VALVES

Needle Valve

The needle valve design is


similar to a globe valve. Its biggest
difference is that its disk looks Needle-
like pointed. This is normally used in
an instrument where an accurate flow
of fluid is necessary. This is used in a
small diameter pipe. It is used in
applications where shallow pressure
can be controlled.

Butterfly Valve

The butterfly valve is also a quarter-turn


rotary motion valve. It also helps in regulating
flow start-stop. Its biggest benefit is that its body
is very thin so it gives it the least space in the
piping system, due to this the butterfly valve is
used in many applications. It is very compact and
lightweight and it takes considerably less space
as compared to other valves. So, it is very easy
and fast to open. In this, the disk moves like a
butterfly in a closed space.

Pressure Relief Valve

The pressure relief releases the


pressure whenever an overpressure event
occurs in the pressure relief piping system
or in the equipment, and the vacuum that is
created by it is abolished by vacuum valves
and protects the piping system. So, the
pressure relief secures the piping system.
