What is a E-Body (Eccentric Plug Valve) used for?

E-Body (Eccentric Plug Valve)s are used in industrial piping systems for on-off isolation, flow control, or backflow prevention depending on the valve type. They are selected based on the process fluid, operating pressure and temperature, required shutoff class, and pipeline size. Vajra Industrial Solutions supplies E-Body (Eccentric Plug Valve)s certified to API 6D, ASME B16.34, and other applicable standards.

How do I select the right E-Body (Eccentric Plug Valve) for my application?

Selecting the correct E-Body (Eccentric Plug Valve) requires specifying: (1) nominal pipe size (NPS/DN), (2) pressure class per ASME B16.34, (3) body and trim material based on fluid compatibility and temperature, (4) end connections (flanged RF/RTJ, butt-weld, socket-weld, or threaded), (5) required certifications (API 6D, ISO 9001, fire-safe API 607).
