Lubricated Plug Valve
Middleeast valve is the leading Lubricated Plug Valve Suppliers in UAE. It is a valve designed with a cylindrical or tapered plug that can be rotated inside the valve body to either allow or obstruct the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) through a pipeline.
It can isolate sections of a pipeline to facilitate maintenance or repair work. It can be used to control the rate of fluid flow by partially opening or closing the valve. The lubrication system helps reduce the friction between moving parts, making it easier to operate and extending the valve’s lifespan.
Here are the key components and steps in its operation:
- Valve Body: The valve body is typically made of metal and contains a passage (bore) through which the fluid flows.
- Plug: The plug is a cylindrical or tapered component that fits snugly inside the valve body’s bore. It can be rotated using a handle or actuator.
- Flow Control: By turning the plug, the operator can either align the plug’s opening with the valve body’s bore (allowing flow) or position it perpendicular to the bore (blocking flow). The degree of rotation controls the flow rate.
- Sealing: The lubricant on the plug’s surfaces helps create a tight seal when the plug is in the closed position, preventing fluid from leaking through the valve.
Advantages:
- Protection of the seating against corrosion.
- The high pressure ensures that there is no trapping of solids between valve body and plug.
- Minimizing internal leakage.
- The lubricant pressure prevents solids from entering the cavity in the plug.
