Valves A valve is a device that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries)

by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. Gate valve The gate valve is a valve that opens by lifting a gate or knife (which can be round or rectangular) allowing the passage of fluid. the material of manufacture of this valve is: cast iron, cast steel or bronze It is used for: cooling water, ballast water, bilge system, cargo (oil system), fire line, foam lines, etc. Advantage High capacity. Hermetically sealed. Low flow resistance.

Disadvantages vertical dimensions weight

Globe Valve The Globe valve is of multi-turn, in which the closure is achieved by means of a disk or plug that saw or cutting fluid passage in a seat which is generally parallel with the circulation pipe. the globe valve acts a non-return valve. the material of manufacture of this valve is: cast iron, bronze, stainless steel. in use for: cooling water, steam, various clean water system. Advantages: Easy Maintenance Non-return possibility. Easily adjustable flow

Disadvantages Restricted flow, turbulence Remote control only manually

Butterfly valve A butterfly valve is a device to stop or regulate the flow of a fluid in a pipe, increasing or reducing the passage section by a plate called "butterfly", which rotates on an axis. By reducing the passage area increases the local pressure drop across the valve, reducing the flow

the material of manufacture of this valve is: ring of cast steel or cast iron, disc of bronze. Advantages simple actuator nearly unrestricted flow

Disadvantages difficult flow regulation

Ball Valve It is a stopcock mechanism that serves to regulate the flow of a fluid canalized and is characterized in that the regulatory mechanism located on the inside is shaped like perforated sphere.

the material of manufacture of this valve will depend on its use, commonly used stainless steel, it is mainly used for chemicals. Advantages Double seal Fast opening or closing Simple actuator

Disadvantages Expensive Heavy
