The Role of Valves in Industrial Fluid Control Systems

Valves are critical components that ensure the safe, stable, and efficient operation of industrial piping systems. They play an essential role in flow isolation, flow regulation, pressure control, and system protection across industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, water treatment, and municipal infrastructure.

As a professional industrial valve manufacturer, CNM Valve is committed to delivering reliable, high-quality valve solutions that comply with international standards and meet diverse operating requirements worldwide.

Common Types of Industrial Valves and Their Functions

Ball Valve

Ball valves feature quick operation and excellent sealing performance, making them ideal for applications requiring fast shut-off or frequent operation. They are widely used in water treatment, oil & gas, chemical, and general industrial services.

Gate Valve

Gate valves are designed for fully open or fully closed operation, offering low flow resistance and reliable sealing. They are commonly used in large-diameter pipelines such as water supply networks, oil and gas transmission lines, and municipal projects.

Globe Valve

Globe valves provide accurate flow and pressure control, making them suitable for steam systems, high-temperature and high-pressure services, and chemical process pipelines where precise regulation is required.

Butterfly Valve

With a simple structure, light weight, and low operating torque, butterfly valves are ideal for large-diameter pipelines. They are widely applied in water supply systems, HVAC applications, and low to medium pressure industrial services.

Check Valve

Check valves prevent reverse flow in piping systems, protecting pumps and other critical equipment. They are commonly installed at pump outlets and in compressed air and chemical processing systems.

Safety Valve

Safety valves are essential pressure protection devices that automatically release excess pressure when it exceeds the preset limit. They are widely used in boilers, pressure vessels, and high-pressure pipeline systems.

Typical Applications Across Industries

• Oil & Gas Industry: Transportation and process control of crude oil and natural gas

• Water Treatment & Environmental Projects: Control of clean water, wastewater, and chemicals

• Power & Energy Sector: Steam, water, and cooling systems

• Chemical Industry: Corrosive media and high-pressure applications

• Municipal & Building Engineering: Water supply, heating, and fire protection systems
