  2. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    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 is enough to open and close them.

    Pilot valve: regulates flow or pressure to other valves; Petcock, a small shut-off valve; Pinch valve, "beach ball valve": simple, single-part two-port check valve made from soft plastic and molded onto inflatable units such as beach balls, air mattresses, water wings; can be inflated by pump or by mouth; Plunger valve: To regulate flow while ...

  4. Ball valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_valve

    A full bore (sometimes full port) ball valve has an oversized ball so that the hole in the ball is the same size as the pipeline resulting in lower friction loss. Flow is unrestricted but the valve is larger and more expensive so this is only used where free flow is required, for example in pipelines that require pigging.

  5. 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.

    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.

  7. 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.
