Valvesonly is a leading Lubricated plug valve manufacturer in USA. To initiate or stop the flow of the medium, a lubricated plug valve with a tapered or cylindrical plug is utilized. This type of valve has a lubricated plug inside it. These valves' lubricant minimizes the force necessary to open and close them, allowing for smooth plug movement. They can withstand high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. It's also built of corrosion-resistant materials to keep the valve from corroding. To minimise friction and seal ports, the Lubricated Plug Valve uses a lubricant made up of base oil and viscosity improver that is injected under pressure between the body seat and plug face. The valves must also be resealed after just a few cycles, although in some cases, after each cycle, since this lubricant is appropriate for the process fluid. While there are four different types of plug valves, the two most common are lubricated and non-lubricated plug valves. The lubricated plug valves work well in processes that use fluids and carry slightly abrasive particles, such as dirty upstream applications, gas pipeline systems that include bypass valves, and as blow-down and kicker valves on valve stations. This type of valve has a lubricated plug. These valves' lubricant minimises the force necessary to open and close them, allowing for smooth plug movement. They can withstand high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. LUBRICATED PLUG VALVE V/S NON-LUBRICATED PLUG VALVE: • Lubricated plug valves differ from non-lubricated plug valves in that they have a lubricating system that restores the valve seat without the need to remove the valve, increasing the valve seat's life. Lubricated plug valves are also advantageous since the lubricant reduces the needed operating torque while minimizing plug leakage. • Non-lubricated plug valves are typically used for lower pressure lines, and their valve seats deteriorate faster than lubricated plug valves due to wear and tear from dust, dirt, and other debris. Plug valves that aren't oiled. Because they require less maintenance, non-lubricated plug valves are frequently preferred over lubricated plug valves. Advantages of Lubricated Plug valve: • It also prevents rusting on the sitting surface. • It also serves as a lubricant, reducing the amount of force needed to operate the valve. • Lubricant pressure raises the plug from the seat for a brief duration, making it easier to turn. • Furthermore, the high pressure ensures that no particulates are trapped between the valve body and the stopper.

Lubricated Plug Valve Applications: • Lubricated Plug valves are often employed in low-pressure, low-temperature applications, while there are also some high-pressure, high-temperature variants. • Lubricated Plug valves are high-capacity valves that can be utilised to control directional flow even in low-vacuum systems. • Lubricated Plug valves are capable of handling both gas and liquid fuel. • Lubricated Plug valves are capable of securely handling high-temperature flow, such as boiler feed water, condensate, and other similar components. • Lubricated Plug valves are used to control the flow of liquids that contain suspended solids, such as slurries.
