Pneumatic Valves & Systems

Common pneumatic control systems include:

• Pneumatic actuators. These control the movement of machinery, such as valves or pumps.
• Pneumatic control valves. Used to regulate the flow of compressed air or gas in a system.
• Pneumatic sensors. They detect changes in air pressure or flow and provide feedback to the control system.
• Circuits which are designed to control the sequence of operations within a system.

Pneumatic valves are devices used to control the flow of compressed air or other gases in pneumatic systems. These valves are an essential component of many industrial and commercial systems, including manufacturing equipment, machinery, and automation systems. Pneumatic valves can be classified into several different types, including:

• directional control valves
• pressure control valves
• flow control valves
• proportional control valves

Each type of valve serves a specific function, such as controlling the direction of airflow, regulating air pressure, or adjusting the flow rate.

The most common components of a pneumatic system include:

• Compressed air supply: This is the source of compressed air or gas that powers the system, typically provided by a compressor or other source of pressurised gas.
• Piping and tubing: These are used to transport compressed air or gas throughout the system.
• Pneumatic actuators: These are devices that convert compressed air or gas into mechanical motion, typically used to control the movement of valves or other machinery.
• Pneumatic valves: These are devices that control the flow of compressed air or gas in the system, including directional control valves, pressure control valves, and flow control valves.
• Pneumatic sensors: These are devices that detect changes in air pressure, flow, or other variables, and provide feedback to the control system.

This really depends upon the design and type of your ball valve. If it is a two way bi directional ball valve (the vast majority of ball valves are this design) it is relatively straight forward as you just need to connect both ends (it can take flow in either direction). This can be with threaded, flanged, tri clover or any other end connection that the valve is built too.

• Directional control valves: These valves are used to control the direction of air flow in a pneumatic system. They can be either manually or electronically operated.
• Pressure control valves: These valves are used to regulate the pressure of compressed air in a pneumatic system, and can be either pressure relief valves, pressure-reducing valves, or pressure-sustaining valves.
• Flow control valves: These valves are used to regulate the flow of compressed air or gas in a pneumatic system, and can be either manually or electronically operated.
• Check valves: These valves are used to prevent the backflow of compressed air or gas in a pneumatic system.
• Proportional control valves: These valves are used to provide precise control over the flow of compressed air or gas in a pneumatic system, and can be either electro-pneumatic or pneumatic-hydraulic.
• Solenoid valves: These valves are operated by an electromagnetic coil and are commonly used in pneumatic control systems to control the flow of compressed air or gas.

This depends upon where you are based and the freight method chosen. If the express freight option is selected it is usually next day delivery to metropolitan areas in Australia for under 5kg. If free freight has been selected it will go by road freight which can be anywhere from 1 to 10 days depending upon your location. It usually averages 3 days.

All of our products come standard with a 12 month warranty. The good news is we have very strict quality controls and all valves leave our warehouse tested (full material and testing certificates to API598 are available) and inspected so there are rarely any issues. Also once your valve is in and operating it will most likely continue to do so for a very long time.
