Needle Valves

Needle valves are valves that used for fluid flow regulation in a hydraulic system. The needle-shaped plunger inside ensures the precise control of the fluids flow. The plunger will retract when the handle is turned on, which will give way for the fluids to flow in between the seat and plunger. A few turns must be made to the handle, to retract the plunger, to ensure precise flow regulation. Needle valves are used in industries that required precise control or metering of fluids such as oil, water, and gas. However, needles valve are not suitable for normal shutoff applications .

Threaded End SS316 Needle Valve

Commonly used materials for needle valves are Steel and Stainless Steel SS316. Stainless steel needle valves are used for corrosive handling, sampling systems and chemical processing applications, to name a few. While, steel material needle valves are commonly used in oil and gas, refineries, chemical, and water and wastewater industries.

Needle valve sizes are range from 1/8" to 1" and working pressure are available in 350 Bars , 6000 PSI , and 10,000 PSI. It is good to note that the working pressure may vary depending on the temperature, as higher temperature results in lower working pressure.

Threaded End Steel MHA Needle Valve

There are 2 available connections for needle valves namely NPT (National Pipe Thread) and BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel) , and it comes in two variations, which is the Bar Stock Needle Valve design and Bonnet Needle Valve design.

Needle Valves can be found in the IMPA Marine Stores Guide, which is the world’s leading reference guide for maritime purchasing and supply.
