How to Choose the Right Industrial Control Valve

Choosing the Right Control Valve

Selecting the correct control valve helps improve process stability, safety and operating efficiency.

Consider the application

Start with the fluid type, pressure, temperature, flow rate and required level of control accuracy.

Choose the valve type

Globe valves are commonly used for precise throttling, while butterfly and ball valves can be suitable for larger flow applications.

Check actuator compatibility

Select pneumatic, electric or hydraulic actuation based on the available utilities and required response time.
