We are surrounded by valves everywhere in our life.
The taps in your house, the air conditioner in your room, gas control valves on cookers, the pipelines under your streets, the commercial buildings, the industrial facilities, power plants, refineries, and many more have valves in them.

Valves are an essential part of any many mechanical devices you use. Valves are devices used to control the flow of liquids, gasses, and slurries in mechanical devices. It is like the door that allows and obstructs materials to flow from one side to another.

Machines make our job more manageable, and valves make sure machines work effectively.
By maintaining the proper flow of media, valves ensure the safe and efficient working of the systems. Valves can be found in many daily-usage machines, and they perform a variety of
functions. Their main functions are to stop and start flow, control flow, and act as a non-return check for discharge.

There are different types of valves like Knife Gate valves,
Solenoid valves, Iris valves, Butterfly valves, Check Valves, etc. Every valve is differently designed based on the characteristics
of the different applications and their pressures. Thus, each industry uses various valves.

Valves play an essential role in residential applications and industries that use sophisticated automated systems and pipelines to work efficiently. They can be used in many industries like the oil and gas
industry, chemical industry, food industry, marine industry, farming industry, and the list goes on and on.
If you belong to any of these industries, you need to take a look into the uses of valves in them:
Oil and Gas industry
The oil and gas industry is one of the significant industries having big and long pipelines. Regulation and transportation of various oils and gasses are made on a large scale due to their increase in demand day by day. Thus, it becomes essential to have severe, strong, well-built, and high-performance valves to regulate the flow of oil sand gases throughout the pipelines. Control Valves, Butterfly Valves, and Ball Valves are used specifically for this industry.

Chemical Industry
We have come across many cases of chemical leakage and the damage caused by it. If not maintained efficiently, chemicals can be very hazardous to nature and people living in the vicinity.
In many chemical processing applications, valves must be competent to operate in extremely harsh environments.
The valves are designed to handle brutal acidic, corrosive, abrasive, and other hazardous conditions, avoid damage to surrounding equipment from leakage, and, most importantly, keep hazardous media within the system and safeguard personnel’s safety. Control Valves, Knife Edge Gate Valve, Motorised Knife Gate Valves, are used in the chemical industry.

Food and Beverage Industry
The food and beverage industry is continuously growing, and consequently, the need for sophisticated parts to keep the power plants running is increasing. Valves for these industries need to be precise
and high on safety concerns with respect to food and have strict material
requirements in making of the valves. Different types of valves are used like Solenoid Valves, Sanitary Ball Valves, Irish
Valves, etc., are used to keep
your food processing safe from any bacteria infiltrations and ensure smooth working applications.

Marine Industry
Valves play a vital role in the efficient working of the marine industry. As the ship’s designs grow more and more sophisticated, strong and tough valves are required to regulate the loading and the storage of the ship’s power supply, maintain water for handling and processing wastewater, and store liquid cargo. Valves used for the marine industry need to be durable and long-lasting as the ship has to sail a long way ahead.

Agriculture and Farming Industry
The agriculture industry is advancing in technology, making it easier and beneficial for the farmers and producers to make out the best from farming. Solenoid Valves are used in modern agriculture during irrigation to control the flow of water and pesticides being sprayed on the ground. The use of trustworthy transport systems controlled by valves is an essential part of the modern farming industry. Iris Valves and Control
Valves are also used for multiple purposes in the agriculture industry.

Residential purposes
Many applications that we use in our daily lives have valves in them. Solenoid valves are used in refrigeration
systems, which help reverse the flow of refrigerants, making it cool during
summer and heated during winter. Solenoid valves can also be found in
dishwashers, washing machines to control water flow and in AC systems to control pressure.

Right from a simple lock system for doors to complex machines used in power plants, valves play a vital role in controlling the flow of gases, liquids, and slurries of the automated systems for us.

Do you notice the valves we come across in everyday life?

New inventions in technologies have made our daily lives more comfortable and luxurious. Right from the shower in our house to the big pipelines in the industries, the developments in technology have made it easier to flow all resources right at our doorstep.

But have you ever wondered what regulates the flow of resources? You just have to close the knob of a tap to stop the water from flowing. But what works behind the screen to make it stop?
It’s the valves.

Valves play a significant role in our lives than we think. From the taps, ACs in your house to pipelines and big machinery used in the industries, valves are everywhere.

Fluidtecq is a privately owned firm that engages in the manufacturing and exporting of a variety of valves and automatic actuators. Their precision in automation and instrumentation of pneumatic products is serving numerous industrial machinery applications in diverse industries.

What are Valves?
Valves are mechanical equipment used to control the flow of fluids and gases in pipelines, machines, and sophisticated automated systems. They perform the functions of reducing or increasing the flow, starting or stopping the flow, controlling the direction of flow, and relieving certain pressure in pipelines. Valves can be either operated manually or by a pedal, wheel, etc. Different valves perform differently to suit the needs of the machines and industries.

Valves Automation:
Valves that don’t need to be operated manually are known as automated valves. These valves are operated based on pneumatics, hydraulics, electrically, or combining all of these. Fluidtecq specializes in providing automated valves that help in the smooth
working of the applications.

Why are valves necessary?
Valves can be seen in nearly every industrial process to regulate the flow of gases, liquids, and slurries in the pipelines and heavy machinery. We have come across many chemical or gas leakage cases in the factories, leading to colossal damage to life and property in that area. One small flaw in the valve can lead to catastrophe for the industry and lead to heavy loss and damage of property and people.

Hence, well-built and tough valves are necessary for the smooth & safe functioning of the machines. With the state-of-the-art infrastructure and world-class designing facilities, Fluidtecq manufactures
high capacity and long-lasting valves and automated valves to suit the clients’ requirements.

Types of Valves:
There are different types of valves according to varying types of applications and machines that perform various functions. Some of them are as follows:

1)Gate Valves:
Gate valves are used to regulate the flow of liquids that flow through the pipelines. Starting and stopping the flow of any fluids is done by affixing the valves to the pipelines. Gate valves can be generally found in houses and commercial centres. They help in saving energy and thus reducing the total cost of the industries. They are very suitable for high temperatures and high-pressure conditions.
Fluidtecq’s Knife edge Gate Valves and Pneumatic Knife Gate Valves are designed in such a way that assures non-clogging shutoff on the suspended solids. Thus, they can be used for slurry lines, handling the sludge and viscous media, dry solid and powder, etc. Knife Edge Gate valves can be used in industries like Paper Power Plants, Chemical
Plants, Steel Plants, etc.

2) Solenoid Valves:
Solenoid Valves are controlled electrically. They can be used for clean liquids and gases. They are used to open, close, distribute, or mix media within two or more inlets or outlets. Control flow applications required electronically operated valves to start or stop the flow and control the fluids in the system. These valves can be commonly found in heating systems, vacuums, compressed air, car washes, etc.

Fluidtecq provides you with highly flexible modular designs with diverse choice materials to suit your industry needs. We manufacture high-quality Solenoid valves that are highly reliable and
