2. Check valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_valve

   Vertical lift check valve. A check valve, non-return valve, reflux valve, retention valve, foot valve, or one-way valve is a valve that normally allows fluid (liquid or gas) to flow through it in only one direction. [1] Check valves are two-port valves, meaning they have two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the other for fluid ...

3. Pneumatic non-return valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_non-return_valve

   Pneumatic non-return valves are used where a normal non-return valve would be ineffective. This is for example where there is a risk of flood water entering a site but an equal risk of pollution or a chemical spills leaving a site and polluting the environment.

4. List of valves - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

   Valves can be categorized also based on their function: Check valve or non-return valve, allows the fluid to pass in one direction only; Flow control valve, to maintain and control a variable flow rate through the valve; Poppet valve, commonly used in piston engines to regulate the fuel mixture intake and exhaust; Pressure-balanced valve

5. Isolation valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_valve

   An isolation valve is a valve in a fluid handling system that stops the flow of process media to a given location, usually for maintenance or safety purposes. [1] They can also be used to provide flow logic (selecting one flow path versus another), and to connect external equipment to a system. [ 2 ]

6. Solenoid valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_valve

   A 3-way valve has 3 ports; it connects one port to either of the two other ports (typically a supply port and an exhaust port). The solenoid valve (small black box at the top of the photo) with input air line (small green tube) used to actuate a larger rack and pinion actuator (gray box) which controls the water pipe valve

7. Tesla valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_valve

   A Tesla valve, called a valvular conduit by its inventor, is a fixed-geometry passive check valve. It allows a fluid to flow preferentially in one direction, without moving parts. The device is named after Nikola Tesla , who was awarded U.S. patent 1,329,559 in 1920 for its invention.
