Control Valve
UAE Valves is a trusted Control Valve Supplier in Dubai, delivering engineered solutions for accurate flow, pressure, and temperature regulation across critical industries. Our control valves are designed to ensure smooth modulation and tight shutoff, helping facilities in oil and gas, power, water treatment, and refining achieve safe, reliable, and efficient operations.
How Control Valves Work
A control valve works as the regulator in an automated loop. Guided by a controller, the actuator moves internal trim such as a plug, ball, or disc to adjust the flow area inside the valve body. This ensures the system delivers the right amount of fluid at the right time, reducing pressure swings, improving energy use, and supporting consistent plant performance.
Control Valve Benefits
- Precise and repeatable flow control for stable operations.
- Durable materials and coatings to withstand corrosion and wear.
- Smooth actuation with low operating torque for efficient automation.
- Trim designs that reduce noise and mitigate cavitation.
- Seamless integration with plant instrumentation and control systems.
Types of Control Valves
- Electric Actuated Control Valve – suited for advanced automation with electronic actuation and remote monitoring.
