What is a tapered plug valve?
A tapered plug valve is a type of plug valve which uses a tapered plug. Tapered plug valve manufacturers design the plug with one or more tapered ports. This valve operates by rotating the valve plug for 90ا degrees to control fluid flow. The fluid flows through the valve via the tapered holes on the valve plug. Tapered plug valves are very fast in operation since with only a quarter turn of the plug fluid can be blocked or allowed to flow through the valve. Tapered plug valves are of simple design and their cost is relatively lower compared to other valves. These valves can be operated by use of a manual handle or by using actuators. The actuators that can be used with these valves include electric, pneumatic and hydraulic actuators.
Components of a tapered plug valve
Handwheel
The handwheel or hand lever in a tapered plug valve is the part on which the valve operator holds to apply torque on the valve to open or close the fluid flow. This component is used in manually operated valves.
Actuator
The actuator is a component used on automatically or semi-automatically operated valves. The work of the actuator is to provide the automation and torque that is needed to operate the valve.
ينبع
This is the component of the valve that helps connect the valve plug to the handwheel or actuator. The stem helps to transmit the power needed to operate the valve from the actuator/handwheel to the valve plug. Tapered plug valve manufacturers machine the stem from high-strength materials such as carbon steel and stainless steel to make sure it is strong to withstand the torque needed to operate the valve.
سدادة الصمام
The valve plug is the component that is tasked with opening and closing fluid flow through the valve. The plug is powered by a handwheel/actuator via the stem.
مقعد
The seat is a component inside the tapered plug valve that provides a seal against the valve plug when the valve is closed. The seat can be made from different materials such as metallic, بلاستيك, لدن بالحرارة, أو المطاط. The type of material is very important as its properties determine where the valve can be used such as at high temperatures or in corrosive media.
جسم الصمام
The valve body is the component that contains the internal parts of the valve such as the seat, الأختام, and plug. Tapered plug valve manufacturers make the body using strong materials like stainless steel and carbon steel to ensure it is strong enough to protect internal parts against impact damage and high temperature and pressure.
غطاء الجسم
The body cover is a component mounted on top of the valve body. The two are connected using bolts and nuts. The body cover helps to prevent the entrance of dirt into the valve body as well as house seals that prevent fluid leakage through the stem.
طوقا
The gasket is used to prevent fluid leakage between the valve and the pipe as well as between the cover and the valve body.
How does a tapered plug valve work?
A tapered plug valve operates by rotating the handwheel for manual valves. For automatic valves, an actuator operates the valve by rotating the stem. لفتح الصمام, the handwheel is rotated in the clockwise direction. This rotation is transmitted by the valve stem to the valve plug. كما, the plug makes a quarter-turn rotation in the clockwise direction. بسبب هذا الدوران, the plug port becomes aligned to the valve port. كما, the valve becomes free and fluid starts flowing. To close the valve, the handwheel is rotated in the anticlockwise direction. This rotary motion from the handwheel is transmitted to the valve plug via the stem. This forces the plug port to rotate to be normal to the valve port blocking fluid flow. In this state, the valve is said to be closed.
This valve is also used in throttling fluid flow. In this case, the plug is rotated slightly for an angle of around 45ا degrees depending on the amount of flow rate needed. ومع ذلك, tapered plug valve manufacturers approve this valve for throttling use only if the piping system has a low-pressure drop. This is because when the valve is used for throttling, the pressure drop becomes extremely large unlike in other valves.
Types of tapered plug valves
Lubricated tapered plug valves
This is the type of tapered plug valve that uses lubricant. Tapered plug valve manufacturers use lubricant in these valves to make them easier to operate by reducing friction between the plug and the valve body. A layer of lubricant is placed between the plug and the body. The lubricant layer acts as a seal that also prevents fluid leakage. This valve has to be lubricated regularly as recommended by the tapered الشركة المصنعة لصمام التوصيل to enhance its service life. The lubricant used in this valve must also be able to withstand the fluid temperature as well as the media being transported. كما, the lubricant medium used should have chemical resistance, high resilience, and be able to maintain a waterproof seal around the valve body. The chemical resistance property helps to keep the valve and plug safe from corrosion. This type of valve can be used over a wide range of operating pressures and temperatures.

Non-lubricated tapered plug valve
This is the type of tapered plug valve which does not need to be lubricated. This type of valve is mostly used in applications that do not need a lot of pressure. Tapered plug valve manufacturers design this valve with a body sleeve or liner made from elastomers or thermoplastics such as PTFE. The liner or sleeve is mounted in the valve body cavity. كما, the plug compresses the sleeve against the body. This design helps to reduce friction between the plug and the valve body when the plug rotates. Tapered plug valve manufacturers use liners made from materials that are slippery making the valve suitable for use without lubricant film. This is advantageous compared to the lubricated type since it does not need regular maintenance and thus it helps to reduce maintenance costs. If you need to avoid regular maintenance of your tapered plug valve then the non-lubricated type is the best choice.

Multi-port tapered plug valve
This is the tapered plug valve which has more than two ports. This type of valve is meant for use in applications that need mixing or diversion of the fluid. لخلط السوائل, two or three fluid streams enter the valve and they get mixed inside the valve body. After they are mixed, they form one fluid stream that exits the valve via the outlet port. When the valve is used in fluid diversion one fluid stream enters the valve via the inlet port. The fluid direction of flow is then changed inside the valve body at an angle of around 90ا تخطى الى المحتوى. This design helps to cut down the cost of buying three or four gate valves to do the same task.

Jacketed tapered plug valves
This is a tapered plug valve that is designed with heating jackets. The heating jackets contain a hot fluid such as oil or steam. This heating media is used to provide heat to the fluid flowing through the valve to ensure its viscosity does not increase or it does not crystallize. Tapered plug valve manufacturers design this valve for use in applications that handle highly viscous fluids such as sulfur, coal tar, peanut, and bitumen among others.

Factors to consider when selecting/purchasing a tapered plug valve
- Fluid viscosity. Very viscous fluid may not work in a valve without heating jackets. Consult the tapered plug valve manufacturer or other valve experts to know if your application needs a jacketed valve.
- Fluid pressure. Excessive pressure may cause fluid leakage.
- Fluid temperature. For high temperatures, the valve seats and internal parts need to be made of metallic materials. For low temperatures, valve internal parts can be made of plastic or rubber.
- Type of media. For fluid that is very corrosive, the valve needs to be made of corrosion-resistant material like plastics or thermoplastics. For non-corrosive media, either plastic, rubber, or metallic material can work. ومع ذلك, consider the cheapest and most reliable option.

لذا
A tapered plug valve is a valve that uses a plug that has a tapered shape. Tapered plug valve manufacturers produce this valve from various materials making it suitable for use in wide pressure and temperature levels. This valve operates by turning the tapered plug for a quarter turn to start or stop fluid flow. The clockwise direction of rotation of the handle or actuator opens the valve while counterclockwise rotation closes the valve. This valve can be lubricated or non-lubricated. The lubricated type uses lubricant film between the plug and the body. The non-lubricated type uses a sleeve or liner between the body and the plug to reduce friction and thus wear on the plug.
