The API Sleeve Type Plug Valve is designed to offer superior flow control in various industrial applications. This valve uses a cylindrical plug that is housed within a sleeve to provide an excellent sealing mechanism. The sleeve acts as a cushioning medium between the plug and the valve body, reducing friction and wear. The valve is often used in systems where tight sealing, durability, and ease of maintenance are required. The sleeve can also be replaced or repaired without disassembling the entire valve. This valve type is particularly effective in dealing with corrosive and abrasive materials, such as in the oil, gas, and chemical industries.
