Pinch valve is a full bore type of control valve. No obstruction to flow passage. Major components of a pinch valve consists of body and a sleeve. The sleeve will contain the flow media and isolate it from the environment hence reducing contamination to the environment. The sleeve material can be selected upon the corrosiveness and abrasiveness of the flow media, a suitable synthetic polymer can be chosen. Pinch valve may be the best type of valve for flow control application if the operation temperature is within the limit of the polymer.
