Choosing the right valve involves:
- Pressure Rating (PSI/Bar compatibility)
- Fluid Type (corrosive/abrasive media handling)
- Temperature Range (-320°F to 1,800°F capabilities)
- Actuation (manual, pneumatic, or electric)
- Certifications (ISO 9001, PED, SIL-3)
Globe valves excel in flow throttling, while butterfly valves optimize space-constrained systems. Partner with manufacturers offering CFD simulations and material traceability for long-term reliability. Proper selection reduces maintenance costs by up to 40%.
