    Gate valve A straight through pattern valve in which closure element is a wedge situated between two fixed seating surfaces, with means to move it in or out of the flow stream in a direction perpendicular to the pipeline axis. Next to mothers smile, books are the best.

    Valve Maintenance
    Globe valve A valve whose closure element is a flat disc or conical plug sealing on a seat which is usually parallel to the flow axis.

    Can be used for throttling services.

    Used as a isolation valve, not as a control valve.


    The closure element of a gate valve is called gate, wedge or disc.

    Globe Valve
    Generally used as a throttling valve, sometimes used as a Isolation valve.

    The closure element of a Globe valve is plug.

    Check valve A one-directional valve which is opened by the fluid flow in one direction and closed automatically when the flow stops or is reversed. Lack of confidence is not the result of difficulty, the difficulty comes from lack of confidence.

    Control Valve

    It is used to control the fluid flow to maintain the process parameters as per requirement.
    It is actuated using pneumatic/Hydraulic /Motorised actuator.

    Valve Operating Procedure

    1) Open/close the valve slowly.


    2) Clean the valve spindle, if found dirty. 3) Dont try to further opened/closed valve. open/close already

    4) After opening valve fully, it should be closed a little to ensure that wheel is free.

    5) Open by pass valve first wherever it is provided with main valve.


    A long dispute means that both parties are wrong.

    Valve Maintenance
    Valve Operating Procedure (Contd..) 6) When valve is passing, dont try to close by excess load, reopen the valve and close again. 7) Avoid hammering on the wheel. 8) First try to open/close the valve by hand. If required, use proper size of F-rod. 9) Avoid over travel of Isolation/Control valve. 10)Gate valve should not be kept partial open. 11)Try to avoid prolong extreme throttled operation of Globe Valve. Govern yourself and you will be able to govern the world.

    Problems Associated with Valves 1) Passing

    2) Hard to operate/Over-travel
    3) Gland leakage 4) Incorrect Installation of Valve 5) Bonnet leakage 6) Free movement of Wheel/Valve Spindle (No movement of disc/ valve plug) One who cannot forgive others, destroys the bridge over which he himself must pass.

    Valve Maintenance
    Problems Associated with Valves (Contd..) 1) Valve Passing due to a) Cut marks/Scratches Disc/Plug. on seat ring or

    b) Cracks on seat ring or Disc/Plug. c) Improper tightening of valve. Remedy i.

    2) Hard to operate a) Due to newly filled gland packing or over size gland packing. b) Due to bending of Stem/Spindle.

    c) Jamming of disc on seat by over travel.


    d) Rusty/Dirty stem/nut thread. e) Stem bearing damaged. . Imagination is the eye of the soul.

    Problems Associated with Valves (Contd..) 3) Gland Leakage

    a) Gland packing damaged.


    b) Wrongly fitted gland packing. c) Loose Gland.

    4) Incorrect Installation of Valve


    a) Valves are designed for uniflow direction so always check the direction before installation. b) Valve should be in horizontal pipe line. vertical position in
