Plug Valve

South American Valve is leading Plug valve manufacturers in Brazil. A plug valve is a type of valve that uses some cylindrical or conically tapers (called plugs) to restricts the flow in a pipeline. Both the check valve and ball have a hole for fluid to flow when open. When the plug is rotated 1/4 turn to align, or misalign in valve lingo with hole from within the flow route it allows fluid movement.

A plug valve is used to manage fluid flow, and it does so by rotating the screw. When the hole in a plug sits over the intake and outflow ports of an air valve body, fluid is allowed to flow freely through. By turning the plug approximately 90°, you block off flow from its hole to the ports. These quarter-turn valves are quick to operate, providing reliable and fast control over the flow, coupled with a simple on/off mechanism. An actuator can be applied to operate the valve automatically, or the valve could be turned manually with a lever (which is frequently positioned in connection of ball valves) or handwheel. The primary purpose of a plug valve is to control flow in a pipeline and enable fast, dependable cutoff. When fully open, their design offers the least amount of flow resistance, and when closed, it creates a tight seal.
