The Team

Our team consists of experienced professionals who have worked with these kinds of products and applications for many years. They have built up a tremendous amount of experience based on feedback from the field. The added value to our customers is not only limited to superior products and low life-cycle costs but is also related to in-depth knowledge of our customers’ processes and operating practices.

Furthermore, our familiarity with international standards and design practices, product application expertise and our know-how on application related disciplines such as metallurgy and control systems, contributes to customer demands. Complementary to this is our After Sales and Services capabilities, which enable us to provide an excellent Worldwide Service.

General Applications

Duxvalves manufactures choke (control) valves and control valves used for severe conditions. These conditions most likely occur in the Oil & Gas exploration and storage environment, which incidentally can also be found in the petro-chemical or other industries.

In general our valves are used on applications where there are one or more of the following conditions:
  • High pressure (drops)
  • Abrasive (erosive) fluids
  • Corrosive fluids
  • Cavitation/flashing
  • High seat tightness requirement
The importance of implementing a Duxvalves on specific applications:
  • Our unique design enables us to extend the meantime-between-failure (MTBF) substantially, resulting in low maintenance and life-cycle costs
  • The in-depth knowledge of our customers’ process and operating practices
  • Our familiarity with International standards and design practices, product application expertise and our know-how on application related disciplines, such as metallurgy and control systems, which contribute to customer demands
  • Our After Sales and Service capabilities, enables us to provide worldwide service

Valve principles

Duxvalves produces a wide range of choke and control valves. These valves can be equipped with several types of valve principles (internals) depending on the specific application and considering the process conditions.

The valve principles are listed below:

PrincipleTrim typeApplication
1. Basic DiscBDSimple rigid design
2. Pico DiscPDWide range for large range ability
3. Large Cv discLC“Full bore” design with Cv value up to 650
4. Wide range Low noise discWLLarge range ability icw low noise production
5. Low Noise discLNLow noise design icw strainer
6. Filter DiscFDFilter to avoid clogging up the system
7. Cage DiscCD2 stage flow control
8. Diamond DiscDDFor extreme heavy duty applications
9. Dual OrificeDOHigh range ability and dual applications
10. Micro DiscMDMicro design for very small Cv values
 

These internals can be executed in both angle and inline body styles depending on the piping configuration.

The product range is:

Body size: ½ – 6”
Pressure rating: 150 – 2.500 lbs ANSI
2.000 – 15.000 lbs API
Cv value: upto 650

Material combinations are based on customer requirements and can easily be adapted. At the download section you will find information with regard to the recommended or most common material combinations.
