In industries where accuracy is crucial—such as chemical processing, water treatment, oil and gas, and HVAC systems—precision brass valves help achieve fluid control, preventing leaks, pressure losses, and ensuring consistent performance over time.

One of the primary ways to classify precision custom brass valves is based on their functionality. The different types serve unique purposes in fluid control systems:

Ball valves are one of the commonly used types of brass valves in industrial applications. Their primary function is to control the flow of fluids through a pipe by rotating a hollow, perforated sphere (the ball) inside the valve body. This design allows for quick and precise opening and closing of the valve.

Applications: Ball valves are used in various industries, including water supply systems, gas pipelines, and HVAC systems. They are ideal for applications that require tight sealing and minimal flow resistance.

Precision Features: Custom ball valves can be made with specific port sizes, pressure ratings, and threading configurations to ensure they fit the needs of the system. Precision ball valves are often used in applications where consistent, leak-free performance is critical.

Gate valves are designed to regulate the flow of fluid by raising or lowering a wedge-shaped gate. When fully open, gate valves offer very little resistance to fluid flow, making them an choice for applications where flow efficiency is important.

Applications: Gate valves are commonly used in water and sewage treatment plants, oil refineries, and large industrial systems. These valves are particularly useful in pipelines where the fluid flow needs to be fully stopped or allowed.

Precision Features: Precision custom gate valves are designed to allow precise control over the opening and closing action. Customization can include adding specific seals, creating unique actuator systems, and fine-tuning the flow control to suit demanding operational environments.

Globe valves are characterized by a spherical body shape and are often used for throttling or regulating the flow of fluids. These valves are designed to provide finer control over fluid flow compared to gate valves and are particularly useful when gradual adjustments to flow are required.

Applications: Globe valves are often used in systems that require frequent adjustments to fluid flow, such as in chemical processing, power generation, and heating systems.

Precision Features: Custom globe valves can be made with finely tuned throttling capabilities, allowing for precise adjustments in flow rates. These valves can be designed with specific seals and actuators to meet stringent control requirements.
