    1. Ball valves are quarter-turn rotary valves that use a spherical disk to start and stop fluid flow. They are smaller and lighter than gate valves of the same size. 2. Gate valves are the most common type of valve used in process plants. They are linear motion valves that are either fully open or closed to start and stop flow. Gate valves are used for almost all fluid services. 3. Globe valves are used to control and regulate fluid flow. They provide better shut-off than gate valves but are more expensive. This document summarizes and compares common types of valves used in industrial processes, including their basic designs and applications.

    t. 6ALL VALVE rS A QUARTER-IURN ROTARY MOTION vALVE THAT USES A


    BALL-SHAPEO OISK TO STOP OR START THE FLOW. MOST BALL VALVES ARE
    OF THE QUICK.ACTING TyPE, WHICH REQUTRES A qOO TURN OF THE VALYS
    HANDLE TO OPERATE THE VALVE. THE BALT VALVE IS SMALLER AND LIGHTER
    THAN A GATE VALVE OF' THE SAME SIZE AND RATIN6.

    2. GATE VALVE IS THE MOST COMMON TYPE OF VALYE IN ANY PROCESS


    PLAt.{T. 1T TS A LINEAR MOTlON VALVE USEO TO START OR STOP FLUTO
    FLOW. IN SERYICE, THESE VALVES ARE EITHER IN A FUTLY OPEN OR FULLY
    CLOSEO POSITION, 6ATE VALYEg ARE USEO [N ALMOST ALL FLUID SERVICES
    sucH As AIR, FU€L 6AS, FEEOWATER, sTEAM, LU6E OIL, HyOROCARBON,
    ANO ALL MOST ANY SERVICES. THE GATE VALVE PROVIOES A GOOO
    SHUTOFF.

    3. G[OBE VALVE IS USED TO GTOp, SrARr, AND RE6ULATE THE FLUID FLOW,
    GLOBE vALyES ARE USED rN THE SySTEMS WHERE FLOW CONTROT IS
    REQUIRED AND LEAK TIGHTNESS IS ALSO NECESSARy. GLotss VALyE
    PROVIDES BETTER SHUT OFF AS COMPARED TO THE GATE YALYE AND IT I9
    COSTIIER THAN A GATE VALYE.
