elzárószelep

An elzárószelep, which translates to "shut-off valve" in English, is a mechanical device used to control the flow of fluid or gas within a pipeline or system. Its primary function is to stop or permit the passage of the medium by opening or closing an internal component. This action can be achieved through various mechanisms, such as a rotating disc, a sliding gate, or a plug.

These valves are crucial in numerous applications across industries like water supply, oil and gas, chemical processing, and HVAC systems. They allow for isolation of sections of a system for maintenance, repair, or emergency shutdown. The selection of a specific type of elzárószelep depends on factors such as the fluid or gas being handled, the operating pressure and temperature, and the required flow control characteristics. Common types include ball valves, gate valves, and globe valves, each offering different advantages in terms of sealing, durability, and operational efficiency. Proper installation and maintenance of elzárószelepek are essential to ensure the safety and integrity of the system they are part of.
