What Is A Bushing Valve?

Bushing valve is a type of valve, mainly composed of a valve body, valve cover, valve disc, bushing, etc. Bushing valve is mainly used to control the flow of fluid in the pipeline, and can adjust the flow rate, pressure and direction.

The bushing valve is characterized by its relatively simple internal structure and relatively reliable working principle. Because the bushing material of the bushing valve has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, it has a long service life and can meet the needs of different working conditions.

On ships, bushed valves are mainly used to control various fluid media, such as fuel oil, lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, etc. Because the fluid medium of the ship is more, the application of the Bushing Valve is also more extensive. In addition, the bushed valve can also be used in the ship's fire protection system, ballast water system, etc.

Marine Bushing Valves and industrial valves are different in the following aspects:

Application environment: Marine Bushing Valves are mainly used in the Marine industry, and industrial valves are widely used in various industrial fields. Due to the special working environment of the ship, such as vibration, shock, corrosion, etc., Marine Bushing Valves need to have higher reliability and durability.

Material requirements: Marine Bushing Valve material requirements are higher, usually need to use corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high temperature and other good performance of the material. At the same time, due to the large number of fluid media in the ship, the internal bushing of the Bushing Valve also needs to have explosion-proof, fire-proof and other safety properties. Industrial valves use different materials and processes according to different working media and working conditions.

Installation requirements: The installation location of Marine bushing valves is usually more limited, so a more compact valve structure is required. In addition, due to the particularity of the ship's pipeline system, the installation of the Bushing Valve also needs to consider the direction of the pipeline, the connection method and other factors. Industrial valves are installed according to different work requirements and piping systems.

Working performance: Marine bushing valves need to have higher working performance, such as sealing performance, regulating performance, switching performance, etc. Due to the complexity of fluid media in Marine pipeline system, the bushed valve needs to be able to adapt to different fluid media and working conditions. Industrial valves are designed and selected according to specific work needs.
