An Overview of Needle Valves
Like other Valves, A needle valve is used to control flow which is required for regulation. In Simple words, the needle valve is used to control flow rates of gasses, liquids or fluids. Needle Valve is similar to a globe valve with respect to design with, the difference is the sharp needle-like a disk, however, it is used for low flow rates and have a large pressure drop from the inlet to the outlet. The Port size of a needle Valves ranges from 1/8” up to 2”. The needle valve has the ability to shut off the flow entirely. These valves are used to control and check the flow of liquid and gas, but during the time of high pressure, this valve is subjected to suffer damage. These valves can easily be used for both on and off valves, along with a system for throttling service. Needle valves are made from durable materials such as copper, plastic, brass, steel or aluminum. This valve is used in many different systems and applications; however, plastic valves or brass valves...
