STEAM VALVE (Kunkle)

A steam valve is found in a steam boiler for which pressure is normally found. It opens right away when the pressure reaches a hazardous level that can damage the whole system. The right temperature is kept with a steam valve in process pipes or in a storage tank by instantly controlling the flow of steam when fluid temperature changes occur.


A steam valve is mainly used for businesses that are catered to the pharmaceutical, chemical and hydrocarbon industries. Pricy steam waste is eliminated with a steam valve. steam valves greatly reduce potential damage due to overheating when fluid is being transformed.
