A wide variety of additional types are also available for specific applications, however.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/npt-lok.com\/fa_ir\/needle-valve-for-pressure-gauge\/\">Gauge Valves<\/a> &amp; Gauge Cocks: They are supplied with various connections (i.e. 1\/4\u201d BSP etc) and are simple shut off valves fitted directly between the process line and the pressure gauge. The Gauge Valve allows safe removal of an instrument from service, even when the process media is at high pressure. Gauge Cocks are often supplied as part of a Gauge Protection Package and also allow for the safe servicing of the pressure gauge itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check Valves: These are uni-directional valves which allow flow in one direction only. They are used to prevent back flow of a process fluid, which can cause a dangerous pressure surge or allow contamination of the system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bleed &amp; Vent Valves: This type of valve releases air or another medium from the lines or from the interior of a number of different types of instrument while servicing or checking for accuracy of that instrument. The bleed valve relieves pressure from a variety of different types of instrument.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u0633\u0648\u0627\u0644\u0627\u062a \u0645\u062a\u062f\u0627\u0648\u0644<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q1: Can I use a needle valve for on-off service\uff1f<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, a needle valve can shut off flow completely. But it is not designed for frequent on-off cycling. The seat will wear out faster if you open and close it several times a day. For frequent cycling, use a ball valve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q2: Can I use a ball valve to throttle flow\uff1f<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not recommended. Ball valves are designed for on-off service. Using a ball valve to throttle flow can damage the seat over time. For flow control, use a needle valve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q3: What is the difference between a 3-valve and a 5-valve manifold\uff1f<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 3-valve manifold has two block valves and one equalizer. A 5-valve manifold adds two bleed valves \u2013 one for each side. The extra bleed valves allow you to vent each side separately and connect calibration equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q4: What happens if I close the block valves before opening the equalizer on a 3-valve manifold\uff1f<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trapped pressure on one side of the transmitter can damage the sensor. Always open the equalizer first, then close the block valves. This balances pressure on both sides before isolation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Need_Help_Selecting_the_Right_Instrument_Valve%EF%BC%9F\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Need Help Selecting the Right Instrument Valve\uff1f<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our instrument valves (Needle valves, Ball valves and manifold valves) are supplied in stainless steel or other special alloys.
