TYPE OF VALVE

Categories of Valves Flow regulating valves Temperature regulating valves Automatic process control valves

Application Description For controlling rate of flow. For controlling fluid temperature in a system. For controlling rate of flow relative to value. An automatic type of air valve preventing the formation of vacuum in tanks or pipelines. A valve which is used for cleaning sludge from a boiler. A gate valve. A valve in which a ball is free to rotate in any direction. A fire prevention valve which has a weighted lever hold open by a wire and fusible link which melts at an increase of room temperature. A control valve for water, oil, or hydraulic systems. A valve incorporating an element by virtue of which the energy within the emitting jet is dissipated. A single faced type of valve consisting of an open frame and a door and used in terminal positions only. Normal located in tanks or channels for controlling flow in to a pipe. A gate valve incorporating a sluicing effect. A valve controlling the flow of water through a radiator. A valve in which a rotation of internal parts regulates flow by opening ar closing a series of segmental ports. A spherical plug valve in which the plug, which rotates through 90o. A valve operated by by an electrical solenoid. A parallel slide valve. A valve which combines temperature.
