VALVE
Avalveis a device that regulates, directs or
controls the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids,
fluidized solids, orslurries) by opening,
closing, or partially obstructing various
passageways.
Classification:

1.Methods of Control
2.Valve Function

CLASSIFICATION

I. Methods of Control
1. Linear Motion Valves
2. Rotary Motion Valves

- use a closure member that

moves in a straight line to start,
stop, or throttle the flow.
- closure device could be a
disc, slat or flexible material,
like a diaphragm
-tend to be slower in operation,
but they have a higher level of
accuracy and stability in the
position of the closure member.
-ex. gate valves, globe valves,
fixed cone valves, needle
valves, and pinch valves.

CLASSIFICATION

I. Methods of Control
1. Linear Motion Valves
2. Rotary Motion Valves- rotate a disc or ellipse about an
angular or circular shaft extending
across the diameter of an orifice.
-also known as

quarter turn valves

- Quarter turn valves will be in their

fully open or fully closed state (0)
after a 90 turn of the stem
-ball valves, butterfly valves, plug
valves, and spherical valves.

CLASSIFICATION

II. Valve Function

1. Start/Stop
2. Throttle
3. Non-return

- valves are used for systems

that do not need the flow
throttled
- valve opens to allow flow and
closes to stop flow
-are used when flow needs to be
diverted or for mixing
applications when exact
measurements are not required

CLASSIFICATION

II. Valve Function

1. Start/Stop
2. Throttle
3. Non-return

- or control valves control the speed

and capacity of flow, temperature, or
pressure, through a system.
- be moved into any position,
including fully opened and fully
closed, be operated with a
manual hand wheel or can be
equipped with an automated
actuator.
- pressure regulators are
responsible for varying the valves
position to maintain constant
pressure downstream

CLASSIFICATION

II. Valve Function

1. Start/Stop
2. Throttle
3. Non-return

- or check valves control the

direction of flow.
- Flow in the desired direction opens
the valve, while flow in the opposite
direction forces the valve closed.
- important for preventing backflow
to systems

Some Examples of Rotary Valves

o Ball Valve
o Butterfly Valve
o Plug Valve

Some Examples of Rotary Valves

o Ball Valve
- uses a hollow, perforated and pivoting ball (called a
"floating ball") to control flow through it.
- It is open when the ball's hole is in line with the flow and
closed when it is pivoted 90-degrees by the valve handle.

Some Examples of Rotary Valves

o Butterfly Valve
- can be used for isolating or regulatingflow
- valve is fully open or closed when the disc is rotated a
quarter turn.
- when valve is closed, the disc is turned so that it
completely blocks off the passageway.
- when valve is fully open, the disc is rotated a quarter
turn so that it allows an almost unrestricted passage of
the fluid.

Some Examples of Rotary Valves

o Plug Valve
- arevalveswith cylindrical or conically tapered "plugs"
which can be rotated inside the valve body to control flow
through the valve.
- plugs have one or more hollow passageways going
sideways through the plug, so that fluid can flow through the
plug when the valve is open.
- plug valves are simple and often economical.
