value added equals the difference between an industry's gross output.
NAICS Code(s)332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing)
Valve stem packing is used to prevent leaks around the valve stem in industrial valves. It helps maintain a tight seal, which is crucial for the efficient operation of valves by preventing the loss of fluids or gases. This ensures that the valve functions properly and minimizes the risk of equipment damage or safety hazards.
In 2000 the average wage for the industrial valve industry was $15.07
Valve packing rope is used in industrial applications to create a seal around valves, preventing leaks of liquids or gases. It is made of flexible materials like graphite or PTFE, and is wrapped around the valve stem to fill gaps and prevent fluid from escaping. This helps maintain the efficiency and safety of the equipment.
A GE valve refers to a valve manufactured by General Electric, a multinational conglomerate known for producing a wide range of industrial equipment, including valves used in power plants, oil refineries, and other industrial applications. These valves are designed to control the flow of liquids or gases in various systems to ensure smooth operation and safety.
An SNDR valve, or "Smart Non-Destructive Readout" valve, is a type of valve used in various industrial applications for controlling fluid flow. It typically features advanced monitoring and diagnostic capabilities, allowing for real-time data collection on valve performance without interrupting the flow. This technology enhances efficiency and helps in predictive maintenance by providing insights into the operational status of the valve system.
Valves first began taking a modern bent in design with the introduction of Thomas Newcomen's industrial steam engine in 1705.
Graphite packing for valves in industrial applications offers benefits such as high temperature resistance, chemical compatibility, and low friction, which help to ensure reliable and efficient valve operation.
A reverse acting solenoid valve is a type of valve that operates in the opposite manner of a standard solenoid valve. In this configuration, when electrical current is applied to the solenoid, it causes the valve to close instead of open, and vice versa when the current is removed. This design is often used in applications requiring fail-safe operations, where the valve should default to a closed position in the absence of power. Reverse acting solenoid valves are commonly found in systems such as HVAC, fluid control, and industrial automation.
A Fisher Valve Position refers to the position of a control valve manufactured by Fisher, a brand known for its valve and actuator technology. The valve position indicates how open or closed the valve is, which is crucial for controlling fluid flow in various industrial applications. Accurate positioning is essential for process control, ensuring optimal performance and safety in systems such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and water treatment. The position can be monitored and adjusted using various control systems to maintain desired process parameters.
If a valve fails, it can lead to various operational issues, such as leaks, loss of pressure, or complete system shutdown. In fluid systems, a failing valve may allow uncontrolled flow, leading to potential safety hazards or equipment damage. In industrial applications, this can result in costly downtime and repairs. Regular maintenance and monitoring are essential to prevent valve failure and ensure system reliability.
An eccentric plug valve features off-center plug design for improved sealing, reduced wear, and efficient flow control in industrial pipelines.
