What is a Valve? And Different Types of Valves Explained

What is a valve? What are the different types of Valves in the market? A valve is a device that regulates, directs or controls fluid flow (gas, liquid, fluidized solids or slurry) by opening, closing, or partially blocking various aisles. Valves are technical fittings but are usually discussed as separate categories. In an open valve, the fluid flows in the direction from high pressure to low pressure. The simplest, and very ancient, the valve is simply a freely hinged flap which drops to obstruct fluid (gas or liquid) flow in one direction but is pushed open by flow in the opposite direction. This is called a check valve, as it prevents or "checks" the flow in one direction. Modern control valves may regulate pressure or flow downstream and operate on sophisticated automation systems. Valves have many uses, including controlling water for irrigation, industrial needs to control processes, use of housing such as on / off and pressure control for dishwash

Butterfly valves & Its types. Explained.

What is a Butterfly valve? And Its Types The butterfly valve is a closing valve with a relatively simple construction. In a closed position, the disc blocks the valve hole when in the open position, the disc is rotated to allow flow. A quarter turn takes the valve from the fully open position to the fully closed, or opposite position, and thus the butterfly valve allows for quick opening and closing. Butterfly valves can be used for a variety of applications in water supply, wastewater treatment, fire protection and gas supply, in the chemical and oil industries, in fuel handling systems, power generation etc. Some advantages for this type of valve are that simple construction does not take up too much space, and is lightweight and costs less than other valve designs. Valves can be operated with handles, gears or actuators according to specific needs. Main design of butterfly valves      The butterfly valve can be centric or eccentric.
