What is a Needle Valve?
Needle valve is a type of valve designed to regulate flow in a fluid system. It has a long, tapered needle-shaped stem that is used to control the flow rate. They are typically small and compact, which makes them suitable for applications where space is limited. In instrument systems, linear motion is employed to throttle down small volumes, often hand-wheel attached to the top of the stem. This allows the operator to easily turn and adjust the flow rate by raising or lowering it. The handle provides the necessary mechanical advantage to operate the valve with precision.
Advantages:
- Precise Flow Control: They are designed to regulate the flow in the system making them ideal for the application where precise control is important.
- Quick Shut-off: Provide tight shut-off of the flow of fluid and minimizing the risk of leakage.
- Versatility: These valves can handle high temperature, fluids and gases, including corrosive and high-pressure makes them suitable for various industrial applications.
- Easy Maintenance: They are typically compact in size which make them easy to maintain and install where space is limited
- Durability: They are made up of robust material such as stainless steel, brass, or bronze, making them resistant to corrosion.
Application:
- Process Control: They are used in industrial processes where accurate control of fluid flow is required such as power generation, Chemical processing
- Laboratory Equipment: They provide precise control of gas and liquid flow rates
- Hydraulic Systems: They are used to regulate the flow of fuel to achieve optimal combustion.
