Racer Needle Valves
What are Racer Needle Valves?
Racer Needle Valves are precision-engineered valves designed for fine control of fluid flow in high-pressure systems. Featuring a slender, tapered needle-like plunger, they provide accurate flow regulation in applications like instrumentation, chemical dosing, and laboratory piping systems.
Asiad Steel Industries offers Racer Needle Valves known for tight shutoff capability and corrosion resistance across a wide range of fluids.
Key Features

Do you have questions?
Can Racer Needle Valves be used with corrosive fluids?
Yes, especially those made from SS 316 or Monel are corrosion-resistant.
What is the max temperature these valves can handle?
Most models support up to 425°C depending on material and seat type.
Do you provide needle valves with locking arrangements?
Yes, locking stem needle valves are available upon request.
Are Racer Needle Valves pressure-tested?
Absolutely. Each valve undergoes 100% hydrostatic and pneumatic testing.
