Plunger Flow Control Valve

F500

The needle-valve is mainly designed for water flow regulation in a pipeline. The flow regulation happens through the axial movement of a piston, operated by a rod and crank mechanism.

The piston is positioned in the center of the body valve and steers in a chamber properly shaped in order to avoid noise and cavitation damages. This characteristic confers the valve a smooth, vibration-free operation.

The water flow is guided through a ring-shaped chamber around the streamlined central body. The cross section of this chamber is continuously reducing from the inlet to the throttle : this provides continuous rise rate of flow speed and pressure drop. The geometrically ideal design confines the cavitations bubbles in the center of the outlet mouth, avoiding damages to the valve.

The T.I.S Nuoval range includes the series F560 - F500 - F550 series, in sizes from DN80 to DN1800, flanges to EN 1092-2, with nominal pressures range PN10 - PN16 - PN25 - PN40 - PN64.
