Types Of Valves:

Because of the several system fluids, environments, and system conditions in that flow must be controlled, a huge number of valve designs have been established. A primary understanding of the differences among the several categories of valves, and how these differences affect valve function, that will help ensure the proper application of each valve categories during design and the proper use of every valve categories during operation.

Given a drawing of a valve and IDENTIFY every of the following categories of valves:

a. Globe                                        b. Gate

c. Plug                                          d. Ball

e. Needle                                     f. Butterfly

g. Diaphragm                              h. Pinch

i. Check                                        j. Safety/relief

k. Reducing

EO 1.5 DESCRIBE the application of the subsequent types of valves:

a. Globe                                            b. Gate
