Why Are Control Valves Smaller Than Line Size
Control valves are a vital component of any piping system, but they are often smaller than the size of the pipeline they are connected to. This is because smaller valves can regulate more precisely, take up less space and have lower pressure drops when open.
By using control valves smaller than the line size, it is possible to achieve precise control over flow rate and other parameters, save on space and reduce turbulence. All these benefits make using control valves smaller than pipelines an excellent solution for many industrial applications.
