What Is An Electric Valve

The action force distance of electric valves is larger than that of ordinary valves. The opening and closing speed of electric valves can be adjusted, with a simple structure and easy maintenance. It can be used to control the flow of various types of fluids such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, oil products, liquid metals, and radioactive media. However, traditional pneumatic valves are not easily damaged due to the buffering characteristics of the gas during operation, but they must have a gas source and their control system is more complex than electric valves. This type of valve should generally be installed horizontally in pipelines.
