Valves play a critical role in industrial fluid handling systems by controlling flow, pressure, and direction across a wide range of applications. Used throughout transport, agriculture, processing, manufacturing, and utilities, valves are fundamental to safe, efficient, and reliable system operation.

Different valve types are designed to meet specific operational requirements. Shut-off and isolation valves allow flow to be started or stopped safely, while control valves regulate flow rates and system pressure. Non-return valves prevent backflow and protect equipment, and pressure relief valves provide essential safety by automatically releasing excess pressure when limits are exceeded.

Selecting the correct valve depends on factors such as the type of media being handled, operating pressure and temperature, system layout, and industry standards. When properly specified, valves help maintain system integrity, reduce downtime, and ensure long-term performance in demanding industrial environments.
