Plug valves are very similar to ball valves, again quarter turn operation via manual hand lever or another actuating device. The seat to seal interface is created by the polished plug rotating within the valve body. It can be a straight plug, or a tapered plug depending on the performance required for the process conditions. Energization is by mechanical force, which is built in to the valve at the assembly stage to the valve. Lubricated and lined plug valves also offer varying degrees of tight shut-off and operating torque requirements.
Euroguarco plug valve product range covers construction by short pattern, regular pattern, Venturi pattern, round port and jacketed type, conforming to API 6D, API 599, ASME B16.34, ASTM, ANSI, EN, DIN, BS. Materials are mostly forged and cast steel or alloys.
Various optional designs are available: fire safe design, cryogenic service, underground service, stem extended, lined, lubricated, non-lubricated, Multi-Port Pattern 2, 3 and 4 ways, etc.
Main features:
Plug valve is a Quarter-turn rotary motion Valve that uses a tapered or cylindrical plug to stop or start the flow. The disk is in plug shape, which has a passage to pass the flow. Our plug valves deliver low energy consumption through low-torque designs and safe operation with tight shutoff performance. High levels of uptime are achieved through pressure-balanced designs. Absolute shutoff requirements can be addressed by double-isolation models.
