A Teflon Lined Plug Valve is designed with a PTFE, PFA, or FEP lining to protect against corrosion, abrasion, and chemical degradation. It is commonly used in industries handling aggressive, corrosive, or abrasive fluids to ensure longevity, leak-proof operation, and smooth flow control.
PTFE / PFA Lined Plug Valve
A PTFE / PFA lined Plug valve is a specialized flow control device designed to regulate the movement of fluids through pipelines, particularly in industries handling corrosive or high-purity substances. Typically constructed from materials like stainless steel or cast iron (BS 5158:1989) internally lined with Low Porosity PTFE / PFA to meet design Standards. This lining provides exceptional chemical resistance and a low friction coefficient, ensuring smooth operation and enhanced durability. The valve's core component, the plug, Comes with PTFE / Teflon and features a cylindrical or tapered shape with a transverse opening. Rotating the plug 90 degrees aligns or obstructs the flow passage, allowing for quick and efficient flow control.
The lining is applied using transfer molding, which guarantees a smooth, seamless finish and is securely locked into place using machined dovetail grooves. This innovative PTFE / PFA Lined Plug Valve design prevents liner collapse under vacuum conditions and blowouts under high-pressure and high-temperature environments, ensuring superior performance and durability. Additionally, Teflon’s low coefficient of friction reduces wear and tear, minimizing maintenance requirements and ensuring smooth operation. The design allows for accurate fluid flow control, essential in many industrial processes. Furthermore, they are easy to clean and maintain, making them ideal for industries with strict hygiene requirements.
One of the key features of PTFE Lined Plug Valve is its cavity-free design. Both the open and closed positions are designed to eliminate areas where particles can accumulate, preventing blockages and contamination. This makes the valve ideal for applications where corrosive slurries and aggressive media are handled. By ensuring reliable flow control in demanding applications, lined plug valves support sustainable industrial practices and help maintain the integrity of critical processes. Lined / Sleeved plug valves are available in various configurations & sizes, including Full Port Plug Valve, two-way (straight-through) and three-way designs, to accommodate different flow control of chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment industry.
