What is an Eccentric Plug Control Valve?

The eccentric rotary plug control valve has a one-piece body and a single shaft valve design and connects by flanged(ASME Class150 ~ 300, PN10 ~64) or wafer type(ASME Class150 ~ 300).

An eccentric plug valve is a type of rotary control valve which has a shaped plug that offsets in relation to the centerline of the plug and seat ring. The plug doesn’t touch with the valve seat until within a few angles of the close position. Due to the plug-shaped contacts or ”cams” into the seat, its surfaces will dynamically align to get to shut off. This is the valve we called eccentric plug valves.

This valve with a plug-shaped component that follows an eccentric part as it rotates.

The plug will not touch the seat until it turns within a few degrees of the cutoff position. Sometimes we call the plug a cam, when it is into the seat, the sealing surfaces dynamically align to achieve cutoff.

The most common application for eccentric rotary plug control valves is for the medium with slurries, grit, or solids. They have high performance of control accuracy and wide rangeability with all the inherent benefits of rotary control valves.

Basically, the eccentric rotary control valves will be complete with a pneumatic actuator, digital/smart positioner, and air filter regulator for precise flow control.

What is the difference between an eccentric ball control valve and an eccentric plug control valve?

The Eccentric ball valve (EBV) adopts a unique eccentric structure, with compact design, good cutting performance, long service life, and other characteristics, both with adjustment and cutting two functions. Widely used in the chemical industry, power plant, textile, food, medicine, papermaking, and other industrial sectors and municipal engineering, water plants and other pipelines to water, sewage, oil liquid or air, gas, natural gas, steam, and other media to cut off or adjust the flow control.

An eccentric plug valve is a type of rotary control valve which has a shaped plug. The plug doesn’t touch with the valve seat until within a few angles of the close position. Due to the plug-shaped contacts or ”cams” into the seat, its surfaces will dynamically align to get to shut off. This is the valve we called eccentric plug valves.

EBV series eccentric ball control valve is like Fisher CV500 Eccentric Plug Valve is V-notched ball control valve, and we talk about eccentric plug rotary control valve usually means Fisher V500 series. 

What are eccentric plug control valves used for?

The pneumatic eccentric rotary valve is mainly used for highly corrosive fluids, dirty or viscous particulate media, coking, and other difficult-to-handle applications.

The valve body material can be selected from WCC steel, CF8M, CF3M, duplex stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel, titanium Alloy steel, or other alloys. The pneumatic eccentric rotary valve produced by THINKTANK has long service life, wide adjustment, and control range, strong cutting ability, and good wear resistance for particles and severe working conditions.

Applicable to most fluid media, including water, steam, air, process gas, etc. Especially suitable for desalination plants, paper mills, oil refineries, coal chemical industry, textile mills, power plants, etc.
