A plug valve is a right-angle rotary motion manual valve. It uses a cylindrical or conical plug (plug disc) to allow or prevent straight-through flow through the body. Plug valves provide a straight-through passage through a port so that fluid can flow through the open plug with minimal turbulence. Flow can be fully open or fully closed in either direction.

Plug valves have been used in many different fluid services. They perform well in slurry applications. They are used as on/off shutoff valves in airtight service. They are used in air, gas and steam service, natural gas and oil piping systems, food processing, non-abrasive slurries, vacuum, pharmaceutical service, and vacuum to high pressure applications. They are suitable for on-off valves, diverter service and moderate throttling. Originally, plug valves were intended to replace gate valves because, compared to gate valves, plug valves have a quarter-turn action and can be easily opened and closed against the flow.

Pinch valve is squeezed by pneumatic, electric, manual or hydraulic driving methods to achieve the role of switching/adjusting. A pinch valve is a valve that uses flexible tubing that can be pinched or compressed to shut off the flow of fluid or gas through the valve. When the sleeve is not clamped, the valve opens and fluid or gas can flow through it.

The magnetic drive pump is a new type of sealless pump that uses the principle of permanent magnet transmission technology to achieve contactless transmission of torque. There is no mechanical connection between the driving shaft and the driven shaft, and no dynamic seal is required in the structure. Therefore, this type of pump has no seal and can achieve zero leakage. The magnetic drive pump is especially suitable for transporting flammable, explosive, volatile, toxic, and hazardous materials. For corrosion and precious liquids, magnetic pumps are mostly used in situations where the magnetic drive pump can only leak slightly or even without leakage, as well as in high vacuum situations where mechanical seals are difficult to handle.

The clamp meter is a combination of a current transformer and an ammeter. Usually, when measuring current with an ordinary ammeter, it is necessary to cut off the circuit to stop before the ammeter can be accessed for measurement, which is very troublesome, and sometimes the normal operation of the motor does not allow this to be done. At this time, the use of a clamp ammeter is much more convenient, you can not cut off the circuit to measure the current.
