What are Instruments?
Instruments are devices especially designed and
manufactured to perform functions such as control,
measure and any required function in many
industries.
Instruments includes valves and transmitters.
 What are Valves?
Valves are devices that regulate or controls the flow of fluids such as gases and liquids by opening
and closing various passageways in pipelines.
 Categories of valves

Valves fall into three categories, Manual Valves, Actuated Valves and Automatic Valves.

1. Manual Valves: Typically adjusted by hand, these valves use handwheels, hand levels, gear
wheels, or chains to actuate.
2. Actuated Valves: Often connected to electric motors, air or pneumatic systems, hydraulic
systems, or solenoids.
3. Automatic Valves: Some valves activate when a specific flow condition is met.
 Butterfly Valve
butterfly valve is a quick-acting rotary motion valve ideal for tight spaces thanks to its wafer type
design. Butterfly valve bodies are offered in many different configurations.
 Gate Valve
As one of the most common valve types, gate valves use linear motion to start and stop the flow.
These are typically not used for flow regulation. Instead, they used in the fully open or closed
positions.
 Pressure Relief Valve
Used to help improve safety, these valves are spring-automated and will help to return a system to
the desired pressure during over-pressure events.
