Valve Equal Percentage

Valve Equal Percentage, or VEP, is one of the most common and effective types of control valves used in many industrial applications. It’s an official business definition that explains why it’s so widely utilized for regulating the flow of water, oil and other fluids. The VEP design works by reducing the pressure throughout the valve as the percentage of its opening increases; this allows the flow rate to remain relatively constant across a wide range of parameters. Its unique features coupled with its longevity and efficiency have made it a standout when compared to other types of control valves. Combining theoretical concepts with practical applications, VEP offers a highly efficient yet simple solution for controlling fluid flow!
