A valve is to be installed in a pipeline to convey fluid such as water, oil, gas and etc. to obtain following very important roll.
a) Complete isolation of the flow
b) Control of the flow rate
There are many types of valve and they are used based on its use as follow:
i) Gate Valve: This is very popular and widely used to isolate the flow
ii) Globe Valve: This type of valve is used for complete shut off of the flow and roughly flow control in some cases.
iii) Check Valve (Non-return valve): This type of valve is used for only to prevent reverse flow when the flow in the pipeline is stopped.
iv) Needle Valve: This type of valve is used for relatively accurate manual control of the flow.
v) Ball Valve: This type is operated only 90 degree rotation to full open from to full closed position and is used for relatively in higher pressure with small pressure loss.
vi) Butterfly Valve: This is mainly used for Large Diameter in Low pressure line like water works, desalination plant, cooling circulation water line in a power generating plants.
vii) Control valve: This is used for control of flow to control flow rate, pressure, temperature and any other purpose of control of the flow.
viii) Regulators: These valves control pressure, temperature etc by itself, without any power such as electricity, air, water, hydraulic etc.
It is very important to know and distinguish a valve manufacturer who has a long and enough technical know how and experiences.
We, ESCO always recommend to our customer having such a excellent manufacturers and it is also our know how.
