Description

Lubricated Plug Valves

A lubricated plug valve is designed for reliable flow isolation in industrial piping systems. It uses a tapered or cylindrical plug with a passage through the body. Lubricant is supplied to the plug and seating area to support smooth operation and reduce friction during opening and closing.

Unitek Valves manufactures and supplies plug valve solutions for demanding industrial services. Valve selection can be based on size, pressure class, temperature, media, material, end connection, and applicable standards.

Lubricated Plug Valves for Industrial Applications

Lubricated plug valves are commonly used in oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power generation, and pipeline systems. Their robust construction makes them suitable for applications requiring dependable isolation and frequent operation.

An industrial lubricated plug valve can be configured for different pressure and temperature conditions. Proper material and sealing selection helps achieve reliable performance according to the service requirements.

Full Port and Flanged Designs

A full port lubricated plug valve provides a passage that closely matches the pipeline bore. This configuration can help minimize flow restriction and pressure loss in suitable applications.

A flanged lubricated plug valve uses flanged ends for connection to the pipeline. Flanged construction is commonly selected for industrial installations where secure connections and convenient maintenance are required.

Material Options

A carbon steel lubricated plug valve can provide suitable strength for many industrial and hydrocarbon applications. Stainless steel lubricated plug valves are considered where greater corrosion resistance is required for compatible process media.

Cast steel lubricated plug valves can be used in a range of industrial services where robust valve construction and suitable pressure performance are required.

High Pressure and High Temperature Service

A high pressure lubricated plug valve should be selected according to the required pressure class, operating temperature, and process conditions. Body, plug, lubricant, seals, and other components should be compatible with the service.

For elevated-temperature applications, a high temperature lubricated plug valve can be specified with suitable materials and sealing arrangements. Actual operating conditions should be confirmed before valve selection.

Oil and Gas and Pipeline Applications

A lubricated plug valve for oil and gas can be used for isolation in production, processing, transmission, storage, and related systems. Its lubricated seating arrangement can support smooth plug movement during operation.

A lubricated plug valve for pipeline applications can be selected for suitable transmission and distribution systems. Pressure rating, media compatibility, and applicable pipeline standards should be considered.

API and Fire-Safe Options

An API lubricated plug valve can be specified where applicable API requirements are part of the project specification. A fire safe lubricated plug valve may be selected for services where fire-safe performance is required.

A metal seated lubricated plug valve can be considered for demanding applications where the seating arrangement must withstand specific operating conditions.

Lubricated Plug Valve Manufacturer in India

Lubricated Plug Valves are robust quarter-turn valves designed for reliable on-off flow isolation in industrial piping systems. The valve uses a tapered or cylindrical plug that rotates inside the body to control the flow of liquids and gases. A specially designed lubrication system reduces friction between the plug and body, helping to ensure smooth operation, reduced wear and dependable sealing performance.

Our Lubricated Plug Valves are available in screwed and flanged end configurations and can be supplied in different body, trim and sealing materials according to the process fluid, pressure, temperature and service requirements. These valves are widely used in oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical, power, water treatment and general industrial applications.
