Valves (Stop valves)
A shut-off valve (valve) is a type of pipeline shut-off and control valve designed to shut off and (or) regulate the flow of a medium in which a shut-off element (in the form of a conical valve, a poppet valve) moves parallel to its flow.
Its main design features are:
- reliability of the locking unit in various operating modes;
- possibility of ensuring high tightness of the circuit.
This makes it possible to use shut-off valves under the most severe operating conditions: operating temperature - up to 600°C, operating pressure - up to 250 MPa.
Is it possible to imagine any closed (pipeline) system with any type of working medium (liquid, steam or gas), without shut-off and control valves? Even at the everyday level, any person knows: in order to start or stop the supply of media through pipes to consumers, you must first find and open (or close) the “faucet”.
