Control valves are essential components in industrial process control systems, used to regulate the flow, pressure, temperature, or level of fluids within pipelines. They operate by varying the size of the flow passage based on signals from controllers, enabling precise adjustments to process variables. This makes them critical for industries where accuracy and reliability are paramount, such as oil and gas, water treatment, power generation, and chemical processing. Depending on the application, control valves can be designed to handle liquids, gases, steam, or slurries, often incorporating advanced sealing and trim technologies to ensure durability and performance in challenging environments.
