Valves in Dubai

Valves are hardware devices which regulate, direct and control the flow of fluid and gas. They obstruct the flow of liquid or gas in a pipe by using a hollow spherical ball or other similar appliances. Valves are used in several applications such as irrigation, industrial use and residential use. They are equipped with an on-off switch which regulates pressure to wash dishes, clothes etc. They are used in sewage processing, mining, power generation, processing oil, gas, petroleum food manufacturing and chemical processing. They are resistant to corrosive substances and can hold high-pressure fluids. Plumbing valves, taps, gas control valves, pressure regulators, washing machine valve, dishwasher valve and electric heater valves are used in household appliances. They can be operated manually by a lever, automatically driven by a change in pressure, temperature or electronically activated with a computer system. They are equipped with a diaphragm or piston which activates the system. These diaphragms are mostly used in safety valves that are used in hot water systems or boilers. Automatic control valves use external input control systems which regulate the flow of liquid or gas using an actuator. This system allows the valve to be positioned accurately thereby controlling the flow of different fluids.

Valves which are classified on the basis of function are hydraulic, pneumatic, manual, solenoid valve and motor valve. Some basic types of valves include ball, butterfly, ceramic disc, clapper, check valve, choke, diaphragm valve, gate and globe valve. Other types include needle valve, knife valve, pinch valve, piston, plug, poppet, spool, thermal expansion valve, sampling tap, safety valve and two-headed valves. Valves which are designed to perform specific applications are aspin, ballcock, bibcock, blast valve, Boston, demand valve, double heat, double check, duckbill valve, flipper, flow control, Heimlich and four-way valve.

The basic ball valve is designed to ensure no drop in pressure and is best suited to perform quick shut-off operations. They do not need to be turned multiple times when compared to most manual valves. Butterfly valves are commonly used to regulate the flow of liquid in pipes with large diameters. Ceramic disc valves are best suited to perform heavy-duty operations and are strong enough to withstand abrasive fluids and corrosive acids. A Clapper valve is used in appliances which support single hose connection. Valves are known for their durability and can be operated in extreme climatic conditions. Some popular locations to get in touch with companies which sell valves in Dubai are Sheikh Zayed Road, Deira, Silicon Oasis, Al Rigga, Old Steel Mill Road, Umm Ramool, Rashidiya, Al Ghuasis Industrial area, Al Quoz Industrial Area, Ras Al Khor, Naif road, Al Gahoud and Citadel Tower Business bay.
