Valve
Introduction to Valves
Importance of various industries
Valves play a critical role in industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, chemical processing, power generation,
and many more. They ensure the safe and efficient operation of systems and process.
Purpose of valve
Valves are essential devices used to control the flow of fluids, gases, and other substances in various
industries.
Types of valve
• Gate
valve
• Global
valve
valve
• Hydraulic relief
• Ball valve
• Check valve
Gate valve
How do gate valve works
Gate valves control the flow of fluid by raising or lowering a
gate. When the gate is raised, fluid can flow through the valve.
When the gate is lowered, the flow is blocked.
Where are gate valve used?
Gele valywe commonly used in plumbing systeme and
industrial applications, They are suitable for both on/off
and throtting amplications
Advantages of Gate
Valves
• Gate Valves offor low fluid resistance when tully open,
allowing for high flow rates. They provide a tight pear
when closed prclased preventing any leakage. Gale
valves are durable and can handle high-pressure and
high-temperature applications.
Globe
valve How do glode valve works?
Globe valves are primarily used in a basic water faucet. Upon
turning the handwheel, there is lowering or lifting of the disc.
If the disc is lowered to the maximum, the water supply How
completely shuts off. However, when the disc is at its
topmost position, the flow of water is at its highest rate.
Advantage of globe
valve
• Good shutoff capability
Moderate to good throttling capability •
Easy to machine or resurface the seats •
Application of globe
valve
• Water
treatment
• Process
Control
• Flow
Regulation
Hydraulic relief
valve How do Hydraulic relief valve works?
Relief valves are the most common type of valve found in a
hydraulic system. Their purpose is to prevent high pressure
in the hydraulic circuit from damaging the system
components. Relief valves are normally closed; whenever
one is open, it is converting the pressure energy of the
hydraulic system directly to heat.
Advantage of hydraulic relief valve
• Increased efficiency
• Accuracy
• Reliability, and flexibility
Application of Hydraulic relief valve
Fall arrest safety harnesses •
• Forklift
• pumps
Ball Valves
Description
Bail valves are quartor tuns valves that use a rotating bal to
control the flow of fisad. They one commonly used in
applications that require tight shut-off
Working Principle
Ball valves have a froflow, perforated, end pivoting ball with a
hole in the verder. When the valve is open, the hole Is in line
with the flow path, allowing fluid to pass through, When the
valve is closed, the ball is rotated 190 degrees, blocking the
flow path
Advantages
• Exmatent shut-off capability
••
Compact and lightweight
design
• Easy to operate and
maintain
Applications
• Industrial
• proces
Water and wastewater
treatment
• Oil and gas industry
Check
Valves
What are Check
Valves?
Check valves are designed to slow Huid tu flow in one
direction and prevent backflow. They are commonly Unert
in plumbing systame and wastewater trautment plants
How do Chack Valves Work?
Check valves use a swinging or spring-isadod mechanism to
open and class the valve. When Huid flaws in the desired
direction, the valve apens and allows the fled to pass through.
When there is backflow, the walve clases to provant the fluid
from tlowing baciowands
Common Applications
• Plumbing systomo.
•
• Wastewater treatment plante.
•
• Oil and gas pipelines
Conclusio
n
Valvos play a crucial rolo in controlling the flow of fluid in
various industres. Understanding the different types of vahwa is
important for salecting the right welve for specific applications,
