Types of valves

Types of valves include gate valves, globe valves, check valves, ball valves, butterfly valves and so on.
Gate valves: Used for on-off control of fluid flow. They have a straight-through design with a gate that can be raised or lowered to block or allow the flow.
Globe valves: Suitable for regulating flow. They have a spherical body and a movable disk that controls the flow by changing the opening size.
Check valves: Allow fluid to flow in one direction only. They prevent backflow and are essential in many fluid systems.
Ball valves: Feature a spherical ball with a hole through it. Rotating the ball controls the flow. They are known for their quick on-off action and tight sealing.
Butterfly valves: Have a disk-shaped closure element that rotates to control flow. They are lightweight and take up less space compared to some other valve types.
