Valves 101

Valves are mechanical devices that control the flow and/ or pressure within a system or process. They are normally essential components of a piping system that conveys liquids, gases, vapors, slurries etc. Valves are the controlling element in any fluid-handling system. They should be properly selected and cared for to give the best service at the lowest cost.

Different types of valves are available: gate, globe, plug, ball, butterfly, check, diaphragm, and control valves. Each of these types has a number of models, each with different features and functional capabilities. Some valves are self-operated some manually operated or with an actuator or pneumatic or hydraulic is operated.
