Control valves or proportional valves

Control Valves The Control Element

Gas valves

Gas valves are used to handle and control the flow of gaseous media such as liquefied petroleum and natural gas. They are made of metal or plastic and vary in terms of valve size, pressure rating, number of ports, and flow. Connection types consist of bolt flanges, clamp flanges, union connections, tube fittings, butt welds,

Air valves

Air valves allow metered flow of fluid in one or both directions. Many of them allow for free flow in one direction and reduced or metered flow in the reverse direction. They are used in pneumatic circuits to regulate the rate of activation or exhaust of cylinders and other pneumatic devices.  Air valves can be

These valves are used throughout industry in many applications.  Control valves types include globe, diaphragm, pinch, knife or gate, needle, butterfly, ball, and plug.  Globe valves are linear motion valves with rounded bodies, from which

Control Valve Packing

Packing is a sealing system which normally consists of a deformable material such as TFE, graphite, asbestos, Kalrez, etc. Usually the material is in the form of solid or split rings contained in a packing box. Packing material is compressed to provide an effective pressure seal between the fluid in the valve body and the

Control Valve Repair Tips

1. If you are dealing with a corrosive fluid, choose the valve body and trim material to match the pump casing and impeller.
2. Velocity is the key to handling abrasive materials. Normal city water velocity is about 7 to 10 F.P.S. (clean liquid). If you have a fluid that is abrasive, keep the velocity as

Seat Leakage Classifications

Rule of Thumb:
There is no such thing as “Bubble Tight.”
Control valves are designed to throttle. However, this is not a perfect world, and control valves are also usually expected to provide some type of shut-off capability. A control valve’s ability to shut off has to do with many factors. The type of valves for instance.

Control Valve Flow Characteristics

Trim design will affect how the valve capacity changes as the valve moves through its complete travel. Because of the variation in trim design, many valves are not linear in nature. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VALVE CAPACITY AND VALVE TRAVEL IS KNOWN AS THE FLOW CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VALVE. Valve trims are specially designed, or characterized,

How Positioners Work

A valve Positioner is a device used to increase or decrease the air pressure operating the actuator until the valve stem reaches the position called for by the instrument controller.
Positioners are generally mounted on the side or top of the actuator. They are connected mechanically to the valve stem so that stem position can be

Control Valves Final Control Element

Control Valves Do What They Are Told!
Being the Final Control Element in a system is not an easy job. To start with, you are blamed for any and all problems that crop up in the process. You are subjected to corrosion, high velocity, cavitation, flashing liquids, cryogenic temperatures, high temperatures, abrasion, and thermal shock.

Metallic pressure containment vessels

INTRODUCTION.
1. Recent inspection programs for metallic pressure containment vessels and tanks have revealed cracking and damage in a considerable number of the vessels inspected. Safety and hazard evaluations of pressure vessels, as also presented in OSHA Instruction PUB 8-1.5, need to consider the consequences of a leakage or a rupture failure of a vessel.

HYDROSTATIC TESTING

This is the beginning of testing a cylinder for structural integrity. The red tank is a 90 cubic-foot, aluminum scuba cylinder .  It has a working pressure of 3300 psi, the test pressure is 5500 psi.
After insuring the tank is empty, we remove the tank valve.  The tank is then given a thorough visual inspection

Control Valve Function energy consumption

Disadvantages of this Technique High energy consumption applications are not applicable to this technique because the energy is limited at the source (or barrier). This technique is limited to low-energy applications such as DC circuits, electro-pneumatic converters, etc. Type n Technique: This technique allows for the incorporation of circuits in electrical instruments that are not capable of igniting specific flammable gases or vapor-in-air mixtures under normal operating conditions.

Control Valve Protection

Flameproof Technique: This technique is implemented by enclosing all electrical circuits in housing and conduits strong enough to contain any explosion or fires that may take place inside the apparatus.
Advantages of this Technique Users are familiar with this technique and understand its principles and applications. Sturdy housing designs provide protection to the internal components of the apparatus and allow their application in hazardous environments.

