  1. V-Port Ball Valves

    V-Port Ball Valves
    V-Port ball valves are a type of control valve that is designed with a v-shaped port or bore in the ball, as opposed to the traditional full-bore or reduced-bore designs. This unique v-port configuration allows for more precise control over the flow of fluid through the valve. The v-shaped port in the ball is a key distinguishing feature. The
  2. Temperature Effects on Actuated Valves

    Temperature Effects on Actuated Valves
    The performance and service life of actuated valves are affected by temperature in various ways. There are several factors to consider, and this article will discuss these factors and common failure modes for both valves and actuators. First, however, a primer on heat transfer principles and terminology. Convection vs Conduction vs Radiation
  3. Brass vs PVC Valves

    Brass vs PVC Valves
    Brass valves and PVC valves are both commonly used in plumbing and fluid control applications, but they have distinct characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages. 1. Material: Brass Valves: Brass valves are made from an alloy of copper and zinc, which gives them good durability, strength, and corrosion resistance. Brass valves are suitable
  4. Stainless vs Carbon Steel Valves

    Stainless vs Carbon Steel Valves
    Stainless steel valves and carbon steel valves are both widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential applications. They have different properties and characteristics that make them suitable for different uses. 1. Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel valves are highly resistant to corrosion, while carbon steel valves are more
  5. Stainless vs Brass Valves

    Stainless vs Brass Valves
    Stainless steel valves and brass valves are both popular choices for industrial, commercial, and residential applications. While they are both valve types, they have different properties and characteristics that make them suitable for different uses. 1. Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel valves are more corrosion-resistant than brass valves.
  6. PVC Valve Construction

    PVC Valve Construction
    PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a popular material used for making valves due to its affordability, durability, and resistance to corrosion and chemicals. PVC valves are commonly used in a variety of applications, including water and sewage systems, chemical processing, and irrigation systems. There are several types of PVC valves available,
  7. Stainless Valve Construction

    Stainless Valve Construction
    Stainless steel is a popular material choice for valve construction due to its excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and strength. However, there are also some disadvantages to consider when using stainless steel for valve construction. Advantages of stainless steel for valve construction: 1. Corrosion resistance: Stainless steel is
  8. Brass Valve Construction

    Brass Valve Construction
    Brass is a popular material for valve construction due to its excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and malleability. There are several types of brass that can be used for valve construction, each with their own unique properties and characteristics. Here are some of the most common types: 1. Free Cutting Brass: This type of brass contains
  9. Plug Valves vs Globe Valves

    Plug Valves vs Globe Valves
    Plug valves and globe valves are both types of valves used to control the flow of fluids in piping systems. Here are some advantages and disadvantages of each. Advantages of Plug Valves: 1. Quick Operation: Plug valves have a simple design that allows for quick operation. They can be opened or closed with a quarter turn of the handle. 2. Low
  10. Gate Valves vs Globe Valves

    Gate Valves vs Globe Valves
    Gate valves and globe valves are both commonly used types of valves in various industries, but they differ in their design, function, and applications. Here are the main differences between gate valves and globe valves: 1. Design: • Gate valves have a rectangular or circular gate that slides across the flow path to open or close the valve
