What is top entry plug valve ?
Non-lubricated metal seated top entry plug valve LIFT PLUG VALVES were developed over 80 years ago to solve problems with existing valves in catalyst cracking service. As the valves preformed so well in this service it was also recommended for use in other hash applications in the chemical & petrochemical industry.As the valves preformed so well in this service it was also recommended for use in other hash applications in the chemical & petrochemical industry.
PRINCIPLE OF OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE LIFT PLUG VALVE top entry plug valve
Opening of the valve:
- 1)turn the hand wheel to make the plug lifted and separated with the sealing surface;
- 2)then turn the handle lever by 90 degree to connect the channel of plug to the channel of valve body,so the plug valve is opened.
Closing of the valve:
- 1)turn the handle lever by 90 degree to make the channel of plug vertical to the channel of valve body
- 2)then turn the hand wheel to descend the plug,so that the valve is closed.
