Valves

Gate Valve

A valve with a flat or tapered gate that moves in a linear way over a seat to control flow

Cross Section Of a Gate Valve

Gate valves are designed to ensure a straight line flow and to reduce to a minimum the pressure drop due to friction. . Not recommended for throttling applications

Rising (Stem) type gate valve

It is very difficult for us to determine whether a valve is rising or non rising by just looking at the picture. So please do not assume if it is not mentioned in the description

Check valve/Non- Return Valve (NRV)

A valve that automatically limits flow in a piping system to a single direction.

Swing Check Valve

Check valves are used to prevent the back-flow in a pipeline. The pressure of flowing fluid keeps the valve open, and any reversal of flow closes it.

Needle valve

A type of valve where a tapered tip on the stem enters deeply into a stationary ring seat. Used primarily for throttling, (not for shut-off applications) and in tube/instrumentation type systems.

Needle valve

Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV)

A valve designed to reduce the pressure of the fluid

Float valve

Pneumatic or Hydraulic Valves

Pneumatic Control Valve

Rotary (Pneumatic) Control Valve

An enclosure with externally driven multiple rotating vanes.

Cock Valve

A valve specifically designed with a tapered rotating plug which mates to a stationary tapered seat which allows flow from 0 to 100% in 90 degrees of motion. Commonly used in low pressure applications

Diaphragm Valve

A valve with an internal diaphragm that seals the flow stream from the valve operating mechanism. The flow is controlled by the diaphragm lifting from or compressing against a weir or protruding

Open

Throttling

Close

Safety Relief valve/Safety Valve

A valve that automatically releases pressure beyond a specified limit and may or may not automatically re-close upon return to normal working conditions.

Saddle valve
A saddle valve is a valve used to supply liquid where a low volume, low pressure liquid stream is required These valves can be installed without shutting off the main water supply.

Saddle valve

The valve with a connection facility to saddle over a line and to be bolted and having a line piercing facility. Flow is controlled by the action of stem.
