Structure & Sealing Principle
Plug Valve Basic Structure
A metal-seated plug valve features a robust construction designed for demanding industrial applications. The NTGD plug valve consists of several key components that work together to deliver reliable sealing and flow control:
- Plug Body: The plug, typically cylindrical or tapered, rotates within the valve body to start or stop fluid flow. Its precise movement ensures accurate regulation.
- Valve Seat: The seat provides a hardened surface for the plug to seal against, forming the core of the hard-seal plug valve’s leak-tight performance.
- Actuator: This mechanism, which may be manual, electric, or pneumatic, operates the plug to open or close the valve efficiently.
The closing process involves the actuator rotating the plug so it presses tightly against the valve seat. This direct metal-to-metal contact is essential for preventing fluid leakage and maintaining the safety and integrity of the pipeline system. The NTGD plug valve’s structure supports stable operation even under fluctuating pressure and temperature.
Metal-to-metal Seat & Materials
Body, Plug, and Sealing Face Options
NTGD selects materials for each component based on the application’s temperature, pressure, and media requirements. The valve body and plug are available in carbon steel, stainless steel (304, 316), duplex stainless steel, and abrasion-resistant alloys. The sealing face uses a metal-to-metal seat, which is critical for high-temperature and abrasive service. This design resists deformation and wear, even when exposed to aggressive fluids or thermal cycling.
The choice of material directly impacts the valve’s durability and sealing performance. NTGD engineers recommend AR400 or similar alloys for slurry, abrasive, or high-wear applications.
Surface Treatments & Seat Hardness
To further enhance sealing reliability, NTGD applies advanced surface treatments to the plug and seat. Options include hardfacing, nitriding, or overlay welding, which increase surface hardness and resistance to galling or erosion. These treatments ensure the hard-seal plug valve maintains a tight seal and long service life, even in the harshest environments.
Connection Types (Flanged, Welded, Threaded)
NTGD offers a range of connection types to suit diverse pipeline systems:
Flanged connections provide versatility and strength, making them ideal for high-pressure or critical service.
