In chemical engineering, where products often exhibit corrosive, flammable, or explosive properties, valve selection is critical for ensuring safety and system reliability. The choice of valves in chemical pipeline design directly impacts the quality of the overall design, necessitating a thorough understanding of each valve type’s characteristics. Building on the previous discussion, this section explores the features of butterfly valves, plug valves, and ball valves.
Butterfly valves are widely used in chemical pipeline design, valued for their compact size, lightweight construction, and simple structure—advantages that facilitate easy installation and operation. They are particularly suitable for high-flow applications due to their low flow resistance. However, their performance is temperature-sensitive: operating at elevated temperatures can compromise their sealing integrity, limiting their use in high-temperature environments.
Plug valves, though higher in manufacturing costs compared to other types, offer distinct advantages:
Their high cost, however, restricts their widespread adoption in budget-sensitive projects.
Similar to plug valves, ball valves are available in one-piece, two-piece, and three-piece body designs. They inherit the plug valve’s advantages—suitability for low-temperature, high-pressure, and viscous media—while offering lower costs and easier maintenance. This makes them a preferred choice for general industrial applications. Note that ball valves are not optimized for precise flow regulation; their on-off functionality is more suited for isolation rather than throttling tasks.
