Description: A Straight Needle Valve is a type of valve designed for precise flow control. It features a straight-line flow path, where the fluid travels in a direct path from the inlet to the outlet. These valves are commonly used in applications where fine-tuned regulation of fluid flow is needed, such as in laboratory systems, instrumentation, and fluid control applications. The needle valve design utilizes a tapered needle that moves in and out of the valve seat to provide accurate flow adjustment, making it suitable for precise control in low-flow and high-pressure environments.
