Valves

Valves are devices used to control the flow of fluids in various industries. They come in different types such as gate valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, globe valves, check valves, and pressure relief valves. Gate valves slide open or closed, ball valves rotate a ball to control flow, and butterfly valves have a disk that rotates for flow control. Globe valves move perpendicular to the flow, check valves allow one-way flow, and pressure relief valves release excess pressure. Valves play a vital role in regulating processes, ensuring safety, and maintaining efficient fluid handling systems. Proper maintenance is important to keep valves working properly and prevent issues like leaks or malfunctions.
