  2. Polyvinyl chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_chloride

    Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, (CPVC), as it is called, is produced by chlorination of aqueous solution of suspension PVC particles followed by exposure to UV light which initiates the free-radical chlorination. [9]

  3. Air-operated valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-operated_valve

    Modulating control valves each with 4-20mA I to P converter linked to pneumatic a valve positioner controlling a diaphragm actuator An air-operated valve , also known as a pneumatic valve, is a type of power-operated pipe valve that uses air pressure to perform a function similar to a solenoid .

  4. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    The most common final control element in the process control industries is the control valve. The control valve manipulates a flowing fluid, such as gas, steam, water, or chemical compounds, to compensate for the load disturbance and keep the regulated process variable as close as possible to the desired set point. [1]

  5. Flow control (fluid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_(fluid)

    The air bursts modify the air pressure and flow, and change the boundaries between streams of air moving at different speeds. The company built a 25% scale prototype with 11 conventional control surfaces, as well as 14 banks fed by eight air channels. [3] In 2023, the aircraft received its official designation as X-65. [4] In January 2024 ...

  6. Automatic bleeding valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_bleeding_valve

    An automatic bleeding valve or air release valve (ARV) is a plumbing valve used to automatically release trapped air from a heating system. Air, or other gas, may collect within plumbing. For water delivery systems to taps and basins, particularly with good main supply pressure, this air is usually flushed through with the water flow and does ...

  7. Ball valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_valve

    A ball valve is a flow control device which uses a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control fluid flowing through it. It is open when the hole through the middle of the ball is in line with the flow inlet, and closed when it is pivoted 90 degrees by the valve handle, blocking the flow. [1]

  8. Diaphragm valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_valve

    In general, straight-through diaphragm valves are used in on-off applications and weir-type diaphragm valves are used for control or throttling applications. While diaphragm valves usually come in two-port forms (2/2-way diaphragm valve), they can also come with three ports (3/2-way diaphragm valves also called T-valves) and more (so called ...

  9. Thermoplastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic

    Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is produced through exposing PVC to the continued free-radical chlorination reaction that originally formulates the PVC polymer. The chlorination reaction continues to add chlorine atoms to the polymer hydrocarbon backbone until most commercial applications reach a percent range between 56 and 74% total ...
