1. What is a cone valve?<br />

A cone valve is a rugged<br />

and highly dependable liquid<br />

control valve which can<br />

accurately modulate flows<br />

under extreme velocity,<br />

pressure, and temperature.<br />

The cone valve is simple<br />

in basic configuration, and<br />

made up of three primary<br />

components (See Figure 1 ):<br />

1. Actuation Mechanism:<br />

Serves the function of lifting<br />

and rotating the plug in the<br />

body.<br />

2. Plug:<br />

Conically shaped<br />

element with a cylindrical<br />

bore (full pipe diameter).<br />

3. Body: Supporting<br />

member for the plug. The<br />

body enables connection to<br />

adjacent piping or<br />

equipment, and supports the<br />

head which provides a<br />

mounting surface for the<br />

mechanism.<br />
