B. Description of the Related Art ‘Valves are mechanical devices for the control ofthe flow ‘orpressure of the fluids ina pipeline or between components ‘of a machine. They may be automatic, such as those oper- ated by pressure against a spring behind it, or non-automatic, ‘such as a stop-cock operated by turning a wheel ‘The typical complete valve consists of an actuator and a valve body. The body is a pressure tight ting that contains variable orifice through which the liquid passes by, and an, actuator, which provides the power to move a plug or balile to vary the flow area of the orifice, The motion of the ‘operator is transmitted through a stuffing box or bellows seal in the body wall to move the valve plug. ‘The most common types of valve designs are the butterily valve, diaphragm valve and the sliding-stem body valve ‘The butterfly valve comprises a valve body having a plug. disc rotary mounted on a shalt passing diametrically ough said dise, changing from an open to a closed state by rotating ‘said plug disc over its own axis. This type of valve has the advantage that it is economical in lange sizes and can be rubber lined to provide tight shutoll; however it is not suitable for fluids at a high pressures mainly because the plug dise has a tendency to rotate when a high pressure is, applied to the plug disc, causing the valve to open at an undesired rate ‘The diaphragm valve comprises «main body having an orifice including an elastic diaphragm which is pushed against the orifice by an actuator in order to intecrupt the flow trough the orifice. The diaphragm can be made of many
