    All the cone valves move when the corresponding key is pressed. Therefore, in order for a pipe to sound in a cone valve chest, two events must occur: A stop must be activated so that the the stop channel is filled with wind. A key must be pressed, opening the cone valves under all the pipes for that note, so that wind is admitted to any pipe ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microvalve

    A microvalve is a microscale valve, i.e. a microfluidic two-port component that regulates the flow between two fluidic ports. Microvalves are basic components in microfluidic devices, such as labs-on-a-chip, where they are used to control the fluidic transport.

    Valves stop (or regulate) the flow of liquids or gases. They are categorized by application, such as isolation, throttling, and non-return. Isolation valves temporarily disconnect part of a piping system to allow maintenance or repair, for example. Isolation valves are typically left in either a fully open or closed position.

  5. Tap (valve) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_(valve)

    Valves of this type using a cylinder rather than a cone are sometimes encountered, but using a cone allows a tight fit to be made even with moderate manufacturing tolerances. The ball in ball valves rotates within plastic (usually PTFE) seats. Hands free infrared proximity sensors are replacing the standard valve. Thermostatically controlled ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floodgate

    Fixed cone valves are able to handle heads up to 300 m. Hollow jet valves are a type of needle valve used for floodgate discharge. A cone and seat are inside a pipe. Water flows through an annular gap between the pipe and cone when it is moved downstream, away from the seat. Ribs support the bulb assembly and supply air for water jet stabilization.

    His way of building organs was closely bound up with traditional construction methods using slider windchests. But as early as before the turn of the century he built high pressure stops with two mouths on pneumatic cone valve chests. In 1906, together with his son Hans, he introduced electric action. Hans Klais took over in 1925.

  9. List of valves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

    These are more specific types of valves, used only in particular fields or applications. Often they are subcategories of the classification by operating principle and by function: Aspin valve: a cone-shaped metal part fitted to the cylinder head of an engine; Ballcock: often used as a water level controller (cistern)
