Control Valves

.Ist das alles die gleiche seite?

Control valves automatically regulate flow, pressure, or temperature in response to a process signal. Suppliers in this category manufacture, distribute, or service control valves and their actuators for industrial process, HVAC, and utility applications across Europe.

What Control Valves suppliers provide

Suppliers in this category cover valves designed for continuous, automated regulation rather than simple on/off shut-off, typically paired with pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic actuators and a positioner or controller. Body styles include globe, angle, and rotary designs, selected for the required flow characteristic, pressure drop, and noise or cavitation behaviour. Core competence lies in valve and actuator sizing for the specific process conditions, including flow coefficient calculation and material selection for corrosive or high-temperature media. Many suppliers also provide positioners, smart actuator diagnostics, and calibration services. Unlike gate and butterfly valves, which are primarily selected for shut-off, control valves are specified around their throttling and control performance across a range of operating conditions. In the pre-selection phase, compare which process industries and control system integrations each supplier supports.

Relevant standards

Control valves are commonly sized and tested to IEC 60534 (industrial-process control valves) and built with flange connections to EN 1092 or pressure-temperature ratings to ASME B16.34. Supplier quality management is typically certified to ISO 9001.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a control valve and a shut-off valve?
A control valve is designed for continuous, automated throttling in response to a process signal, while a shut-off valve such as a gate or ball valve is designed mainly for fully open or fully closed operation.
