  2. Butterfly valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_valve

    Unlike a ball valve, the disc is always present within the flow, so it induces a pressure drop, even when open. A butterfly valve is from a family of valves called quarter-turn valves. In operation, the valve is fully open or closed when the disc is rotated a quarter turn. The "butterfly" is a metal disc mounted on a rod. When the valve is ...

    Rotary valves and piston valves: parts of brass instruments used to change their pitch; Rotolock valve; Rupture disc: a one-time-use replaceable valve for rapid pressure relief, used to protect piping systems from excessive pressure or vacuum; more reliable than a safety valve; Saddle valve: where allowed, is used to tap a pipe for a low-flow need

    The solenoid can be useful for positioning, stopping mid-stroke, or for low velocity actuation; especially in a closed loop control system. A uni-directional solenoid would actuate against an opposing force or a dual solenoid system would be self cycling. The proportional concept is more fully described in SAE publication 860759 (1986).

  6. Control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

    An automatic control valve consists of three main parts in which each part exist in several types and designs: Valve actuator – which moves the valve's modulating element, such as ball or butterfly. Valve positioner – which ensures the valve has reached the desired degree of opening. This overcomes the problems of friction and wear.

  9. Globe valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe_valve

    Globe valve. A globe valve, different from ball valve, is a type of valve used for regulating flow in a pipeline, consisting of a movable plug or disc element and a stationary ring seat in a generally spherical body. [1] Globe valves are named for their spherical body shape with the two halves of the body being separated by an internal baffle.
