Valves play a vital role in every pipeline system. Whether used in oil, gas, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, paper/pulp and utility markets, Valves are the unsung heroes of pipeline systems. We are a reliable and efficient supplier of both manual and actuated valves.
At Arran Pipeline Supplies (APS), we know that choosing the right valve can make all the difference. But before exploring product options, it helps to understand just how important valves really are.
Why Valves Matter in Everyday Systems
Valves do more than open and close. They:
- Regulate flow – ensuring consistent performance across industries.
- Maintain safety – preventing leaks, bursts, or backflow that could lead to downtime.
- Increase efficiency – reducing waste and helping systems run smoothly.
From domestic heating systems to large-scale industrial projects, valves play a critical role in making sure operations are safe, reliable, and cost-effective.
Common Types of Valves
Different projects require different solutions. Some of the most widely used valves include:
- Ball Valves – offering fast shut-off and control.
- Gate Valves – strong and durable for full flow applications.
- Check Valves – stopping backflow to protect equipment.
- Butterfly Valves – lightweight and ideal for larger pipelines.
Each type serves a unique purpose, and choosing the right one depends on the requirements of the system.
