SLVCN will participate in CAOG 2026 in Aktau, Kazakhstan, from September 17 to 19, 2026. Visit us at Booth A22 to discuss ball valve solutions for oil & gas, pipeline, petrochemical, LNG and energy applications.

SLVCN supplied Duplex 2205 pneumatic butterfly valves, CPVC butterfly valves and other valve solutions for a seawater treatment system used by a large-scale salmon farming company in Japan.

When selecting an automated valve for an industrial pipeline system, many engineers and buyers compare pneumatic butterfly valves and pneumatic ball valves.Both valves use quarter-turn operation and can be equipped with pneumatic actuators for automatic on/off control. However, their different desig

Electric and pneumatic actuators are both widely used to automate ball valves and butterfly valves. Choosing between them is not simply a matter of deciding which actuator is "better."The right choice depends on five main factors: the available power source, required fail-safe position, operating sp
