United Valves offers a comprehensive selection of valves tailored to the unique challenges of the oil and gas industry:
- Ball Valves: These valves provide quick shut-off capabilities and are ideal for on/off control in high-pressure applications. Their design allows for minimal flow resistance, making them suitable for a variety of fluids.
- Gate Valves: Used primarily for isolation, gate valves allow for a straight-line flow of fluid with minimal obstruction. They are commonly employed in pipelines where a full flow is needed.
- Check Valves: These prevent backflow in piping systems, ensuring that fluids flow in one direction. They are crucial for protecting pumps and other equipment from damage caused by reverse flow.
- Pressure Relief Valves: Safety is paramount in the oil and gas industry. These valves prevent excessive pressure build-up in systems, protecting both equipment and personnel.
