Needle Valve


Needle valves are the suitable valve to use whenever pressure heads or flow rates need to be safely and  reliably reduced and controlled. They are used for two main tasks:
  • By restricting the cross-section, a change in flow rate, flow velocity and pressure is forced, which results to higher stress in the valve. The valve must therefore be designed so that potential cavitation cannot cause any damage whatsoever.
  • To be able to control the pressure and flow precisely and finely, the control valve’s control characteristics must be as linear as possible over the whole opening range.
Thanks to their well thought out design, ERHARD needle valves fulfill these requirements to the greatest possible degree and are therefore the ideal valve for numerous control tasks.
Even if butterfly valves and gate valves are used for such tasks in individual cases in practice, due to their design as an optimum shut-off device for “OPEN/CLOSED” operation, but they are not suitable for continuous use as a control valve.
