Product Description
Cage Guided Valve
Cage Guided Valve refers to a type of valve design that incorporates a cage-like structure to guide the movement of the valve plug or disc. This cage provides stability and support to the moving part, ensuring precise alignment and reducing the risk of vibration or flutter during operation.
The cage is typically positioned around the valve plug or disc, and it may be an integral part of the valve body or a separate component installed within the valve. The cage-guided design is commonly used in control valves and other applications where precise flow control is required.
Benefits of Cage Guided Valves:
Enhanced Control: The cage helps to center the valve plug or disc within the valve body, resulting in improved control over the flow of fluids or gases. This design minimizes potential leaks and provides better shut-off capabilities.
Reduced Vibrations: Cage guided valves are less prone to vibrations and are more stable during operation, which can extend the valve's lifespan and reduce maintenance requirements.
Increased Service Life: The guiding effect of the cage reduces wear and tear on the sealing surfaces, leading to longer service life and improved reliability.
Anti-Cavitation and Noise Reduction: The cage design can help mitigate cavitation, a phenomenon where vapor bubbles collapse and cause damage to the valve components. It also aids in reducing noise levels during valve operation.
Cage guided valves are widely used in various industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, water treatment, and more, where precise flow control and reliability are critical requirements.
