Valves and it's Classification ‼️✅
 |
Valves are devices that control the flow of fluids (liquids, gases, or slurries) in a system. Here's a classification of valves:
Types of Valves
1. *Gate Valves*: Used for on/off control, typically fully open or fully closed.
2. *Globe Valves*: Used for regulating flow, can be used for throttling.
3. *Ball Valves*: Quarter-turn valves used for on/off control.
4. *Butterfly Valves*: Used for regulating flow, often in large pipe sizes.
5. *Check Valves*: Allow flow in one direction, prevent backflow.
6. *Needle Valves*: Used for precise flow control.
7. *Relief Valves*: Designed to release pressure in a system.
Classification by Function
1. *Isolation Valves*: Used to isolate sections of a system.
2. *Regulation Valves*: Used to regulate flow or pressure.
3. *Safety Valves*: Designed to protect systems from overpressure.
Classification by Operation
1. *Manual Valves*: Operated by hand (e.g., handwheel, lever).
2. *Actuated Valves*: Operated by an external power source (e.g., electric, pneumatic).
