    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

    The sheet has a solid end and a flow-through end; sliding it from one position to the other opens or stops the flow. Also called sliding blind valve; Outflow valve: regulates flow and pressure, part of cabin pressurization; Pilot valve: regulates flow or pressure to other valves; Petcock, a small shut-off valve

  3. Rotary valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_valve

    A rotary valve (also called rotary-motion valve) is a type of valve in which the rotation of a passage or passages in a transverse plug regulates the flow of liquid or gas through the attached pipes. [1] The common stopcock is the simplest form of rotary valve. Rotary valves have been applied in numerous applications, including:

  4. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    Flow control valves, a type of automatic control valve, regulate fluid flow by maintaining a predetermined flow rate, independent of variations in system pressure. These valves achieve this using **pressure-compensated mechanisms**, which automatically adjust the valve opening to ensure a steady flow rate.

    Piping and instrumentation diagram of pump with storage tank. Symbols according to EN ISO 10628 and EN 62424. A more complex example of a P&ID. A piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is defined as follows: A diagram which shows the interconnection of process equipment and the instrumentation used to control the process.

  7. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

    Uses of pneumatic pressure switches include: Switch a household well water pump automatically when water is drawn from the pressure tank. Switching off an electrically driven gas compressor when a set pressure is achieved in the reservoir; Switching off a gas compressor, whenever there is no feed in the suction stage. in-cell charge control in ...

  8. Flow distribution in manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_distribution_in_manifolds

    [4] [5] [6] A generalized model of the flow distribution in channel networks of planar fuel cells. [6] Similar to Ohm's law, the pressure drop is assumed to be proportional to the flow rates. The relationship of pressure drop, flow rate and flow resistance is described as Q 2 = ∆P/R. f = 64/Re for laminar flow where Re is the Reynolds number.
