MINIATURE NEEDLE VALVE
MINIATURE NEEDLE VALVE
A miniature needle valve is a compact flow control device designed for precise regulation of flow in small-diameter pipelines or confined spaces, commonly used in instrumentation, medical, laboratory, and pneumatic applications. These valves are characterized by their fine-threaded stem and narrow seat, which allow for accurate control of flow rate. Typically, miniature needle valves come in sizes ranging from 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch NPT (National Pipe Thread), though other thread standards such as BSP or compression fittings are also available depending on the application.
- Compact design: Ideal for limited-space applications where full-size valves would not fit.
- Precision flow control: Allows fine adjustments of fluid or gas flow using a tapered needle design.
- Variety of connections: Available in NPT, BSP, and compression types for easy integration into various systems.
- Durable construction: Often made from stainless steel, brass, or plastic to suit different operating environments.
- Low leakage: Engineered for tight shut-off, minimizing leakage in sensitive systems.
- Enhanced accuracy in flow regulation improves system efficiency and safety.
- Space-saving design enables installation in compact setups without sacrificing performance.
- Material versatility ensures compatibility with a range of fluids and gases, including corrosive media.
- Ease of maintenance due to simple design and fewer moving parts.
- Cost-effective solution for applications requiring precise flow management at a smaller scale.
