Frequently Asked Questions

A steam valve controls the flow of steam within a system. It regulates pressure, temperature, and flow rate to ensure the steam is distributed efficiently and safely.

Common types include globe valves, ball valves, gate valves, and butterfly valves. Each serves a different function, such as throttling flow, isolation, or directional control.

Yes, steam valves are specifically designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures typical in steam applications. Materials like stainless steel and PTFE seats enhance durability and performance.

Consider factors such as pressure, temperature, flow requirements, and the type of medium. Consulting a specialist is recommended to ensure you select the best valve for your specific needs.

Globe valves offer precise throttling control and are highly reliable in handling high-pressure steam. Their design minimises leakage and ensures consistent flow regulation.

Regular maintenance includes checking for leaks, inspecting seals, and ensuring the valve’s operation is smooth. Preventive maintenance can extend the valve's lifespan and optimize system performance.

Yes, butterfly valves, especially those with PTFE seats like the TTV range, are suitable for steam systems. They offer excellent sealing capabilities and are used in low- to medium-pressure steam applications.

Stainless steel valves provide excellent resistance to corrosion, high temperatures, and wear, making them ideal for harsh environments and steam applications that demand longevity and reliability.

A steam trap removes condensate and non-condensable gases from the steam system without letting steam escape, ensuring the system operates efficiently.

Yes, many steam valves can be automated using electric or pneumatic actuators for remote control and more precise system management, reducing manual intervention and enhancing safety.

Pressure-reducing valves automatically lower the pressure from a higher inlet to a desired lower outlet pressure, helping protect downstream equipment and ensuring stable system operation.

Cavitation occurs when steam valves operate at high pressures, causing bubbles to form and collapse inside the valve. This can damage the valve over time. Using the correct valve type and size can prevent cavitation issues.
