Quarter Turn Rotary Valves Overview

This document discusses quarter turn/rotary valves. It begins by defining valves and their purpose of regulating fluid flow. Valves are classified by their method of control, either linear motion or rotary motion. Rotary motion valves, also called quarter turn valves, rotate a disc or ellipse about a shaft to open or close in a 90 degree turn. Examples of rotary valves given are ball valves, which use a hollow ball to control flow, butterfly valves whose disc rotates quarter turns to open or close flow, and plug valves with hollow passageways through a cylindrical plug.

VALVES

VALVE
Avalveis a device that regulates, directs or
controls the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids,
fluidized solids, orslurries) by opening,
closing, or partially obstructing various
passageways.
Classification:

1.Methods of Control
2.Valve Function

CLASSIFICATION

I. Methods of Control
1. Linear Motion Valves
2. Rotary Motion Valves

- use a closure member that


moves in a straight line to start,
stop, or throttle the flow.
- closure device could be a
disc, slat or flexible material,
like a diaphragm
-tend to be slower in operation,
but they have a higher level of
accuracy and stability in the
position of the closure member.
-ex. gate valves, globe valves,
fixed cone valves, needle
valves, and pinch valves.

CLASSIFICATION

I. Methods of Control
1. Linear Motion Valves
2. Rotary Motion Valves- rotate a disc or ellipse about an
angular or circular shaft extending
across the diameter of an orifice.
-also known as

quarter turn valves

- Quarter turn valves will be in their


fully open or fully closed state (0)
after a 90 turn of the stem
-ball valves, butterfly valves, plug
valves, and spherical valves.

CLASSIFICATION

II. Valve Function


1. Start/Stop
2. Throttle
3. Non-return

- valves are used for systems


that do not need the flow
throttled
- valve opens to allow flow and
closes to stop flow
-are used when flow needs to be
diverted or for mixing
applications when exact
measurements are not required

CLASSIFICATION

II. Valve Function


1. Start/Stop
2. Throttle
3. Non-return

- or control valves control the speed


and capacity of flow, temperature, or
pressure, through a system.
- be moved into any position,
including fully opened and fully
closed, be operated with a
manual hand wheel or can be
equipped with an automated
actuator.
- pressure regulators are
responsible for varying the valves
position to maintain constant
pressure downstream

CLASSIFICATION

II. Valve Function


1. Start/Stop
2. Throttle
3. Non-return

- or check valves control the


direction of flow.
- Flow in the desired direction opens
the valve, while flow in the opposite
direction forces the valve closed.
- important for preventing backflow
to systems

Some Examples of Rotary Valves


o Ball Valve
o Butterfly Valve
o Plug Valve

Some Examples of Rotary Valves


o Ball Valve
- uses a hollow, perforated and pivoting ball (called a
"floating ball") to control flow through it.
- It is open when the ball's hole is in line with the flow and
closed when it is pivoted 90-degrees by the valve handle.

Some Examples of Rotary Valves


o Butterfly Valve
- can be used for isolating or regulatingflow
- valve is fully open or closed when the disc is rotated a
quarter turn.
- when valve is closed, the disc is turned so that it
completely blocks off the passageway.
- when valve is fully open, the disc is rotated a quarter
turn so that it allows an almost unrestricted passage of
the fluid.

Some Examples of Rotary Valves


o Plug Valve
- arevalveswith cylindrical or conically tapered "plugs"
which can be rotated inside the valve body to control flow
through the valve.
- plugs have one or more hollow passageways going
sideways through the plug, so that fluid can flow through the
plug when the valve is open.
- plug valves are simple and often economical.

THE END.
