2. Piston valve (steam engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_valve_(steam_engine)

   This entails controlling the admission and exhaust of steam to and from the cylinders with a valve linked to the motion of the piston. [3] For timing and dimensioning of slide or piston valves where the valve opens and closes the steam and exhaust ports, a consideration of the "lap" and "lead" is required.

3. 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.

4. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

   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. Another valve actuator is visible in the background, with windows to indicate the valve position. A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve. Manually ...

5. Control valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

   Control valve: Controls flow parameters proportional to an input signal received from the central control system. Examples: Globe valve, angle valve, ball valve; Shut-off / On-off valve: These valves are either completely open or closed. Examples: Gate valve, ball valve, globe valve, angle valve, pinch valve, diaphragm valve

6. List of valves - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

   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 powders on–off control; Needle valve for accurate flow control; Pinch valve, for slurry flow regulation and control; Piston valve, for regulating fluids that carry solids in ...

   Piston valve in a brass instrument. A piston valve is a device used to control the motion of a fluid or gas along a tube or pipe by means of the linear motion of a piston within a chamber or cylinder. [1] Examples of piston valves are: The valves used in many brass instruments; The valves used for pneumatic propulsion; The valves used in many ...
