Some of the top pinch valve manufacturers Middle East hosted include the likes of Tomoe Valve, IMI, and AFFCO, to name a few. These manufacturers boast a strong regional presence and proven track records in oil, gas, and refinery applications. At ADIPEC Abu Dhabi 2024, each manufacturer showcased their capabilities in serving the growing Middle […]
Check valves are essential components in many fluid systems as they are designed to allow flow in one direction and prevent backflow. For example, in a water supply system, a check valve ensures that contaminated water doesn’t flow back into the clean water supply — safeguarding the water quality and preventing potential health hazards. Today, […]
The greatest difference between a ball and butterfly valves lies in their design and flow control mechanism. A ball valve uses a spherical ball with a hole through its center to control flow — providing a full, unobstructed passage when open and a tight seal when closed. In contrast, a butterfly valve uses a rotating […]
Actuated valves provide automated control over the flow of liquids, gases, or other materials. Their key function is to regulate the opening and closing of a valve based on external signals. These signals trigger actuators, devices that convert energy into mechanical motion — allowing the valve to either open, close, or modulate the flow within […]
A pneumatic valve is a type of valve that operates using compressed air as its power source. When the air is introduced to the valve, it generates the force needed to move the internal components and control the flow of various media, such as liquids, gases, or slurries. In this article, you’ll learn about what […]
Fluid flow in industries is often controlled using pinch valves. These pinch valves control opening/closing by applying a force at the center of the valve. This forces the valve to close and blocks flow. The force applied on these rubber lined valves is done through different actuation types. Additionally, the internal rubber lining allows the valve […]
When it comes to protecting equipment and ensuring clean flow in your system, using the right strainer in pipeline applications is essential. Pipeline strainers are mechanical filters that remove solid particles from liquids or gases, helping reduce pressure drop, avoid equipment damage, and improve pipeline maintenance cycles. In this guide, we’ll explain the different types […]
Fluid control in industries is an essential part of larger operations. And this control is provided by valves. There are plenty of differentiable industrial valves such as the ball valve, gate valve or the butterfly valve. And each of these valves have their own differences and pros. Industries like those with chemical plants or Oil/Gas industries […]
Butterfly valves — Valves identifiable by their butterfly-like disc which handles fluid flow, follow a 90 rotation which controls their opening/closing. And that’s why they’re also termed as quarter turn valves. Once lined with layers of PFA or PTFE, these butterfly valves can handle strong chemicals and higher temperatures. Continue on to learn more about […]
PFA lined ball valves use a PFA-made lining to control fluid flow with advantages of strong chemical resistance and mechanical durability. They are ideal valves for chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and petroleum industries. Curious on their structure, functionality, benefits, maintenance and uses? Let’s explore. Structure And Functionality Of PFA Lined Ball Valves Ball valve sealing controls […]
