WEIZIDOM Pneumatic Valve Types and Application Solutions

2026.01.21

In industrial automation systems, pneumatic valves have become one of the core devices in the fluid control field due to their fast response speed, safety, reliability, and explosion-proof performance.

WEIZIDOM focuses on the manufacturing and export of industrial valves, providing a complete pneumatic valve product system covering multiple industries and operating conditions to meet the needs of engineering projects, automated control systems, and harsh operating environments.

I. What is a Pneumatic Valve?

A pneumatic valve is an automated valve that uses compressed air as power and is driven by a pneumatic actuator to open, close, or regulate the valve.

Compared to manual and electric valves, pneumatic valves have the following significant advantages:

💡 Fast opening and closing speed, suitable for high-frequency operation

💡 Good explosion-proof performance, suitable for flammable and explosive environments

💡 Simple structure, low maintenance cost

💡 Easy to integrate into automated control systems

Therefore, pneumatic valves are widely used in water treatment, oil and gas, chemical, power, pharmaceutical, and energy industries.

II. Main Types of WEIZIDOM Pneumatic Valves

🔔 1. Pneumatic Ball Valves

    Pneumatic ball valves are known for their rapid opening and closing and excellent sealing performance, making them suitable for quickly shutting off media.

    Floating Ball Pneumatic Ball Valve: Simple structure, suitable for medium and low pressure conditions.

    Fixed Ball Pneumatic Ball Valve: Strong pressure resistance, suitable for large-diameter, high-pressure pipelines.

    Common Applications: Oil and gas pipelines, water treatment systems, chemical plants.

    🔔 2. Pneumatic Butterfly Valves

      Pneumatic butterfly valves are compact and lightweight, especially suitable for large-diameter pipelines.

      Soft-Seal Pneumatic Butterfly Valve: Good sealing performance, suitable for water treatment and low-temperature conditions.

      Metal-Seal Pneumatic Butterfly Valve: High temperature and wear resistant, suitable for high-temperature media.

      Common Applications: Water supply and drainage systems, sewage treatment, power plant circulating water systems.

      🔔 3. Pneumatic Gate Valves

        Pneumatic gate valves are mainly used for fully open or fully closed conditions, with low flow resistance, and are not suitable for regulation.

        Features:

        Suitable for large-diameter, high-pressure applications.

        High opening and closing torque; requires a suitable actuator.

        Common applications: Oil and gas pipelines, power and chemical main pipelines.

        🔔 4. Pneumatic Shut-off Valve

          Pneumatic shut-off valves are suitable for controlling flow to a certain extent and offer reliable sealing.

          Common applications:

          Steam systems

          High-temperature and high-pressure pipelines

          Process flow control systems

          🔔5. Pneumatic Control Valve

            Pneumatic control valves are used for continuous regulation of flow, pressure, or liquid level and are key control components in automation systems.

            Features:

            High adjustment accuracy

            Can be equipped with a positioner for proportional control

            Common applications: Chemical, pharmaceutical, energy, and process control systems

            III. Pneumatic Valve Material and Structure Selection


            1. Common Valve Body Materials

            Carbon Steel: Suitable for general industrial conditions

            Stainless Steel (304/316): Good corrosion resistance

            Alloy Steel: High temperature and high pressure resistance

            2. Advantages of Fluorine-Lined Pneumatic Valves

            For highly corrosive media, WEIZIDOM offers a variety of fluoropolymer-lined pneumatic valves, featuring:

            Excellent acid and alkali resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance

            Extended valve lifespan

            Reduced system maintenance costs

            IV. Pneumatic Valve Selection Strategies for Different Operating Conditions

            High pressure and high temperature conditions: Prioritize metal seals and alloy steel valve bodies

            Corrosive media: Recommended fluoropolymer-lined pneumatic valves or stainless steel valves

            Large diameter, low pressure systems: Pneumatic butterfly valves are more economical

            High-frequency opening and closing: Ball valves or butterfly valves are more suitable

            Correct selection not only ensures system safety but also significantly reduces subsequent operation and maintenance costs.

            V. Pneumatic Actuator and Control Accessory Configuration

            WEIZIDOM pneumatic valves can be flexibly configured with a variety of actuators and accessories:

            ✨ Single-acting/Double-acting pneumatic actuators

            ✨ Solenoid valves

            ✨ Limit switches

            ✨ Valve positioners

            ✨ Manual mechanisms (emergency operation)

            Meeting the needs of on-site control, remote control, and automated interlocking.
