Angle Control Valves Series 170

Angle Control Valves are utilised across multiple industries due to their ability to efficiently manage flow direction and control. They are particularly beneficial in scenarios where pipeline design requires a 90-degree turn, eliminating the need for additional fittings and reducing potential leak points. Industries that commonly employ Control Valves include:

• Oil and Gas Production
• Chemical Processing
• Power Generation
• Water Treatment

To accommodate various fluids and operating conditions, Angle Control Valves are manufactured from a range of materials, each selected for its specific properties:

• Carbon Steel: Ideal for high-temperature and high-pressure applications, offering strength and durability.
• Chrome-Moly Steel: Provides enhanced resistance to corrosion and oxidation and is suitable for high-temperature services.
• Stainless Steel: Offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including those involving corrosive fluids.
• Monel: A nickel-copper alloy known for its superior resistance to seawater and chemicals, ideal for marine and chemical processing applications.
• Alloy 20: Designed for applications involving sulfuric acid, this alloy offers exceptional corrosion resistance.
• Hastelloy B/C: Nickel-molybdenum alloys that provide excellent resistance to hydrochloric acid and other strongly reducing chemicals.
• Duplex Stainless Steel: Combines high strength with exceptional corrosion resistance, suitable for aggressive environments.
• Aluminium Bronze: Known for its high strength and resistance to corrosion, particularly in marine environments.

The performance of Angle Control Valves is significantly influenced by the type of actuator employed. Actuators facilitate the movement of the valve’s internal components, enabling precise control over fluid flow. Compatible actuators include:

• Diaphragm Actuators: Utilise air pressure to move the diaphragm, offering smooth and precise control, commonly used in low-pressure applications.
• Piston Actuators: Designed for high-pressure applications, these actuators provide greater force and are suitable for demanding environments.
• Electric Actuators: Offer precise control and are ideal for applications requiring automation and remote operation.

Angle Control Valves with a top-entry design provide significant maintenance advantages by allowing internal components to be accessed and serviced, without removing the valve from the pipeline. This design minimises operational interruptions by reducing downtime, as maintenance tasks can be performed more quickly.

Angle Control Valves are built for severe service conditions, including high pressures, extreme temperatures, and corrosion. Their durability comes from robust materials like Hastelloy and Duplex Stainless Steel, precision engineering, and specialised coatings such as Stellite for added wear resistance. These features ensure reliability and longevity in critical applications.

To ensure compatibility with various piping systems, Angle Control Valves are available with multiple end connection types, including:

• Flanged Ends: Provide a secure and leak-proof connection, facilitating easy installation and removal.
• Hubbed Ends: Offer a compact design suitable for high-pressure applications, ensuring a tight seal.
• Butt Weld Ends: Create a seamless connection, reducing potential leak points, and are ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature systems.
