Needle valve

Needle valves are designed differently. Unlike globe valves, which have a disc, needle valves have a tapered, long, needle-like point at the end of the valve stem. This is generally referred to as the plunger.

Needle valves also have a handwheel or a little handle placed on the plunger that controls the positions the position of the plunger. The valves needle-like plunger fits into the seat. Because of this special design, stainless steel needle valve can accurately and precisely control how much fluid passes via the valve.Needle valve is often used for hydraulic or compressed air system.

 

Our integral bonnet needle valve uses

Needle valves are generally used to manage flow and save delicate gauges from damage caused by sudden force surges of gases and liquids. They are perfect for systems using lighter and less vicious materials with low flow rates. Needle valves are generally used in low-force hydraulic systems, liquid, and gas services  .

Needle valves can also be applied to top-temperature and oxygen service based on their materials.  High pressure needle valves are generally made of bronze,brass, stainless steel, or metal alloys. It is vital to pick a needle valve with the material that is top suited for the service you need. This will support to preserve that valves service life and keeps your systems running perfectly and safely.
