Valves
Industrial valves come in various types, including ball, butterfly, check, gate, globe and plug valves, each with specific applications and advantages for controlling fluid flow in industrial processes.
Here’s a more detailed look at some common types:
- Ball Valves:
These valves use a rotating ball with a hole to control flow, offering quick shut-off and on/off capabilities.
- Butterfly Valves:
They utilize a disc that rotates to regulate flow, known for their space-saving design and suitability for handling large flows.
- Check Valves:
These valves prevent backflow by allowing fluid to flow in only one direction.
- Gate Valves:
These valves use a wedge-shaped disc to control flow, commonly used for on/off applications in larger pipes.
- Globe Valves:
These valves use a disc that moves up and down to regulate flow, offering good throttling capabilities.
- Plug Valves:
These valves use a plug with a hole that rotates to control flow
- Diaphragm Valves:
These valves use a flexible diaphragm to control flow, suitable for applications involving corrosive or abrasive fluids.
- Control Valves:
These valves are designed to precisely regulate flow and pressure, often used in automated systems.
- Safety and Relief Valves:
These valves are designed to prevent overpressure in systems by automatically releasing excess pressure.
