A valve job is the colloquial term for resurfacing the mating surfaces of the poppet valves and their respective valve seats that control the intake and exhaust of the air/fuel mixture in four stroke internal combustion engine, replacing valve oil seals, replacing any deficient valve springs, and otherwise bringing the components of a cylinder head up to manufacturer’s spec. [1] A ...
Valve seats are often formed by first press-fitting an approximately cylindrical piece of a hardened metal alloy, such as Stellite, into a cast depression in a cylinder head above each eventual valve stem position, [1] and then machining a conical-section surface into the valve seat that will mate with a corresponding conical section of the ...
Valve guides are typically shaped in a tube with a flare at one end. Their replacement involves removing the worn part by driving it out with a hammer and specifically-shaped punch. Installation may involve shrink-fitting , heating the cylinder head and cooling the valve guide so as to ease insertion, then driving the new guide in quickly with ...
Multi-seat valve with pneumatic actuator. Multi-seat valves, or multi-port valves, are used to shut off or control complex liquid flows in sterile areas in the beverage and food industry as well as in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Multi-seat valves often replace combinations of several single-seated valves in aseptic processing.
The three-piece design allows for the center part of the valve containing the ball, stem and seats to be easily removed from the pipeline. This facilitates efficient cleaning of deposited sediments, replacement of seats and gland packings, polishing out of small scratches on the ball, all this without removing the pipes from the valve body.
Diaphragm valve or membrane valve, controls flow by movement of a diaphragm. Used in pharmaceutical applications; Gate valve, mainly for on–off control, with low pressure drop; Globe valve, good for regulating flow. Uses a cylinder movement over a seat; Knife valve, similar to a gate valve, but usually more compact. Often used for slurries or ...

The seat always remains stationary relative to the body. Seats are classified by whether they are cut directly into the body, or if they are made of a different material: Hard seats are integral to the valve body. Nearly all hard seated metal valves have a small amount of leakage. Soft seats are fitted to the valve body and made of softer ...
