Industrial Control Valves
Jordan Valve has a large line of industrial control valves to meet more specifications and applications. From sliding gate control valves to globe, wafer, motor operated, electric, bellows seal and angle body on/off control valves.
What is an industrial control valve?
Industrial control valves are used in many different industries (primarily oil and gas) to control operating conditions such as flow, pressure, temperature, and liquid levels.
Industrial Control Valve Design
Every industrial control valve has a:
- Bonnet: The top of the valve that houses the diaphragm and spring.
- Spring: To keep tension on the stem to keep the valve in position.
- Actuator: To receive a signal from the controller and adjust valve position.
- Stuffing Box Assembly: This provides a seal that prevents leakage.
- Travel Indicator: A visual indication of the valve’s position.
Stem & Seal: To block the flow through the valve.

How do industrial control valves work?
Industrial control valves are essentially powered by a control loop. They have a controller that signals them how to respond. A control valve can’t work by itself, it must receive a signal from an outside source, like an actuator or controller. A control valve is power-operated and it is used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by the signal in the controller. Control valves control flow, pressure, and temperature of the media. There are different variables that are measured for control, these include:
- Flow
- Liquid Level
- Temperature
- Pressure
Control valves come in really large sizes whereas pressure regulators are much smaller. Control valves can also have severe service trim material so they can operate in harsh environments. Because control valves have a controller, maintenance can look at the diagnostics and see if the valve is working optimally.
Benefits Of Using Industrial Control Valves
Industrial control valves have become a popular choice for a number of reasons including:
- They are easy to install which saves considerable time and effort.
- They can be operated automatically which removes the need for an operator to open and close the valve.
- They can help limit obstruction and eliminate the possibility of clogging.
- The Sliding Gate control valves can reduce waste which makes them a more environmentally friendly option.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which type of control valve is most commonly used in each industry?
One of the most common control valves used in each industry is globe valves. For globe valves, there are three different plugs that affect the flow or opening characteristics:
- Fast opening
- Linear
- Equal percentage
The equal percentage globe valve is our most popular. It essentially has a plug that incrementally increases the flow rate by a certain percentage from the previous flow.
However, the type of control valve you need depends on the size of the pipe, the overall pressure of the system, the flowing media, process conditions, and other factors. Get in touch with us today for help selecting the right control valve.
Other common valves that we don’t carry include gate valves, pinch valves, or industrial diaphragm valves. Ball valves can also be considered control valves which you can find in our Marwin Valve line.
2. How does a control valve affect the control loop?
The control valve controls the fluid flow as it goes through the loop. The signal in the controller tells the control valve how much or little of the fluid should go through the system.
