Globe Valves. The Disc construction of a globe valve permits closer regulation.
Check Valves perform the single function of preventing flow in one direction. Positive flow keeps these valves open, and reverse flow closes the check automatically.
Relieving Pressure
Exit
Safety or Relief Valves. They are usually spring loaded valves which open automatically when pressure exceeds a set limit.
Types of valves

Diaphragm Actuators
The diaphragm type usually consists of a spring which opposes the air pressure applied against the diaphragm Spring-less types of diaphragm actuators, in which controlled air pressure is applied to either side of the diaphragm, are also quite common. The piston type actuators are usually without springs.
In which direction does this actuator fail? What must you do before removing this?
Typical Piston Actuators: Piston actuators are usually smaller and slightly faster than diaphragm actuators but require higher pressure air. They can also handle hotter environments.
Fisher 3582
As with most valve operators, the 3582 can be set up for normally open valves, normally closed valves, and valves with a variety of flow characteristics depending on which cam is selected and how the positioner is calibrated.
Valve Position:
Full Open
Valve Limit Switches The convention at Palo Verde: Red light = Valve open Green light = valve shut
Limit switches are usually set up at 90% or 95% open and 5% or 10% open.
Be careful when working on limit switches as they work backward from what you may think.

Bench Set
Refers to the spring compression setting required to ensure the actuator matches the given valve service conditions; initial force, unbalance force, seat load, travel Bench Set is performed with the actuator stem disconnected from the valve stem
Valve Stroke
The distance the plug or stem moves in order to go from a full-closed to a full-open position A valve may be capable of traveling further than its nameplate stroke distance
Positive Seat
The process of ensuring the valve plug is securely positioned in the valve seat prior to setting stroke length This establishes one of the two positive stops in setting valve stroke. Bubble Tight is a term used in the industry to describe the ability of a control valve to completely shut off flow, but it is not a realistic standard Control valves are not isolation valves
