Angle Valves
Angle Valve is a manually operated valve with its outlet opening oriented at right angles to its inlet opening; used for regulating the flow of a fluid in a pipe.It is a valve for controlling the flow of a liquid or air; the fluid leaves at right angles to the direction in which it enters the valve.
Angle Valves are important industrial fittings, deriving their name from the the 90º configuration of inlet and outlet ports. Metallic angle valves in material such as stainless steel, bronze, brass are used for cryogenic applications requiring extreme temperatures, ranging from 450º to -250ºC. High quality of materials used and workmanship ensure longevity and trouble-free service of these valves.
Method of operation
Sometimes referred to as air-operated angle seat valves or externally operated valves, angle valves are operated by a pressurised pilot medium, often air.The valve features a Pneumatic Actuators. The pilot medium flows into the actuator cylinder under pressure and causes the piston to act so that the seat seal opens or closes permitting or prohibiting flow.
