    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

    Choke valve, Butterfly valve used to limit air intake in internal combustion engine. (Not to be confused with choke valves used in industrial flow control, above.) Clapper valve: a type of check valve used in the Siamese fire appliance to allow only one hose to be connected instead of two (the clapper valve blocks the other side from leaking out)

  3. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    Pneumatically-actuated globe valves and diaphragm valves are widely used for control purposes in many industries, although quarter-turn types such as (modified) ball and butterfly valves are also used. Control valves can also work with hydraulic actuators (also known as hydraulic pilots). These types of valves are also known as automatic ...

  4. 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.

  6. Valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve

    These water valves are operated by rotary handles. 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 ...

  7. Air-operated valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-operated_valve

    Modulating control valves each with 4-20mA I to P converter linked to pneumatic a valve positioner controlling a diaphragm actuator. An air-operated valve, also known as a pneumatic valve, is a type of power-operated pipe valve that uses air pressure to perform a function similar to a solenoid.

  8. 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.

  9. Gate valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.
