  2. Gate valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_valve

    Gate valves are used to shut off the flow of liquids rather than for flow regulation, which is frequently done with a globe valve. When fully open, the typical gate valve has no obstruction in the flow path, resulting in very low flow resistance. [1] The size of the open flow path generally varies in a nonlinear manner as the gate is moved.

  3. Gate (hydraulic engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_(hydraulic_engineering)

    Within the gate valve, there is a gatelike disk that moves up and down perpendicular to the path of flow and seats against two seat faces to shut off flow. The velocity of the fluid against a partly opened disk may cause vibration and chattering which will ultimately lead to damage to the seating surfaces. This is a common way that gate valves ...

  4. List of valves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

    Valves can be categorized into the following types, based on their operating mechanism: Ball valve, for on–off control without pressure drop. Ideal for quick shut-off, since a 90° turn completely shuts off, compared to multiple 360° turns for other manual valves; Butterfly valve, for on–off flow control in large diameter pipes

  5. Isolation valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_valve

    Isolation valves must effectively stop the passage of fluids. [4] Gate valves, ball valves and plug valves are generally considered to provide tight and effective shut-off. Globe valves and Butterfly valves may not be tight shut-off due to wear on the plug or the seat, or due to their design, and may not be appropriate to provide effective ...

    The shut off butterfly valve for a Francis turbine at Gordon Power Station, Tasmania Ball valve. The "seat" is the interior surface of the body which contacts the disc to form a leak-tight seal. In discs that move linearly or swing on a hinge or trunnion, the disc comes into contact with the seat only when the valve is shut.

  7. Tap (valve) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_(valve)

    Water and gas taps have adjustable flow: gate valves are more progressive; ball valves more coarse, typically used in on-off applications. Turning a valve knob or lever adjusts flow by varying the aperture of the control device in the valve assembly. The result when opened in any degree is a choked flow.
