INTRODUCTION FEATURES

PRESSURED BALANCED TYPE

This type of plug valve has tapered plug that is installed

from bottom to the valve body and is generally metal
seated, which makes it good for high pressure high
temperature services. The valves are provided with
sealant injecting fittings on stem and plug.

INTRODUCTION

A plug valve is a valve with a conical plug, the part of

the valve which controls the flow through it. The plug
has a hole, or port, through the middle so that when the
port is in line with both ends of the valve, flow will
occur. When the valve is closed, the hole is
perpendicular to the ends of the valve, and flow is Stem Grease Fitting Body Grease Fitting

SLEEVED TYPE
BLOWOUT PROOF STEM
This type of plug valve has tapered plug that is installed
to the body from top; it is generally soft seated type for The valve stem is made with a shoulder at the bottom
which service temperature is limited by the kind of end. It’s securely retained by the stuffing box, to avoid
sleeve it uses. The maximum service temperature is that the stem, under certain operating conditions,
about 150 oC, and the pressure is not high either. accidentally blows out. Other designs are available on
request.

ANTI-STATIC

Seat Sleeve Because the plug and stem in a plug valve are
Plug suspended on non-metallic parts, i.e. the seat seal
and stem seal, there is a possibility a static charge
may build up on the stem-plug, is introduced in the
design to maintain the metal-to-metal contact
between the rotating plug/stem and the valve body
which will ground any charges to the valve body.

VALVE FIGURE NUMBER (CONT’D) HOW TO ORDER

HOW THE FIGURE NUMBER SYSTEM WORKS

Introduction. Figure number system uses a code consisting 14 digits of letters and numbers to represent the
specification of a valve of certain specification. Among 14 digits, they are separated into 10 groups identified by
letters from A to J. Each group represents a parameter of a valve, together they contain almost all the essential
parameters of the valve.

Uses. Using the figure number system to generate a code is easy. Under each group, the code is shown on the left
while on the right is the meaning of the code. Start by selecting a code from group A, through group J. If the
specification of the valve is not listed, select the code for “Special “. The total length of the figure number shall be
exactly 14 digits.

Cautions. It is advised that you have as detailed the specification as possible to generate a figure number, which
means eliminating “Specials”. If you don’t have enough specification or information about the valve you are
ordering, or you’re not sure how to use the system to generate a figure number, contact one of our sales
representatives for help.
