What Is A Manual Valve?

A manual valve is a valve that controls the opening and closing of the valve through manual operation. Usually with the help of handwheels, handles, levers, sprockets and other tools to operate, you can change the flow direction of the fluid medium, flow, pressure and other parameters. Manual valves are widely used in various fluid piping systems, such as water, steam, oil, gas, etc.

Manual valves are usually composed of body, stem, disc, etc., and different valve structures and materials can be selected according to different working conditions and fluid media. For example, under harsh conditions such as high temperature, high pressure and corrosion, valves with special materials and sealing structures need to be selected.

Manual valves are used on various types of ships, depending on the valve type and ship type, the manual valves used are different. General use of manual valve parts of the ship are:

Ship's cargo hold: Manual valves can be used to control the flow of liquid or gas media in the cargo hold, such as oil tanks, ballast tanks, etc.

Marine pump valve system: Manual valves can be used to control the inlet and outlet flow and pressure of the pump, such as manual valves for Marine pumps.

Marine oil circuit system: Manual valves can be used to control the flow of fuel oil, lubricating oil and other oils, such as fuel valves, lubricating oil valves, etc.

Marine steam systems: Manual valves can be used to control the flow of steam media, such as steam valves, pressure reducing valves, etc.
