    Valves control the flow and pressure of liquids and gases through piping systems. The main functions of valves are to start and stop flow, regulate pressure and flow levels, and direct the flow direction. Common valve types include gate, globe, ball, butterfly, check, and diaphragm valves. All valves have a body, bonnet, internal elements, actuator, and packing, but vary in their design and applications. Ball valves allow quarter turn on/off flow control, while globe valves regulate flow levels and check valves only permit one-way flow to prevent backflow. Gate valves provide full shut-off of flow and vary in materials like cast iron and stainless steel.

    VALVES
    • A Valve is a mechanical device that controls the flow and pressure of liquids, gases, vapours

    Functions of Valves:
    • stopping and starting/Reduce or increase a flow
    • Regulate a flow or process pressure
    • Control the direction of flow
    • Relieve a pipe system of pressure

    Different types of valves are available: gate, globe, plug, ball, butterfly, check, diaphragm, pinch, pressure relief,
    control valves.
    VALVES
    • There are many valve designs with a wide range of
    industrial applications that satisfy one or more of the
    stated functions. It is important that the appropriate valve
    is selected for a particular process to ensure efficient
    performance of the system and prevent accidents.
    • Regardless of type, all valves have the following basic
    parts: the body, bonnet, trim (internal elements), actuator,
    and packing.

    • Valve body - is the primary boundary of a pressure


    valve.
    • Bonnet - acts as a cover on the valve body
    BALL VALVES
    • A ball valve is a shut off valve that
    controls the flow of a liquid or gas by
    means of a rotary ball having a bore.

    Function:
    • By rotating the ball a quarter turn (90
    degrees) around its axis, the medium
    can flow through or is blocked.
    BALL VALVES
    Advantages
     Low cost
     High flow capacity
     Low leakage and maintenance

    Disadvantages
    • Not suitable for slurry applications due to
    cavities around the ball and seats. Slurries tend
    to solidify or clog inside the cavities, greatly
    increasing the operating torque of the valve
    and in some cases rendering the valve
    inoperable.
    GLOBE VALVES
    • Globe valves is a type of valve used
    for regulating/ controlling the flow of
    the medium.
    • They consist of a movable plug or disc
    element and a stationary ring seat in a
    generally spherical body.
    • This type of valve’s allows stem
    opening or closing at a short trip.
    • It has very reliable breaker function.
    • This type of valve is suitable for
    cutting, adjusting and throttling the
    medium.
    GATE VALVES
    • Gate valves are also called sluice
    valves are use for flow control. It
    can either be fully closed which
    restrict fluid flow or be fully
    open where it allows fluid flow.
    • Gate valves are usually made
    from cast iron and stainless
    steel.

    • The main parts of a gate valve


    are disk, bonnet and stem
    CHECK VALVES
    • A check valve is a device that only allows the flow of
    fluids in one direction. They have two ports, one as an
    inlet for the media and one as the output for the media.
    Since they only allow media flow in one direction,
    they are commonly referred to as one way valves or
    non return valves.
    • The main purpose of a check valve is to prevent
    backflow in the system. Backflow can cause an issue if
    the backflow is contaminated, and therefore,
    contaminates the media upstream. For example, a
    sewer line will have a non return valve to ensure that
    waste can leave but not re-enter the system.
    • They are also used if backflow will cause damage to
    equipment upstream that can only allow media to flow
    in one direction. For example, a reverse osmosis filter
    can only have water pass through it in one direction, so
    a one way valve is installed downstream to prevent
    this.
    CHECK VALVES
    They require a higher pressure on the input side of the valve than the output side to open the
    valve. This minimum upstream pressure at which the valve opening occurs is called the check
    valve cracking pressure. The specific cracking pressure changes based on the valve design and
    size. The back pressure pushes a gate, ball, diaphragm, or disc against the orifice and seals it.
    Depending on the design the closing process can be assisted by a spring or gravity. Depending on
    the valve type, the closure mechanism is different. Unlike other valves, they do not need a
    handle, lever, actuator, or human to correctly work.