It has excellent compatibility for most air, water and light oil applications. It has a useful temperature range of 0F. ( - 18°C.) to 180°E (82°C.).

Control valves CONTROLVALVE

Let’s face it. Control valves never make anyone’s top 10 list of favorite topics. Yet while they may be considered boring, control valves can impact your bottom line in ways you may not have considered.
A brief example illustrates why. Figure 1 documents control loop performance testing within a power plant and reveals how control valves can affect a process. The loop

Control Valve Leakage

On the surface, this whole subject can appear to be pretty simple. However, ensuring that control valves will shut off properly when installed and throughout their service life requires an understanding
of the physical principles behind shutoff. First, how much leakage can be permitted for a given control valve application? ANSI specifies six different leakage classes. A Class I valve

Proactive Control Valve Maintenance

So far, we’ve discussed how you need to make sure you consider more than just static performance when selecting control valves. But even if you do your homework and have selected the best
valve from an overall financial performance standpoint, how can you be sure the valve will sustain that performance over the life of the plant? This is where

Solenoid valve

A solenoid valve is an electromechanical valve for use with liquid or gas controlled by running or stopping an electrical current through a solenoid, which is a coil of wire, thus changing the state of the valve. The operation of a solenoid valve is similar to that of a light switch, but typically controls the

Plumbing

Plumbing, from the Latin for lead (plumbum), is the skilled trade of working with pipes, tubing and plumbing fixtures for potable water systems and the drainage of waste. Plumbing originated during the ancient civilizations such as Roman, Persian, Indian, and Chinese civilizations as they developed public baths and needed to provide potable water, and drainage

Variable valve timing

Variable valve timing, or VVT, is a generic term for an automobile piston engine technology. VVT allows the lift or duration or timing (some or all) of the intake or exhaust valves (or both) to be changed while the engine is in operation. Two stroke engines use a Power valve system to get similar results

Zone valve construction and operation

Zone valves as used in home hydronic systems are usually electrically powered. In large commercial installations, vacuum or compressed air may be used instead. In either case, the motor is usually connected to the water valve via a mechanical coupling. For electrical zone valves, the motor is often a small shaded-pole synchronous motor combined with a

Valve positioners

Valve positioners compare a control signal to a valve actuator’s position and move the actuator accordingly. They are used with both linear valves and rotary valves. When a control signal differs from the valve actuator’s position, the valve positioner sends the necessary power to move the actuator until the correct position is reached. There are

Electrohydraulic valve actuators

Electrohydraulic valve actuators and hydraulic valve actuators convert fluid pressure into motion in response to a signal. They use an outside power source and receive signals that are measured in amperes, volts, or pressure. Some electrohydraulic valve actuators and hydraulic valve actuators move rotary motion valves such as ball, plug, and butterfly valves through a

Pneumatic valve actuators

Pneumatic valve actuators adjust valve position by converting air pressure into linear or rotary motion. Linear motion devices open and close gate, globe, diaphragm, pinch and angle-style valves with a sliding stem that controls the position of the closure element. Rotary motion devices move ball, plug and butterfly valves a quarter-turn (90°) or more from

Electric actuators

Electric actuators mount on valves which, in response to a signal, automatically move to a desired position using an outside power source. Single-phase or three-phase AC or DC motors drive a combination of gears to generate the desired torque level. There are two basic types of electric actuators: rotary and linear. Each type of actuator

Industrial valves

Industrial valves are classified in many different ways. They can be distinguished by material of construction, media handled, and/or application. Most industrial valves are made of metal or plastic materials. Metal valves are made of aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, cast iron, ductile iron, steel, or stainless steel. Plastic valves are made of acetal polymers, polyvinyl

