Selecting a Valve

With so many options, how do you start your valve selection? There are some basic questions that your BPC sales engineer will ask you:

Is the application for a dry granular material or for a wet or slurry material?
What is the internal working pressure inside the valve?
If a wet application, are you dealing with Bi-Directional Flow?
Do you require upgraded seals or a bonnet to prevent valve leakage?

Narrowing Down

These questions will generally lead you to one or two possible valve Series to choose, and the remaining questions relate to configuration:

Valve Size: ANSI or DIN flanges are possible in a range of sizes from 2” – 40”+ diameters.
Preferred Valve Materials: Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, etc.
Type of Actuator: Hand Wheel, Pneumatic Actuator, Electric Actuator, Hydraulic Actuator.
