  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. What is a Check Valve?

    What is a Check Valve?
    A check valve is a mechanical device used to allow fluid (liquid or gas) to flow in one direction while preventing it from flowing in the opposite direction. It is also known as a non-return valve, one-way valve, or a clack valve. Check valves typically consist of a valve body with an inlet and an outlet port, and a movable internal component,
  3. What is a Solenoid Valve?

    What is a Solenoid Valve?
    A solenoid valve is an electromechanical device that is used to control the flow of fluid or gas through a pipe or duct. It consists of a coil of wire, a movable plunger or armature, and a valve body with one or more ports. When an electric current is passed through the coil, a magnetic field is created that pulls the plunger or armature into the
  4. What is a Needle Valve?

    What is a Needle Valve?
    A needle valve is a type of valve that has a long, tapered needle-like stem that is used to regulate the flow of fluid through the valve. The stem is moved in or out of the valve seat to increase or decrease the size of the opening through which fluid can flow. Advantages of needle valves include: 1. Precise flow control: Needle valves are
  5. What is a Diaphragm Valve?

    What is a Diaphragm Valve?
    Diaphragm valves are a type of valve used to control the flow of fluids in industrial processes. They are named for their flexible diaphragm, which is used to regulate the flow of fluid through the valve. The diaphragm is a flexible membrane made of rubber or plastic, which is held in place between two or more ports. When the valve is opened,
  6. What is a Plug Valve?

    What is a Plug Valve?
    What is a plug valve? A plug valve is a type of valve used to control the flow of fluid through a pipeline or other system. It consists of a cylindrical or conical plug with a through-hole that can be rotated within the valve body to open or close the flow path. When the plug is rotated 90 degrees, the through-hole aligns with the flow path
  7. What is a Gate Valve?

    What is a Gate Valve?
    What is a gate valve? A gate valve is a type of valve used to control the flow of liquids or gases. It is named after the gate or wedge-shaped disk that moves perpendicular to the flow of fluid inside the valve body to control the opening and closing of the valve. When the gate valve is fully open, the disk or gate is completely removed from
  8. What is a Sanitary Valve?

    What is a Sanitary Valve?
    What is a sanitary valve? A sanitary valve is a specialized valve that is designed for use in industries that require high levels of cleanliness and hygiene, such as the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotech industries. These valves are used to control the flow of liquids or gases in processing systems and are designed to meet strict
  9. What is a Butterfly Valve?

    What is a Butterfly Valve?
    A butterfly valve is a type of flow control device that is used to regulate the flow of fluids through a pipe or duct. It gets its name from the way it operates - the valve disc, which is typically round or oval in shape, rotates around a central axis to control the flow of fluid. When the disc is turned perpendicular to the flow, it blocks the
  10. What is a Ball Valve?

    What is a Ball Valve?
    A ball valve is a type of quarter-turn valve that uses a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball-shaped disk to control the flow of fluids, gases, and other materials in a piping system. The ball valve gets its name from the spherical ball, which rotates around an axis perpendicular to the flow of the material. Ball valves are widely used in