Steam valves

Steam valves are used to control the flow and pressure level of steam and heated water vapor. They are usually made of aluminum, brass, bronze, cast iron, ductile iron, copper, steel, or stainless steel. There are several basic types of products. Angle valves position the inlet and outlet at 90° to provide maximum flow. Ball

Globe valves

Globe valves are linear motion valves with rounded bodies, from which their name is derived.  They are widely used in industry to regulate fluid flow in both on/off and throttling service.  Globe valves consist of the following moving parts – the disk, the valve stem, and the handwheel. The stem connects the handwheel and the

Positive displacement valves

Positive displacement valves are precision dispensing devices designed to provide precise fluid dispensation depending on applications. They function by opening quickly, releasing product, and closing again.  This process may take place numerous times per second.  Positive displacement valves use physical moving force to drive material out of the valve. They are typically used to dispense

Diaphragm valves

Single component diaphragm valves are designed to provide a precise fluid supply depending on the application. The dispensed output can be a bead, dot or fill. Material pressure upon the valve forces the diaphragm to allow material through the fluid body and out the dispensing tip. Applying air pressure to the top of the diaphragm

Hydraulic valves

Hydraulic valves contain and transfer the flow and pressure of hydraulic fluid in hydraulic power systems. They range from simple shutoff valves to precision control valves. Common types of hydraulic valves include angle, ball, block and bleed, check, control, cartridge, directional, drain, needle, poppet, pressure relief, safety, shut off, solenoid, spool, and stack mounted valves.

Control Valve Introduction

Double check valve

A double check valve or double check assembly (DCA) is a backflow prevention device designed to protect water supplies from contamination. It consists of two check valves assembled in series usually with a ball valve or gate valve installed at each end for isolation and testing. Often, test cocks (very small ball valves) are in

Flow control valve


A flow control valve regulates 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 are widely used for control purposes in many industries, although quarter-turn types such as

Gate Valve or Sluice Valve

A Gate Valve, or Sluice Valve, as it is sometimes known, is a valve that opens by lifting a round or rectangular gate/wedge out of the path of the fluid. The distinct feature of a gate valve is the sealing surfaces between the gate and seats are planar. The gate faces can form a wedge

Choke valve

A choke valve is valve that lifts a solid cylinder (called a “plug” or “stem”) up and down which is placed around or inside another cylinder which has holes or slots. The design of a choke valve means fluids flowing through the cage are coming from all sides and that the streams of flow (through

Globe valve Description

Globe valves are named for their spherical body shape. The two halves of the valve body are separated by an internal baffle which has an opening forming a seat onto which a movable disc can be screwed in to close (or shut) the valve. In globe valves, the disc is connected to a stem which

eedle valve

A needle valve is a type of valve having a small orifice and a threaded, needle-like plunger. It allows precise regulation of flow, although it is generally used for, and is capable of, only relatively small flow rates. A needle valve has a relatively small orifice with a long, tapered, conical seat. A needle-shaped plunger, on …

pilot valve

A Pilot valve is a dead man’s switch which requires a human operator to hold it in the mid-position and take some action if the operator takes off pressure or applies full pressure. Often (especially in heavy rail applications) this type of fail-safe braking is provided with one foot and one hand control to reduce

Poppet valve

A poppet valve is a valve consisting of a hole, usually round or oval, and a tapered plug, usually a disk shape on the end of a shaft also called a valve stem. The shaft guides the plug portion by sliding through a valve guide. In most applications a pressure differential helps to seal the

Sleeve valve

The sleeve valve is a type of valve mechanism for internal combustion piston engines which have traditionally relied on the more common poppet valve.
A sleeve valve consists of one or more machined sleeves that fit within a piston engine’s cylinders and are designed so as to move so that their openings align with the cylinder’s

Reed valve

Reed valves consist of thin flexible metal or fiberglass strips fixed on one end that open and close upon changing pressures across opposite sides of the valve much like heart valves do. They are intended to restrict flow to a single direction. Reed valves are commonly used in two-stroke engines to control the fuel-air mixture that

Rotary valve

A rotary valve is a type of valve in which the rotation of a passage or passages in a transverse plug regulates the flow of liquid or gas through the attached pipes. The common stopcock is the simplest form of rotary valve. Rotary valves have been applied in numerous applications, including:

Piston valve

A piston valve is a device used to control the motion of a fluid along a tube or pipe by means of the linear motion of a piston within a chamber or cylinder.
Examples of piston valves are: The valves used in the valve gear of many stationary steam engines and most steam locomotives.

