What is a needle valve and what is it used for?
A needle valve is a type of valve that adjusts flow gradually and precisely via a rotating needle mechanism. The VLV series needle valve is used for fine flow adjustment in high-pressure liquid and gas lines.
What pressure is the VLV series needle valve rated for?
It is designed to operate in the 10,000 PSI (700 bar) class and provides reliable operation up to this pressure.
What material is the needle valve made from?
The body is made of 4140 steel and the needle is made of stainless steel (SS316); this combination provides high strength under high pressure.
What connection type does the needle valve have?
It has a 3/8″ NPT (National Pipe Thread) connection standard.
What temperature range does the needle valve operate in?
It operates safely between −20°C and +200°C.
How is sealing achieved in the needle valve?
Full sealing is achieved using PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) seals.
How is precise flow control achieved with the needle valve?
The rotating needle mechanism allows flow to be adjusted finely and precisely; opening/closing is performed with the rotating-type needle.
Which industries and applications is the needle valve used in?
It is used in petrochemicals (high-pressure liquid/gas flow control), hydraulic systems (fine adjustment of hydraulic oil flows), laboratory and test setups, the energy sector (gas and oil flow control), and process control applications requiring precise flow.
How is the needle valve related to hydraulic torque and tensioning systems?
VLV series needle valves are used in high-pressure lines requiring precise adjustment, to provide safe flow control in hydraulic torque and tensioning systems.
What standards does the needle valve comply with?
It is manufactured in compliance with ISO 9001, ASTM and DIN standards.
How do I select and order the right needle valve model?
By sharing your pressure, fluid and connection information through the technical quote form, we can recommend the needle valve model suited to your needs.
Do you provide maintenance/repair service and spare parts support for your needle valve products?
Yes. We carry out maintenance and repair of the products we manufacture at our own facility — once you send us your faulty unit, we manage the repair process after inspection. We also manufacture original spare parts on request for the models we produce; we don't maintain a separate spare parts catalog, but you can contact us directly for the part you need.
