    Valves control the flow of fluids through piping systems. There are two main types - stop valves, which shut off or control flow, and check valves, which allow flow in one direction. Stop valves include globe valves, gate valves, butterfly valves, and ball valves. Check valves include swing-check, lift-check, and ball-check valves. Specialty valves include relief valves, pressure-reducing valves, and remote-operated valves.

    VALVES

    …Moving fluids
    Objectives
    • Comprehend the basic construction and
    application of valves used
    Valves
    • Def’n: devices which control the amount and
    direction of fluid flow in piping systems
    • Typically made of bronze, brass, iron, or steel
    alloy
    • Components:
    - Valve body - Packing
    - Disc - Packing gland/nut
    - Seat - Stem
    - Bonnet - Wheel
    Types of Valves
    • Two basic groups:
    • Stop valves - used to shut off or partially shut
    off the flow of fluid ( ex: globe, gate, plug,
    needle, butterfly)
    • Check Valves - used to permit flow in only one
    direction (ex: ball-check, swing-check, lift-
    check)
    • Special types:
    • Relief valves
    • Pressure-reducing valves
    • Remote-operated valves
    Stop Valves
    • Globe Valves
    • Most common type of stop valve
    • Used in steam, air, water, & oil lines
    • Disc attached to valve stem rests against seat
    to shut off flow of fluid
    • Adv: Used for throttling
    • Disadv: flow resistance
    Globe Valve
    Stop Valves
    • Gate Valves
    • Used when there must be straight-line flow
    of fluid w/ min. resistance
    • Gate usually wedge-shaped or a vertical disc
    • Adv: No flow restrictions
    • Disadv: poor throttling
    Gate Valve
    Stop Valves
    • Butterfly Valves
    • Used in water, fuel, and ventilation systems
    • Adv: small, light-weight, & quick-acting
    • Disadv: leaks early & only low-flow throttle
    • Ball Valves
    • Similar to butterfly valves
    • Normally found in seawater, sanitary, trim
    and drain, and hydraulic systems
    Butterfly Valve
    Check Valves
    • Controls direction of flow
    • Operated by flow of fluid in pipe
    • Types:
    • Swing check - disc moves through an arc
    • Lift check - disc moves up and down
    • Ball check - ball is located at end of stem and
    lifts to allow flow
    Swing-check Valve
    Relief Valves
    • Used to protect piping system from
    excessive pressure
    • Opens automatically when fluid pressure
    becomes too high (pressure acts against
    spring pressure)
    • Relieving pressure set by an adjusting
    screw
    Pressure-reducing Valves
    • Used to automatically provide a steady,
    lower pressure to a system from a higher
    pressure source
    • Used in air, lube-oil, seawater, and other
    systems
    Remote-operated Valves
    • Valves that allow operation from distant
    stations
    • Types:
    • Mechanical - uses reach rods and gears
    • Hydraulic - uses fluid and piston set up
    • Motor - uses and electric or pneumatic
    motor
    • Solenoid - uses coil and core mechanism to
    open or close on an electric signal
