Choosing the Right Sleeve Valve
Sleeve valves are selected based on the devices system pressure, flow rate, and the fluid to be controlled. In making a selection, industries consider the following factors for a sleeve valve:
- Material Compatibility: Check whether the valve will not corrode or suffer a chemical attack based on the fluid that will pass.
- Pressure and Temperature Ratings: A valve that can safely operate under pre-defined conditions must be selected.
- Size and Flow Capacity: Ensure the selected size allows proper fluid control and pressure drops.
- Operational Efficiency: Enhanced system integration can be achieved through features such as automatic control.
