1、Fluid control

Valves can be used to control the flow of various fluids, such as oil, natural gas, chemical raw materials, products and so on. By adjusting the opening of the valve, you can achieve precise control of the flow to meet the requirements of the production process. At the same time, the valve can also be used to cut off the flow of fluid, isolation and protection.


2、Pressure regulation

Petrochemical production process, the control of pressure is very important. Valves can regulate the fluid pressure to ensure the normal operation of the system. For example, a pressure reducing valve can depressurize a high pressure gas to the required pressure, and a safety valve can automatically discharge when the system is overpressurized to protect the safety of equipment and personnel.


3、Direction control

Valves can also be used to change the direction of fluid flow, to achieve diversion, merging and other functions. For example, a three-way valve can divert the fluid to two different pipelines, and a four-way valve can realize the direction change of the fluid.


4, sealing and isolation

The sealing performance of the valve is critical to prevent fluid leakage. In the petrochemical industry, many media are corrosive, toxic or flammable, so the sealing performance of the valve is very demanding. Through the use of appropriate sealing materials and structures, you can ensure the sealing reliability of the valve.


5, Automation control

With the development of the modern petrochemical industry, more and more valves use automation control technology to realize remote operation and monitoring. Through electric, pneumatic or hydraulic actuators, the automatic switching, adjustment and control of the valve can be realized to improve the automation level and efficiency of production.
