- Design Features
- Non‑rotating Stem – Prevents galling and extends seat/packing life; stem moves axially without rotation.
- Metal‑to‑Metal Seating (Standard) – Sharp needle tip provides fine flow control and positive shut‑off (bubble‑tight).
- PTFE Packing – Low friction, good chemical resistance, suitable up to 200°C. Graphite packing available for high temperature.
- Integral Bonnet Construction – Reduces potential leak paths; robust for high‑pressure applications.
- Included Nipples – Valve is supplied with two stainless steel male NPT nipples for easy connection to piping or tubing.
- Fine Flow Regulation – Needle profile allows precise, repeatable flow adjustment from fully closed to fully open.
- Performance Characteristics
Parameter | Value |
Cv (full open) | ~0.8 – 1.2 (depending on orifice) |
Orifice diameter | 6 mm (typical for DN15 needle valve) |
Maximum working pressure | 4.0 MPa (PN40) at ambient temperature |
Temperature derating | Reduce pressure by 1% per °C above 200°C (for PTFE packing) |
Leakage rate | Zero detectable leakage (metal seat) per API 598 |
- Aplikasi
- Instrumentation panels (pressure gauges, transmitters, switches)
- Chemical injection lines
- Sample points
- Bleed and vent ports
- High‑pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems
- Steam tracing lines (with graphite packing)

Notes:
- “c/w Nipples” means the valve is supplied complete with two nipples, ready for installation.
- For high‑temperature steam (>200°C), select graphite packing and metal stem tip.
- Needle valves are not intended for full on/off isolation in high‑cycle applications; they are designed for flow regulation and shut‑off.
- Confirm pressure‑temperature limits with the manufacturer for specific media.
