Plug valve
Plug valves control flow using tapered or cylindrical plugs. The valve allows only a quarter-turn rotary motion. Plug valves are the best when tight shutoff is essential, and these are reliable in high-pressure or high-temperature environments.
Additional information
A plug valve is a crucial component in the realm of oil and gas exploration, production, and processing, serving as a versatile and reliable device for controlling the flow of fluids in pipelines. This type of valve derives its name from the cylindrical or tapered plug that is used to obstruct or allow the passage of fluids through the valve body.
