Throttling valves are specialized valves that facilities can use to regulate/control flow. They are typically globe-style designs, allowing for the control of flow through the valve sealing surfaces. Single seated, globe-type valves provide for uniform wear on the seat and disc. Throttling valves are used in various applications, including feedwater by-pass applications, blowdown applications, and more. Throttling Valve Applications Some of the most common applications for throttling valves include: Blowdown Applications When generating steam to

Thousands of small-diameter ball, check, globe, and gate valves are installed in industrial plants to facilitate a variety of power, process, mixing, and refining applications. They are critical for ensuring reliable control over the temperature, velocity, pressure, and flow of a wide range of media. When one of these valves fails, many organizations opt for valve replacement rather than repair. The choice between industrial valve repair and industrial valve replacement depends on a number of

Gate, ball, and globe valves are used extensively in isolation (on/off) and throttling (flow control) applications across residential, commercial, municipal, and industrial settings. Selecting the right valve for the intended use is oftentimes critical, as the results of misapplication can have catastrophic impacts in terms of safety, budget, and the environment. Numerous variables require careful consideration when choosing the right valve for a given application, but generally, the selection process seeks to match valve functionality

  The months of April and May saw Conval audited by two separate organizations for the purpose of determining the acceptability and implementation of our nuclear quality assurance program.  On April 26th, the Nuclear Procurement Issues Corporation (NUPIC), an organization made up of domestic and international member utilities, arrived with a team of seven auditors, representing Dominion Energy (2), PG&E, Exelon (2), AEP, and Duke Energy.  The results of the audit were positive, and the

The purpose of check valves is to prevent backflow within a piping system. Check valves are unidirectional valves that provide unobstructed flow in one direction as long as flow pressure remains constant and protect the piping system against reverse flow. The three main types of check valves we offer are ball, piston, and stop check valves. Piston Check Valves Also part of the lift check valve family, piston check valves incorporate a weighted piston (or

Una central de energía nuclear de dos años de antigüedad eligió las válvulas de compuerta y de globo de uno de nuestros competidores. No obstante, el departamento de ingeniería de la planta no estaba satisfecho con esas válvulas. En octubre de ese año, las válvulas presentaron fugas en la empaquetadura y en la junta de sellado de presión, lo que obligó a la central a sustituir estas válvulas defectuosas.  Dado que habían utilizado válvulas de
