A short overview on valves
In piping technology, a valve is a piping component which influences the fluid flow by opening, closing, diverting, mixing or partially obstructing the passage through itself. Valves are broadly classified according to their fields of application, e.g. power plant valves, heating valves, gas and food-grade valves. Valves are further categorised according to their basic design (globe, gate, butterfly, ball or plug and diaphragm valves) and according to the functions they perform, i.e. shut-off valves, safety valves, control valves and check or non-return valves. Depending on the type of actuation, a differentiation is made between manually operated and electrically, pneumatically and hydraulically actuated valves.
Valve design features
- Globe valve: obturator moves in a straight line and, in the seating area, parallel to the flow direction
- Gate valve: obturator moves in a straight line and, in the seating area, at right angles to the flow direction
- Ball or plug valve: obturator rotates about an axis at right angles to the flow direction and, in the open position, the flow passes through it
- Butterfly valve: obturator rotates about an axis at right angles to the flow direction and, in the open position, the flow passes around it
- Diaphragm valve: the flow passage is changed as a result of the deformation of the flexible obturator (diaphragm)
- Strainer
ISORIA 10/16
Centred-disc butterfly valve with ISO 5211 compliant square shaft end, sealed by elastomer liner, with lever or manual gearbox, pneumatic, electric or hydraulic actuator. Wafer-type body (T1), semi-lug body (T2), full-lug body (T4) or U-section body with flat faces (T5). Body types T2 and T4 are suitable for downstream dismantling and dead-end service with counterflange. Connections to EN, ASME, JIS.
