   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_valve

   A ball valve is a flow control device which uses a hollow, perforated, and pivoting ball to control fluid flowing through it. It is open when the hole through the middle of the ball is in line with the flow inlet and closed when it is pivoted 90 degrees by the valve handle, blocking the flow. [1]

   Valves are available in several types, based on design and purpose: Gate, plug, or ball valves – Isolation; Globe valve – Throttling; Needle valve – Throttling, usually with high precision but low flow; Butterfly or diaphragm valves – Isolation and throttling; Check valve – Preventing reverse flow (non-return)

   Schematic 3 way ball valve: L-shaped ball right, T-shaped left. Valves with three ports serve many different functions. A few of the possibilities are listed here. Three-way ball valves come with T- or L-shaped fluid passageways inside the rotor. The T valve might be used to permit connection of one inlet to either or both outlets or connection ...

6. Check valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 to leave.

7. 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.
