About Jacketed Valve
FlowBiz Exports Pvt Ltd Valves is a High Quality Jacketed valves Manufacturer in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. We are a leading manufacturer of Jacketed valves in Mumbai and nearby areas.
Jacketed valves have a protective covering around their bodies, commonly known as a Jacket. Jacketed valve is the name given to these valves because of this only. These valveis jackets can be constructed or welded directly to the outside body of the valve. Jacketed valves are produced in a wide range of styles across the industry. Each of which applications is determined by the flow mediais level, the pressure involved, the temperature it experiences, and the industryis performance and operation level.

Comprehensive Temperature Control SolutionThe Jacketed Valve ensures seamless flow and temperature management for process industries handling media prone to solidification or high viscosity. Its full jacketed body allows consistent heating with various media such as hot water, steam, and thermal oil, maintaining process integrity and operational efficiency even in demanding environments.
Wide Selection of Configurations and MaterialsThis valve series is available in two-piece or three-piece constructions and accommodates a variety of materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel (304/316), alloy steel, and special alloys. The flexible design also enables adaptation to several standards and connection types, offering reliable integration into both new and existing pipelines.
Optimized for Automation and Manual OperationThe Jacketed Valve is designed for both manual and automated service. Featuring an ISO 5211 mounting pad, it can be directly coupled with electric or pneumatic actuators. This capability permits efficient integration into modern control systems, ensuring accurate flow regulation and ease of operation across diverse process applications.
FAQ's of Jacketed Valve:
Q: How does the jacketed design benefit temperature-sensitive processes?
A: The jacketed design allows for circulation of heating media such as steam, hot water, or thermal oil around the valve body, maintaining optimal media temperature. This prevents solidification and maintains viscosity for smooth flow, vital in industries working with bitumen, molten sulphur, and other temperature-sensitive materials.
Q: What connection sizes and types are available for the jacketed valve?
A: Standard jacket inlet and outlet connections range from 1/2 inch to 1 inch NPT/BSP, while valve port sizes are available from 1/2 inch up to 12 inches. The main end connections include flanged (ANSI B16.5), butt weld, socket weld, and screwed end options, with additional customization possible to meet project needs.
Q: When is a full jacketed valve recommended over a partial jacketed one?
A: A full jacketed valve is recommended when uniform and reliable heating is required across the entire valve body, especially for media that solidify or become highly viscous at lower temperatures. This ensures the process media remains fluid throughout the valve, reducing risk of clogging or process interruption.
Q: Where are jacketed valves commonly used?
A: Jacketed valves are widely used in industries such as chemical processing, petrochemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, and asphalt plants. They are essential wherever temperature control of challenging media like bitumen, resin, tars, and waxes is required to sustain process efficiency and product quality.
Q: What is the process for selecting the right sealing material for a jacketed valve?
A: Selecting the proper sealing material depends on the process media, temperature, and pressure. Options like PTFE, graphite, or metal-to-metal sealing are available. PTFE is suitable for chemical compatibility, while graphite handles higher temperatures. Metal-to-metal is chosen for abrasive or extremely high-temperature applications.
Q: How is the valve tested to ensure safe operation and leak-tightness?
A: Jacketed valves are tested according to standards such as BS EN 12266 and API 598, or as specified by the customer. Leak tests and pressure checks are performed to confirm the valve's integrity, tight sealing (Class VI or IV/V depending on construction), and reliable operation before shipping.
