Butterfly valves are straightforward on/off routing valves with a substantial opening area and low flow resistance. They are an optimal solution in modern processing technology and ideal for use with low and medium-viscosity liquids. Butterfly Valves are valves that isolate or regulate the flow of a fluid. The closing mechanism is a disk that rotates. A butterfly valve is from a family of valves called quarter-turn valves.

Gate Valves (also known as Sluice Valves) are valves which open by lifting a rectangular or round wedge/gate out of the path of the fluid. The distinguishing feature of gate valves is that the sealing surfaces between the gate and seats are planar. Because of this gate valves are often used when a straight-line flow of fluid and minimum restriction is desired. Gate valves are designed for fully open or fully closed service. They are installed in pipelines as isolating valves, and should not be used as control or regulating valves. Operation of a gate valve is performed doing an either clockwise to close (CTC) or clockwise to open (CTO) rotating motion of the stem. When operating the valve stem, the gate moves up- or downwards on the threaded part of the stem.

As their name suggests, globe valves are linear motion valves with rounded globular shaped bodies. Globe valves, different from ball valve, are types of valves used for regulating flow in a pipeline, consisting of a movable disk-type element and a stationary ring seat in a generally spherical body. Globe valves are named for their spherical body shape with the two halves of the body being separated by an internal baffle. Globe valves are manufactured in a variety of materials and styles some of which include corrosion resistant, pressure seal and cryogenic globe valves. Globe valves can be used in systems that require frequent stroking, vacuum, and systems that have a wide range of temperature extremes. Find manufacturers of Globe Valves in our Equipment Guide

Plug valves are valves with cylindrical or conically tapered “plugs” which can be rotated inside the valve body to control flow through the valve. Plug valves (or cock or stop-cock valves or quater-turn valves) date back to ancient times, where they were developed for use in citywide Roman plumbing systems. Today, they remain one of the most widely used valves for both on/off and throttling services. The plugs in plug valves have one or more hollow passageways going sideways through the plug, so that fluid can flow through the plug when the valve is open. Plug valves are simple and often economical. Plug valve design is fairly simple; the body is comprised of three main parts: body, cover, and plug.

Needle Valves are a type of valve having a small port and a threaded, needle-shaped plunger. It allows precise regulation of flow, although it is generally only capable of relatively low flow rates. Needle valves are similar to globe valves. They’re used to start, stop, and regulate the flow rate within a pipeline. However, needle valves are designed differently. Unlike globe valves, which have a disc, needle valves have a long, tapered, needle-like point at the end of the valve stem. This is often referred to as the plunger. Find manufacturers of needle valves in our Equipment Guide.

Control valves regulate the flow or pressure of a fluid. Control valves normally respond to signals generated by independent devices such as flow meters or temperature gauges. Control valves are normally fitted with actuators and positioners. Pneumatically-actuated globe valves and Diaphragm Valves are widely used for control purposes in many industries, although quarter-turn types such as (modified) ball, gate and butterfly valves are also used. Control valves can also work with hydraulic actuators (also known as hydraulic pilots). These types of valves are also known as Automatic Control Valves.

Diaphragm valves (also known as membrane valves) consist of a valve body with two or more ports, a diaphragm, and a “weir or saddle” or seat upon which the diaphragm closes the valve. The valve is constructed from either plastic or metal. Diaphragm valves are used on shut-off and throttling service for liquids, slurries and vacuum/gas.
Recommended manufacturers for Diaphragm Valves
Solenoid valves open and close electrically: a current through a coil moves a plunger that lifts the seal off its seat, so the valve can be switched by a controller without any operator or air supply. Direct-acting and pilot-operated versions, in two-way, three-way and four-way configurations, are used for dosing, batching, cooling and pneumatic control in almost every process industry. Find global manufacturers of solenoid valves in our Equipment Guide.

Ball valves control flow with a rotating sphere carrying a bore through its centre, which gives a tight shut-off and a full port with almost no pressure drop when open. A quarter turn takes them from fully open to fully closed, so they are quick to operate and easy to automate. Floating and trunnion-mounted designs serve everything from utilities to high-pressure oil and gas service. Find global manufacturers of ball valves in our Equipment Guide.

Actuators supply the force that opens, closes or modulates a valve on command from the control system. Pneumatic actuators dominate process plants because they are fast, powerful and fail-safe on air loss; electric actuators suit precise positioning and sites without an air supply; hydraulic actuators handle the highest torques. Sizing depends on valve torque, safety position and available supply pressure. Find global manufacturers of valve actuators in our Equipment Guide.

Pressure control valves hold pressure at a set value regardless of what happens upstream or downstream. Pressure reducing valves protect equipment by capping the pressure delivered to it, while back pressure and pressure sustaining valves maintain a minimum pressure in the line ahead of them. Direct-acting versions work without an external supply; pilot-operated versions give tighter control at higher capacities. Find global manufacturers of pressure control valves in our Equipment Guide.

Valve positioners compare the control signal with the actual stem position and adjust the air to the actuator until the two match, which removes the effect of friction, packing wear and varying process pressure. Smart digital positioners add diagnostics on travel, cycles and dead band over HART, Profibus or Foundation Fieldbus, turning a control valve into a source of predictive maintenance data.

Safety valves protect vessels, pipework and people by opening automatically when pressure rises above a set point, then reseating once the system returns to normal. Spring-loaded and pilot-operated designs are sized to the relieving capacity required and are certified to codes such as ASME VIII, API 526 and PED. Because they are the last line of defence, testing and set-pressure verification are part of routine plant maintenance. Find global manufacturers of safety valves in our Equipment Guide.
