FAQ's of Needle Valve:
Q: How does the T-Bar handle needle valve regulate flow in pipelines?
A: The T-Bar handle provides precise manual control over the valve stem movement, allowing users to fine-tune the flow of gas or liquid through the 2 mm orifice. This design offers accurate throttling, suited for applications where flow regulation is critical.
Q: What applications are best suited for this needle valve?
A: This valve is ideal for flow control in industrial pipelines dealing with gas and liquid media. Its resistance to high pressure (up to 6000 PSI) and temperature (-20C to 120C) makes it suitable for chemical, oil & gas, and laboratory environments.
Q: When should reinforced PTFE packing be chosen for sealing?
A: Reinforced PTFE packing is recommended when leak-tight sealing is essential, particularly in high-pressure and corrosive environments. It enhances durability and effectiveness in preventing leakage, meeting Class VI standards for tightness.
Q: Where can the needle valve be installed within a system?
A: Thanks to its versatile design, this valve can be mounted in any position-horizontal, vertical, or inclined-enabling flexible placement within pipelines or process systems without concern for orientation affecting performance.
Q: What is the process to hydrostatically test the valve?
A: Hydrostatic testing involves subjecting the assembled valve to water pressure 1.5 times its rated maximum (up to 9000 PSI) to verify integrity and resistance to leaks, ensuring safe operation under severe working conditions.
Q: How does the SS316 stainless steel body enhance durability?
A: SS316 stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance and strength, providing long-lasting performance even in aggressive and moist environments. This quality ensures the valve maintains its functionality and appearance over time.
Q: What benefits does the Class VI leakage rating provide?
A: A Class VI leakage rating signifies minimal allowable leakage, ensuring the valve delivers excellent sealing performance. This is crucial for processes requiring strict containment and preventing contamination or media loss.
