  2. Needle valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needle_valve

    An instrument needle valve uses a tapered pin to gradually open a space for fine control of flow. The flow can be controlled and regulated with the use of a spindle. A needle valve has a relatively small orifice with a long, tapered seat, and a needle-shaped plunger on the end of a screw, which exactly fits the seat.

    Hydrodynamic vortex valve: a passive flow control valve that uses hydrodynamic forces to regulate flow; Larner–Johnson Valve: needle control valve often in large sizes used in water supply systems; Leaf valve: one-way valve consisting of a diagonal obstruction with an opening covered by a hinged flap

  4. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    Control valves can also work with hydraulic actuators (also known as hydraulic pilots). These types of valves are also known as automatic control valves. The hydraulic actuators respond to changes of pressure or flow and will open/close the valve. Automatic control valves do not require an external power source, meaning that the fluid pressure ...

  5. Float chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_chamber

    The valve is often described as a needle valve, although this is a misnomer. A true needle valve uses a tapered needle in a tapered seat, so as to provide fine control over flow rate. The float valve uses a pointed needle against a square-edged seat, to give a positive shut-off. As the float relies on gravity, the chamber must be mounted ...

  6. Thorpe tube flowmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorpe_Tube_Flowmeter

    A Thorpe tube flowmeter, a type of variable-area flowmeter, or a rotameter, is an instrument used to directly measure the flow rate of a gas in medical instruments. It consists of a connection to a gas source, a needle valve opened and closed by turning an attached dial for control of flow rate, a float resting in a clear tapered tube, and an ...

  7. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

    Accurate flow control with a needle valve relies on a constant inlet pressure. Most regulators have two stages. The first stage is a fixed-pressure regulator, which releases gas from the cylinder at a constant intermediate pressure, despite the pressure in the cylinder falling as the gas in it is consumed.
