What is an Industrial Plug Valve?
A plug valve is a valve that controls the flow of fluid by rotating a cylindrical or conical cock with a through hole. The plug valve is simple in design and flexible in operation, and is suitable for frequently opened and closed applications. Similar to a ball valve, a plug valve opens or closes the valve by turning it 90 degrees, but it is more compact. Plug valves are widely used in the oil, gas and chemical industries, especially where quick opening and closing and leakage prevention are required. Plug valves can be operated by handle or actuator for easy and reliable operation and are ideal for high temperature, high pressure and corrosive media pipelines.
