Classification of Control Valves

Control valves are classified as either linear or rotary based on their movement, and are further divided into types such as globe, gate, butterfly, and ball valves. Linear valves include globe, gate, and diaphragm valves which use a linear motion, while rotary valves such as butterfly and ball valves use a rotary or turning motion. Control valves are also classified by their guiding method, characterization, and intended application.
