Forged Valve
Forged Valve is a device that regulates the flow of liquid in an industrial pipe line and is produced through a forging method to produce the body of the valve. Such valves are applicable where there is a need to regulate pressure and flow isolation. Choosing a forged valve depends on factors like pressure, temperature, nature of the fluid among others. Shree Ganesh Engineering Works produces MESCO brand of forged valves.
Key Features of Forged Valve
These valves provide strength, pressure and flow control. They depend on the design, material, pressure rating and operation of the valve.

Applications of Forged Valves
Forged valves can be used in many industries to provide reliable flow control and isolation. Some common applications include
Oil & Gas
Used in suitable applications
Petrochemical/ Chemical Plant
Selected based on the material and process line
Power Generation
Used within industrial pipework. Suitable for steam and utilities.
Refineries
Installed within process systems. Suitable for pressure rating, temperature and fluid.
Water Treatment
Used within suitable industrial water systems
Steel & Mining
Used within industrial process lines and utilities.
General Process Industries
Used for flow control and isolation
How to Select the Right Forged Valve
When selecting the correct forged valve it’s important to understand what you need for your pipework system. Depending on the application you will need to select the correct valve type, material, pressure rating and end connections
Considerations;
Type
Forged gate valves can be used for isolation, forged globe valves for suitable flow control, forged check valves to stop flow going backwards and forged ball valves for fast shut off.
Material
Select the correct material for your application, this can include carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel or suitable materials. This will depend on the fluid, corrosion and environment.
Pressure & Temperature Rating
Ensure the valve has the correct pressure and temperature rating.
Size & End Connections
Ensure the valve has the correct size and end connections, this can include threaded, socket weld, butt weld and flange based on the design of the product.
Operation
Manual or suitable actuated
Standards
Ensure the valve has the correct standards for design, inspection and testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a forged valve?
A forged valve is an industrial valve that has been made using a forging process. They can be used for flow control, isolation or direction of fluid depending on the valve design.
What are forged valves used for?
They can be used in oil & gas facilities, refineries, chemical/petrochemical plants, power generation and more process industries.
What are the benefits of forged steel valves?
Forged steel valves can provide a strong valve with a durable body and reliable pressure handling. This depends on the material, design, pressure rating and operating conditions.
What types of forged valves are there?
There are many types of forged valves including gate, globe, check, ball and plug. These will depend on if you need a valve for isolation, flow control or stopping backward flow.
How do I select the right forged valve?
Consider the fluid, pressure, temperature, size, material, end connections and what you need the valve for. Make sure you know what industry standards apply and that the valve you have selected meets the systems specifications.
