Control Valves

Control valves automatically regulate flow, pressure, temperature or liquid level by varying the size of the flow passage in response to a signal from a controller. Navjivan Valves supplies pneumatically actuated control valves across globe, butterfly and ball-type control valve bodies for process automation applications.

Product Overview

Where an on/off isolation valve simply stops or starts flow, a control valve modulates continuously between open and closed to hold a process variable — flow, pressure, temperature or level — at a required setpoint. Selecting the right control valve involves matching the valve type, size, pressure and temperature rating, and flow characteristic (linear, equal-percentage or quick-opening) to the specific process duty.

Types

Types of Control Valves

Globe-Body Control Valves — Navjivan Valves

Globe-Body Control Valves

The most common control valve body style, offering good throttling characteristics and a wide range of trim options for demanding process duty.

Butterfly-Type Control Valves — Navjivan Valves

Butterfly-Type Control Valves

A compact, lightweight option for larger line sizes and lower pressure-drop applications, particularly in water and HVAC systems.

Ball-Type Control Valves — Navjivan Valves

Ball-Type Control Valves

Offer high capacity in a compact envelope and are well suited to applications with entrained solids or where tight shut-off combined with control is required.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a control valve different from an isolation valve?
An isolation valve (like a gate or ball valve) is designed to be fully open or fully closed. A control valve is designed to modulate continuously between those positions to hold a process variable at a target setpoint.
What flow characteristic should I choose?
Linear characteristics suit applications where pressure drop across the valve stays fairly constant; equal-percentage characteristics suit systems where pressure drop varies significantly with flow; quick-opening is used where maximum flow is needed quickly, such as some safety or on/off-with-modulation applications. Your process engineer's valve sizing calculation should confirm the right choice.
What standards apply to control valve sizing?
Control valve terminology follows ANSI/ISA-75.01.01, while sizing calculations follow ISA-S75.03.
