South American valve is a reputed Eccentric Plug valve supplier in Brazil. A Rotary control valve style features a plug-shaped, flow-restricting member that follows an eccentric path during rotation. The plug remains away from its seat until it approaches the shutoff position within a few degrees. Upon contact or "camming" into the seat, the plug and seat dynamically align their surfaces to achieve a tight shutoff. This type of valve is also known as a rotary globe valve. Unlike other plug valves, the eccentric plug valve's plug follows an eccentric path as it rotates. This design ensures that the plug has no contact with its seat until it reaches a few degrees from the shutoff position. When the plug cams into the seat, the seating surfaces dynamically align to achieve a tight shutoff. This unique design and operation make eccentric plug valves well-suited for various flow control applications.
What is the purpose of an Eccentric Plug valve?
Its unique design, with a plug that follows an eccentric path as it rotates, allows for precise and reliable flow control. The eccentric plug valve is particularly suitable for applications where a tight shutoff is required, as the plug contacts the seat only when it is very close to the shutoffposition. This design also helps to reduce wear and extend the valve's lifespan. Additionally, the eccentric plug valve can handle fluids with suspended solids or high viscosity, making it versatile for a wide range of industries and applications.
