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]

3. Governor (device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_(device)

   A governor, or speed limiter or controller, is a device used to measure and regulate the speed of a machine, such as an engine.. A classic example is the centrifugal governor, also known as the Watt or fly-ball governor on a reciprocating steam engine, which uses the effect of inertial force on rotating weights driven by the machine output shaft to regulate its speed by altering the input flow ...

4. Centrifugal governor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_governor

   The balls swing out as speed increases, which closes the valve, until a balance is achieved between demand and the proportional gain of the linkage and valve. A centrifugal governor is a specific type of governor with a feedback system that controls the speed of an engine by regulating the flow of fuel or working fluid , so as to maintain a ...

   The "CV4000" numbers identify special-quality valves though SQ valves CV numbered before that rule came in retain their original CV number: CV4007 = E91AA – SQ version of 6AL5; CV4010 = E95F – SQ version of 6AK5 or EF95; CV4014 = M8083; The "M8" in the part number denotes that it was developed by the military:

6. Four-way valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-way_valve

   The four-way valve or four-way cock is a fluid control valve whose body has four ports equally spaced round the valve chamber and the plug has two passages to connect adjacent ports. The plug may be cylindrical or tapered, or a ball.

7. 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.
