RT: In the chemical industry, where are angle valves generally used, and what is their function? I appreciate your guidance.
Angle valves are generally used at points where the pipeline makes a 90-degree turn
The device is quite compact, with the valves installed in relatively small spaces.
It’s often used to empty things completely; it takes up no space and allows for the easy adjustment of the discharge direction
It is necessary to change the direction of the material, and variable control can be applied to the flow rate in the medium.
Some are used for reducing pressure, some for changing the direction of the material, and others for regulating flow
Places with high pressure, such as the indirect blowdown valve in the boiler drum
It is generally used in process pipelines under high pressure, and can be applied at locations where the pipeline needs to turn.
I haven’t designed or chosen angle valves myself; all I’ve seen are those that come built into the units
I know; generally, at the outlet of the oil and gas field wellhead, there is a high-pressure angle valve used for reducing pressure.
What do angle valves generally look like? Does anyone know how it works?
