KLINGER Valves

Ball valves are highly versatile in terms of fluid handling and are among the most used valves in the industry. Ball valves feature a quick closing ¼ turn, which is usually achieved by means of a lever, thus allowing for simple operation. KLINGER ball valves meet the most demanding specifications and are used in a wide range of industries. At KLINGER, your ball valve manufacturer of choice, we focus on the highest quality, reduced maintenance requirements and global service. Lastly, our fully automated production of ball valves with up to DN 1000 makes us suitable for all even large pipe sizes. KLINGER Ball valves are available in a varied styles and materials for your unique application.

Split body full bore flanged ball valves are the perfect and inexpensive solution for shutoff needs. The gland design allows in-line re-tightening of stem packing without having to remove the actuator. KLINGER KHD Flanged Ball Valves provide effective control of oil and gas operations. Their characteristic feature is the flanged ends that can be bolted to any oil and gas piping. Two-piece ball valves are among the most used ball valves. As the name implies, a two-piece ball valve consists of two pieces, one with an end connection and the body. The second piece fits into the first, holds the trim in place, and houses the second end connection. In general, soft seats are made of thermoplastic materials such as PTFE. They are ideal for applications where chemical compatibility is important and where the tightest possible seal is essential. However, soft seats are not recommended for dirty or abrasive process fluids.

Industrial ball valves are important components in process engineering systems of all main sectors for the maintenance of transport and production processes. The various applications require shutting off, throttling and regulating material flows (solid-containing, liquid or gaseous) in piping systems up to opening and closing processes in piping systems. KLINGER have employed their detailed technical knowledge and application experience for the differentiated design and manufacturing of the industrial ball valves to effectively manage the occasional extreme operating conditions (pressure, temperature, medium) as well as safety requirements.

Piston valves stand for excellent industry performance with their minimum maintenance requirements and production savings. KLINGER piston valves are characterized by a system of seals and ring that ensures tightness to atmosphere and thus prevents environmental contamination. KLINGER has been at the forefront of piston valve technology since 1922. Featuring different types of connections – flanged, threaded, butt and socket weld ends – and both DIN and ANSI-compliant standards, KLINGER piston valves complete the wide range of KLINGER’s industrial valves.

Butterfly valves regulate or isolate the flow of a liquid medium by means of a rotatable disk. Like ball valves, butterfly valves are also characterized by their quick operation. As a quarter-turn valve, fully opening or closing the valve is achieved by rotating the disk a quarter of a turn. The KLINGER Westad butterfly valves are designed to meet demanding challenges in terms of different media, pressure, and temperature. Ideally, they are used for LNG, LPG, chemical and other critical applications. The housing is available in the dimensions DN 80 to 1000.

KLINGER Knife gate valves are used in cement plants, wastewater treatment plants, chemical plants, mining, and in many more industrial applications. Gate valves are designed mainly for on-off and isolation services, however, if the fluid is of a viscous nature, a special type of gate valve known as a knife gate valve is recommended. Gate valves used in the mainlines carrying oil or gas must be of full bore or through conduit design to enable smooth passage of scrapers or pigs used for cleaning or monitoring pipelines. KLINGER Knife Gate Valves are characterized by an interior blade that rises and falls by means of a shank. This operating principle allows it to efficiently “cut” the fluid. Knife gate valves are ideal for systems that transport fluids with a high solids content, which are difficult or impossible to close by means of conventional valves.

An extraordinary range of valves designed for specific applications offered by KLINGER include Check valves, Gate valves, Globe Valves, Plug Valves, Safety valves, Bellow seal valves and Shut-off valves.

KLINGER offers valve actuators as well as actuator accessories, including pneumatic actuators, electric actuators, solenoid valves and limit switches. Valve actuators use electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic energy to open and close elements of a valve. KLINGER offers a wide range of actuators as well as actuator accessories, including 90° electrical actuators, pneumatic actuators (90°, 120°, 180°), actuators for diaphragm valves, butterfly, solenoid and ball valves as well as position indicators, silencers and switch boxes.

KLINGER Diaphragm valves are characterized by a straight passage design and are typically used with corrosive or abrasive fluids. This valve type may be either coated or it may feature a liner inside the body. Combined with the diaphragm, they can perform their intended function with minimal wear. Pinch valves are typically used in applications where the media need to be completely isolated from internal valve parts. The sleeve holds the flow medium, and subsequently isolates it from the environment, thus significantly reducing contamination. Our Diaphragm and Pinch Valves are suitable in chemical and environmental technology, food and beverage, water treatment, as well as in electroplating.

A control valve is used to manage the flow of a fluid by varying the flow passage volume. As a consequence, variables such as the pressure, temperature and fluid level can be directly controlled. KLINGER offers control valves that utilize the same wear parts as ball valves as well as segment control valves suitable for flow and pressure control.
