What is a valve manifold and where are valve manifolds used?

Valve manifold configurations for diverse industrial plant applications.

Valve manifolds are flow management devices of ever-growing interest for operators, maintainers, and design teams worldwide. Even under today’s landscape of ongoing innovations, they continue to be a go-to technical solution for fluid control in systems. When two or more valves are involved, that is.

Since their deployment extends across diverse processes in several industries, it is only fitting to seize the opportunity to offer knowledge on them.

What are valve manifolds? When to use them? What configurations are available?

These are some of the questions to address in this introduction feature. Please, continue reading below to get the details.

Provide usability for EPCs

Flexible alignment of the pressure gauge display.

In plant construction, you often come up against challenges where standard valves no longer fit. Then, you need professional support who can advice you what to do when standard solutions don`t meet the requirements of the installation.

Some time ago we have created a simple but very helpful solution for a pressure gauge manufacturer. The solution refers to the alignment of the pressure gauge display.

Does the seal ring fit? Avoid bad surprises.

Does the seal ring fit? Avoid bad surprises.

Direct mount manifolds for direct mounting on pressure and differential pressure transmitters are normally protected against overheating by hot process media by means of correspondingly long impulse pipings. Nevertheless, many users demand that the manifolds and their flange connection to the transmitter can easily withstand even higher temperatures. For this, the manifolds must be equipped with gaskets made of graphite. This means they can easily be used at up to 550 degrees Celsius – much more than required by the current EN 61518 / IEC 61518 standards.
