  2. Tainter gate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tainter_gate

    Tainter gate being constructed, in 1936, on the upper Mississippi River, Lock and Dam No. 7 (Onalaska Dam), La Crescent, Minnesota (USACE) Stevenson Dam Tainter Gate on the Housatonic River in Connecticut. The Tainter gate is a type of radial arm floodgate used in dams and canal locks to control water flow.

  3. Gate valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_valve

    Gate valve. An electric multi-turn actuator on a gate valve. A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a barrier (gate) out of the path of the fluid. Gate valves require very little space along the pipe axis and hardly restrict the flow of fluid when the gate is fully opened. The gate faces can be parallel but ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

    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

  5. 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.

  6. Valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve

    A valve is a device or natural object that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. Valves are technically fittings, but are usually discussed as a separate category. In an open valve, fluid flows in a direction from ...

  7. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    Valve actuator. Electric actuator (blue cylinder) on a valve in a power plant. A black handwheel is visible on the actuator, which allows manual positioning of the valve. The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator.

  8. Sluice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sluice

    Flap sluice gate A fully automatic type, controlled by the pressure head across it; operation is similar to that of a check valve. It is a gate hinged at the top. When pressure is from one side, the gate is kept closed; a pressure from the other side opens the sluice when a threshold pressure is surpassed. Vertical rising sluice gate

  9. Control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

    A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, temperature, and liquid level. In automatic control terminology, a control valve is termed ...
