Some of the reasons pinch valves are growing in popularity in water and wastewater are due to their robust design, limited maintenance requirements, reliability, accurate flow control and ease of maintenance.
For control purposes, a pinch valve has a linear flow control curve within its optimal control range. The rubber sleeve can be manufactured to the optimal internal size to provide accurate and repeatable flow control. In North America, most pinch valves for control include an electric actuator with a 4 to 20 milliampere signal to control the flow. Also, when fully closed, a pinch valve provides 100% tight shut-off that is better than the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) class VI shut-off.
