KBS Valve provides control valve solutions in Andhra Pradesh for industrial applications requiring accurate regulation of flow, pressure, temperature, and liquid level.
As a critical final control element in process automation, a control valve responds to signals from a control system and adjusts fluid flow to support stable, efficient operations.
A control valve is one of the most important components in an industrial process. It acts as the final control element, automatically adjusting process flow based on the signal received from the control system.
What Is a Control Valve?
- A control valve automatically regulates the flow of liquids, gases, steam, or other process media.
- It receives signals from a controller, distributed control system, or programmable logic controller.
- An actuator adjusts the valve opening to maintain the desired process conditions.
- Its primary purpose is accurate, reliable control within an automated industrial process.
Common Control Valve Types
- Globe control valve: Provides precise throttling and stable regulation across demanding process conditions.
- Ball control valve: Supports high-flow applications requiring effective modulation and dependable operation.
- Butterfly control valve: Offers a compact, economical solution for larger pipelines and high-capacity systems.
- Diaphragm control valve: Suits corrosive fluids, hygienic processes, and pharmaceutical applications.
Process Parameters Controlled
- Flow: Maintains the required flow rate across industrial pipelines and process systems.
- Pressure: Helps regulate upstream or downstream pressure.
- Temperature: Controls heating and cooling through steam, water, or thermal-fluid regulation.
- Level: Maintains appropriate liquid levels in tanks, vessels, and process equipment.
