Manual valves
Manual valves are essential components in various industrial applications, allowing for the control of fluid flow through manual operation. Here are some common types of manual valves:
- Ball Valves: These valves offer excellent shut-off capabilities with a simple quarter-turn (90°) to open or close the valve. They are available in reduced bore and full bore types.
- Butterfly Valves: These valves use a disc-type element held in place by a rod. They are lightweight, compact, and have a short operation time.
- Globe Valves: These valves use a linear motion to regulate flow. They are suitable for throttling applications.
- Gate Valves: These valves use a sliding gate to control flow. They are ideal for on-off applications.
-
Diaphragm Valves: These valves use a flexible diaphragm to control flow. They are suitable for applications requiring a tight seal.
