Valves

 VALVES
VALVES are the manual or automatic fluid-controlling elements in a piping system. They are constructed to
withstand a specific range of temperature, pressure, corrosion, and mechanical stress
Valves have some of the following primary functions:

• Starting, stopping, and directing flow

• Regulating, controlling, or throttling flow
• Preventing backflow
• Relieving or regulating pressure

Valves are used in piping for following purposes:

• Process control during operation.

• Controlling services & utilities.
• Isolating equipment or instruments for maintenance.
• Discharging gas, vapor, liquid.
• Draining piping & equipment on shut down.
• Emergency shutdown in the event of plant mishap or fire.

• Gate Valves are designed to operate fully open

or fully closed. Because they operate slowly they
prevent fluid hammer, which is detrimental to
piping systems.
01 Gate Valve • There is very little pressure loss through a gate
valve.
• In the fully closed position, gate valves provide a
positive seal under pressure.

• Globe valves, as is the case with all valve

designs, have both advantages and
disadvantages.
• Like a gate, they close slowly to prevent fluid
hammer. You can throttle the flow and they will
not leak under low pressure when they are shut
Globe off.

Valve
• Flow and pressure control valves as well as
hose bibs generally use the globe pattern.
• The disadvantage of this design is that the "Z"
pattern restricts flow more than the gate, ball, or
butterfly valves.

• Ball Valves are also designed to be operated

fully open or fully closed with any liquid
containing particles that could scratch the ball.
• Many people use them successfully for throttling
clear water.
• Ball valves have low pressure drops, open and
03 Ball Valve
close quickly, are simple, and are trouble free.
• With the development of Teflon seals, ball
valves have grown in popularity.
• Opening or closing a ball valve too quickly can
cause fluid hammer..

• Butterfly valves, like ball valves, operate with a

1/4 turn.
• They are generally used for handling large flows
Butterfly of gases or liquids, including slurries, but should
04 not be used for throttling for extended periods of
Valve time.
• Because of compact design Butterfly Valves are
more popular in Industry.
• Normally used above 3”Nps because ion small
valves pressure drop is more.

• Like the gate valve, a plug valve has an

unobstructed flow, yet requires only a 90 degree
turn to open it. It also requires very little
headroom.
05 Plug Valve • Stem corrosion is minimal because there are no
screw threads.
• However, plug valves are available in much
larger sizes than ball valves and are highly
suitable for use in wastewater plants.

It is basically a directional Control Valve which

allows the flow only in one direction.
Check Valve
It is available in Lift type and swing type and
06 / Non Return now a days wafer type check valve is also
becoming popular because of its low weight
Valve and compact design

• Needle valve is a type of globe valve only

with the wedge having needle shape.
07 Needle Valve • It is used for precise control of flow.
• Rest of all features are same as globe
valve.

• Diaphragm valves are used whenever

either the fluid is highly corrosive or high
Diaphragm
08 degree of purity is required in process e.g.
Valve pharmaceutical and food processing
industry.

Flush • Usually a globe type, designed to minimize

pocketing, primarily for conveniently liquid
09 Bottom from the low of a tank.

Valve

• An automatic pressure relieving device

actuated by the static pressure upstream of
10 Safety Valve th valve, and characterized by rapid full
opening or pop action. It is used for steam,
gas, or vapor service.

Breather • To Break vacuum at the time of draining/

11 pumpout condition.
Valve • To release air at the tim of filling tank.
