Ball valves are among the most widely used valve types in industrial and commercial systems due to their durability, quick shut-off capabilities, and ease of operation. With a simple quarter-turn mechanism and a tight seal, ball valves are designed to control the flow of liquids or gases efficiently, even under high pressure and temperature. At…

In industrial systems, precise pressure measurement is critical for ensuring operational safety and efficiency. That’s where gauge valves come into play. At Virgin Engineers, we manufacture and supply high-performance gauge valves that are designed to regulate, isolate, and protect pressure gauges in a variety of process systems. Let’s explore the function, working, and applications of…

In industrial piping systems, valves are critical for controlling flow, pressure, and safety. Two of the most commonly used types are ball valves and gate valves. While both are designed to start or stop fluid flow, their internal mechanics, applications, and efficiency differ significantly. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of industrial valves, Virgin Engineers…

In the world of fluid control, where precision and accuracy are critical, needle valves play a vital role. Known for their fine threading and slender, tapered point, needle valves allow for precise regulation of flow—making them essential in industries that demand exact fluid or gas control. At Virgin Engineers, we manufacture and supply high-performance needle…

A manifold valve is a precision-engineered device used to regulate, isolate, vent, or equalize pressure in fluid and gas systems—particularly in instrumentation and process control applications. It combines multiple valve functions into a single compact body, streamlining the piping setup and improving efficiency. At VIRGN ENGINEERS, we specialize in high-performance 2-valve, 3-valve, and 5-valve manifolds,…

Valves play a crucial role in industries such as oil & gas, marine, chemical processing, power generation, and aerospace, controlling the flow of fluids and gases. The choice of valve material significantly impacts performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Among the most commonly used options are titanium valves and stainless steel valves, each offering distinct advantages. While…

Valves play a crucial role in fluid and gas control systems, and choosing between manifold and non-manifold valves depends on the application’s specific requirements. Both types serve pressure control, fluid direction, and system isolation, but their design, efficiency, and installation methods vary significantly. Virgin Engineers specializes in providing high-quality manifold and non-manifold valves for industrial…
