakage while ensuring that the valve maintains its sealing efficiency over extended periods of operation. This is especially critical in large-scale industrial processes where valve failure can result in significant downtime or even catastrophic accidents.
Thanks to the PTFE sleeve’s low friction properties, the valve operates with minimal effort required to turn the plug. This reduces wear and increases the overall efficiency of the valve, making it a cost-effective choice for long-term operations.
The PTFE material provides an excellent seal, preventing leakage and ensuring that flow control is precise and consistent. This feature is crucial in applications where maintaining consistent flow rates is essential for process stability.
With its resistance to high temperatures, high pressures, and corrosion, the plug control valve is built to endure even the harshest environments. The durability of the valve ensures that it requires fewer replacements and reduces the need for costly repairs.
The plug control valve is designed to withstand harsh operating conditions, especially in industries like petroleum, chemical processing, and smelting, where the medium may crystallize or contain abrasive impurities. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where reliability and performance are critical.
The introduction of the trunnion-type double gland plug valve has significantly improved the performance of large-sized plug valves. This self-developed design helps solve common problems such as leakage, offering a long-term, stable solution for large-scale industrial operations.
Like any mechanical component, plug control valves require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and extend their service life. The following are some key maintenance practices that help keep the valve in top condition:
Periodic inspection of the valve's sleeve and plug is crucial for identifying early signs of wear or damage. Replacing parts before they fail can prevent costly repairs and unexpected downtime.
Ensuring that the valve's moving parts are adequately lubricated can reduce friction and prevent wear. Proper lubrication helps maintain the valve's low torque operation, improving its longevity and efficiency.
Checking the integrity of the seals regularly can prevent leaks and ensure that the valve is performing as intended. If any signs of wear or damage are observed, the seals should be replaced promptly to avoid operational issues.
