Valves are
important for any mechanical device as their job is to regulate, control and
direct the flow of a liquid, gases, and powders by opening, closing, or
partially obstructing numerous passageways. In most
cases, valves depend on some form of mechanical barrier such as a
plate, a diaphragm; for instance, it can be inserted and eliminated from the
flow stream of the material passing through. Valves in China are available
in different types depending on their different application and specifications.
Here are the few types of valves that are commonly used all
over the world for different types of applications.
Balancing Valves
Balancing valves are meant to regulate fluid flow by
distributing the flow evenly in numerous flow branches. Main specifications
include the number of ports, port connections, valve size, and materials of
construction. The most common uses of balancing valves are commercial
heating/cooling systems to regulate water temperatures under fluctuating
loading conditions.
Blind Valves
The oil and gas industries mainly use blind valves to
separate sections of a pipeline. The basic specifications of blind valves may
include valve type, actuator type, port connections, valve size, and the body's
material, such as the seat, seal, and lining. These valves are common on ships
and offshore platforms.
Casing Valves
These are the type of valves used by the oil and gas industry
to allow access to good casings. The main specifications of casing valves may
include actuator type, size, connections, application, and material.
Engine Valves
These kinds of valves are mainly found in various types of
engines. These valves' key function is to seal between combustion chambers and
either the intake or exhaust systems. The engine valve's basic specifications
may include head and stem diameter, material, and the intended application.
