2. Ball valve - Wikipedia

   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] The handle lies flat in alignment with the flow ...

3. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

   Flow coefficient. The flow coefficient of a device is a relative measure of its efficiency at allowing fluid flow. It describes the relationship between the pressure drop across an orifice valve or other assembly and the corresponding flow rate. Mathematically the flow coefficient Cv (or flow-capacity rating of valve) can be expressed as.

4. Shutdown valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutdown_valve

   A blowdown valve (BDV) is a type of shutdown valve designed to depressurize a pressure vessel by directing vapour to a flare, vent or blowdown stack in an emergency. BDVs fail-safe to the open position upon failure of the control system. [1] The type of valve, type of actuation and performance measurement are similar to an ESD valve.

5. Valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve

   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 an open valve, fluid flows in a direction from ...

6. Check valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_valve

   A ball check valve is a check valve in which the closing member, the movable part to block the flow, is a ball. In some ball check valves, the ball is spring-loaded to help keep it shut. For those designs without a spring, reverse flow is required to move the ball toward the seat and create a seal.
