5 essential questions for industrial valve selection
Quick answer
Size alone is not enough. We consider medium, temperature, differential pressure, connections and sealing requirements together.
1. What must the valve do?
Isolation, continuous control, reverse-flow prevention and pressure relief need different designs. Define the function before choosing a family.
2. What is the medium?
Besides liquid, gas or steam, consider chemistry, solids and viscosity. Both body and sealing materials must suit the medium.
3. What are the operating conditions?
Ranges cover different configurations within the product family. Maximum pressure and temperature do not apply simultaneously; verify the material and pressure–temperature rating for the selected configuration.
4. What piping and connections?
Check DN/NPS, flanged or welded ends, face-to-face length and orientation against the piping. Allow access for maintenance and the actuator.
5. What control and documents?
We clarify material, configuration and required tests or documents at quotation stage, keeping product documentation aligned with the project.
