UNDERSTANDING MANIFOLD VALVES: 2 VALVE, 3 VALVE AND 5 VALVE MANIFOLDS
WHAT IS A VALVE MANIFOLD?
In accordance with their usage, this valves come with several different configurations. The common types of valves are used in this system include ball, bleed, needle, and vent.
This issue was solved by configuring a valve manifold.
Valves manifolds are one of the most important part of industries where in fluids are used or manufactured. Control the high pressure fluid flow to regulating the pressure, these valves perform a variety of functions.
In some situation, two or more different requirements have to be fulfilled. This necessitates use of two or more valves at a single place in the system. it can be inefficient and takes double the space.
There are some specially designed manifolds to be mounted to a pressure transmitter. They are mostly made of stainless steel, carbon steel, or alloys.
UNDERSTANDING VALVE MANIFOLDS
Firstly, we must gather a basic understanding of what a valve manifold is, Manifolds are instruments that come with one or more valves, which can be connected to a transmitter.
It can be fitted in smallest of spaces owing to their compact size.
the transmission paths are shorter than normal systems, the fluctuations in heat and pressure drops are minimized.
Improved layout due to less hoses and connections.
Manifolds are easy to install and hence reduce the installation cost of several valves.
Minimum chances of oil leak due to less number of connections.
ADVANTAGES OF A MANIFOLD VALVE
TYPES OF MANIFOLD AVAILABLE AT THE TRANSMITTER SHOP At the Transmitter Shop, we offer high quality manifolds that are manufactured with stainless steel, carbon steel, or alloys. These valves are available in three different configurations: 2-Valve Manifolds 3-Valve Manifolds 5-Valve Manifolds
This 2-way manifolds valves are used for general plant service, standard pressure and differential pressure transmitters.
2-VALVE MANIFOLDS
The block valve is designed with a blue handle and the bleed valve is designed with a red handle.
It designed in a single block with male or female screwed inlet and outlet ports, combining an isolation valve and calibration/vent (bleed) valve.
One blocking valve at the high-pressure side and the other at the low-pressure side are designated with blue handles.
This 3-way manifolds valves are used in pressure and differential pressure transmitters, it consists of 1 equalizing valve and 2 blocking valves.
The one equalizing valve is designated in green and it is between the high and low process connections of the pressure instrument to provide equal pressures on both sides.
3-VALVE MANIFOLDS
This 5-way manifolds valves are used in pressure and differential pressure transmitters, it consists of 1 equalizing valve, 2 block valves and 2 bleeding valves.
5-VALVE MANIFOLDS
The 2 bleed valves are designed with red and allow for venting of trapped pressure through a tube.
The 1 equalizing valve is designed in green and it is between the high and low process connections of the pressure instrument to provide equal pressures on both sides.
One blocking valve at the high-pressure side and the other at the low-pressure side are designated with blue handles.
You can choose from a wide variety of instruments such as 2-valve, 3-valve, 5-valve, and so on, with specific features to suit your requirements.
So, all in all, if you are looking to install manifolds for your industry, The Transmitter Shop facilitates your decision making by offering technical assistance.
We enable our clients across the globe to avail from high-quality products at best prices, especially on bulk and wholesale purchases depending on your requirements.