Saddle valve

A saddle valve is a valve used to supply liquid where a low volume, low pressure stream is required. The name is derived from the fact that it is mounted in such a way that it “saddles” the line, mounting it from both sides. They are typically used for suppling cold water, via a 3/8 in.

Safety valve

A safety valve is a valve mechanism for the automatic release of a gas from a boiler, pressure vessel, or other system when the pressure or temperature exceeds preset limits. They are often called by more specific names such as pressure relief valves, T&P valves, or temperature and pressure relief valves.afety valves were first used

Relief valve


The relief valve is a type of valve used to control or limit the pressure in a system which can build up by a process upset, intrument or equipment failure or fire, by allowing the pressurised fluid to flow from an auxiliary passage out of the pressure vessel. The relief valve is designed or set

Globe valves

Globe valves are closing-down valves in which the closure member is moved squarely on and off the seat. It is customary to refer to the closure member as a disc, irrespective of its shape.
By this mode of disc travel, the seat opening varies in direct proportion to the travel of the disc. This proportional relationship between valve opening and

Valve Selection Handbook

Valves for Stopping and Starting Flow
These valves are normally selected for low flow resistance and a straight-through flow passage. Such valves are slide valves, rotary valves, and flex-body valves. Closing-down valves offer by their tortuous
flow passage a higher flow resistance than other valves and are therefore less frequently used for this purpose. However, if the higher flow resistance can

Squeeze-Type Packings

Squeeze-Type Packings
The name squeeze-type packing applies to O-ring packings and the like. Such packings are installed with lateral squeeze, and rely on the elastic strain of the packing material for the maintenance of the lateral
preload. When the fluid pressure enters the packing housing from the bottom, the packing moves towards the gap between the valve stem and the back-up

Corrosion of stainless steel valve

Corrosion of stainless steel valve stems by packings. Stainless steel valve stems—in particular those made of AISI type 410 (13Cr) steel— corrode frequently where the face contacts the packing. The corrosion occurs usually during storage preceding service, when the packing is saturated with water from the hydrostatic test. If the valve is placed into service immediately after the hydrostatic
test, no

Valve Compression packings

Compression Packings
Construction. Compression packings are the sealing elements in stuffing boxes (see Figures 3-17 through 3-19). They consist of a soft material that is stuffed into the stuffing box and compressed by a gland to form a seal around the valve stem. The packings may have to withstand extremes of temperature, be resistant to aggressive media, display a low friction

Sealing with Sealants

Sealing with Sealants
The leakage passages between metal seatings can be closed by sealants injected into the space between the seatings after the valve has been
closed. One metal-seated valve that relies completely on this sealing method is the lubricated plug valve. The injection of a sealant to the seatings
is used also in some other types of valves to

VALVE SEATINGS

VALVE SEATINGS
Valve seatings are the portions of the seat and closure member that contact each other for closure. Because the seatings are subject to wear during the making of the seal, the scalability of the seatings tends to
diminish with operation. Metal Seatings
Metal seatings are prone to deformation by trapped fluids and wear particles. They are further damaged by corrosion,

Control VALVE Sealability Against Liquids

Sealability Against Gases
The sealability against gases is determined by the viscosity of the gas and the size of the gas molecules. If the leakage capillary is large, the leakage flow will be turbulent. As the diameter of the capillary decreases and the Reynolds number decreases below its critical value, the leakage flow becomes laminar, and the leakage flow will,
