Plug Valve Design and Applications: Lubricated, Sleeved & Eccentric Types
Plug valves are often overlooked in favour of ball valves, but they offer distinct advantages in multi-port configurations, viscous or dirty service, and natural gas distribution where their full-bore design and reliable shut-off make them the preferred choice. This guide covers all plug valve types - lubricated, RPTFE-sleeved, and eccentric - with applications and selection criteria.
Plug Valve Types - Lubricated vs Non-Lubricated vs Eccentric: Complete Guide
Plug valves are one of the oldest valve designs - a tapered or cylindrical plug with a through-port that rotates to open or close flow. In modern plants they occupy a specific niche alongside ball valves: lubricated plug valves for crude oil and heavy product pipelines, non-lubricated PTFE-sleeved designs for chemical service, and eccentric plug valves for slurry and abrasive service. This guide explains the three main types.
Plug Valve Types and Selection Guide: Lubricated, Eccentric and Lined
Plug valves use a tapered or cylindrical plug to provide quarter-turn on/off isolation. This guide compares lubricated, non-lubricated, eccentric and lined designs, covering construction, pressure ratings, standards and industry applications.
