It has three components: the body that contains the fluid, the closure element that controls the passage, and the actuator (manual, pneumatic or electric) that drives the closure element. <\/p><p>The right selection relies on four parameters that every process must define:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Nominal diameter (DN)<\/strong>: connection size in mm, from DN 50 to DN 3000<\/li><li><strong>Nominal pressure (PN or ANSI class)<\/strong>: maximum allowable pressure at reference temperature<\/li><li><strong>Fluid type<\/strong>: water, steam, acid, gas, particle-laden fluid<\/li><li><strong>Service temperature<\/strong>: from \u221260 \u00b0C in cryogenic applications to +600 \u00b0C under superheated steam<\/li><\/ul><p>A poorly selected valve leaks, wears quickly, or fails under conditions it was never designed to handle. Our configurator uses your process data to identify compatible references; engineers validate before any shipment.

A good option for large diameters in water, air and gas, with a smaller footprint than a gate valve. Triple offset for high pressures and temperatures.  <\/li><li><strong>Knife gate valve<\/strong>: solid sliding blade, full bore. No dead cavity, no clogging \u2014 that is why it is the standard choice for loaded fluids. <\/li><li><strong>Ball valve<\/strong>: drilled sphere at 90\u00b0, quick opening, good sealing. Widely used in gas, oil and low-pressure steam. <\/li><li><strong>Gate valve<\/strong>: wedge or parallel closure element. Low pressure drop when fully open. Isolation under high pressures.  <\/li><li><strong>Globe valve<\/strong>: linear closure element. Good flow regulation. Steam and hot water networks.  <\/li><li><strong>Check valve<\/strong>: prevents reverse flow.
