What Are Needle Valves Used For?

Needle Valves, sometimes referred to as plunger valves, are regulating valves that enable engineers to finely control and regulate water flow and pressure. Austfluid Link supplies these valves to the heavy machinery based industries including the defence force the mining and automotive industries across Australia and the Asia Pacific region.

Some examples of where needle valves are used include:

  • Water or chemical flow metering at power plants
  • Water or chemical flow metering at chemical plants
  • Water or chemical flow metering at refineries
  • Water or chemical flow metering during mining
  • Water or chemical flow metering during oil or gas exploration

Needle valves are commonly used to control flow and protect delicate gauges from damage caused by sudden pressure surges of liquids and gases. They’re ideal for systems that are using lighter and less viscous materials with low flow rates. The benefits of high-quality and extremely durable needle valves include the maximisation of safety and reliability, of vital importance in all heavy-machinery, high-risk projects within the industries of mining, automotive manufacturing and Australian defence.
