High-Performance Pressure Balance Type Plug Valve
Qisheng’s Pressure Balance Type Plug Valves are engineered for high-pressure industrial services where reliability and low operating torque are paramount. Featuring an innovative inverted plug design and a sophisticated pressure balance mechanism, these valves effectively reduce plug abrasion and prevent pressure locking. With surface-hardened components and an anti-blowout stem, they conform to API 599 and API 6D standards. Available in pressure ratings from Class 150 to 2500 and sizes up to NPS 36, they are the ideal solution for crude oil, natural gas, and complex petrochemical transmission.
Description
Qisheng Pressure Balance Type Plug Valve
The Qisheng Pressure Balance Type Plug Valve is a heavy-duty solution designed to overcome the high torque and plug-seizing issues commonly associated with traditional plug valves in high-pressure services. By utilizing an inverted plug design and a pressure balancing mechanism, these valves ensure smooth operation even at differential pressures up to Class 2500. Whether in extreme oilfield conditions or high-stakes refinery pipelines, Qisheng provides the durability and precision required for critical flow control.
Advanced Engineering Advantages
- Pressure Balance Mechanism: The pressure balance design reduces the friction between the plug and the seat, significantly lowering the operating torque and preventing plug abrasion during opening and closing.
- Inverted Plug Design: The inverted plug is treated with advanced surface hardening to enhance wear resistance and ensure a long service life in abrasive or high-velocity media.
- Anti-Blowout Stem: Engineered with a high-safety stem structure that prevents ejection under internal pressure, fully conforming to API 6D and API 599 standards.
- Multiple O-Ring Sealing: Features a sophisticated multi-stage O-ring seal design at the stem to provide superior protection against external leakage.
- Emergency Sealant Injection: Equipped with sealant injection fittings for both the body and the stem, allowing for fast, in-line maintenance to restore tight shut-off in emergency conditions.
Typical Applications
Built for the most demanding environments, the Qisheng Pressure Balance Plug Valve is the preferred choice for:
- Oil & Gas Transmission: High-pressure crude oil and natural gas pipelines.
