Question:

How many kinds of valves are there in the water pipes?

I would like to ask commonly used water valve what kind of? What are the characteristics?

Answer:

Valve is used as cut-off media, the flow through the fully open, then the pressure medium to run minimal loss. Usually does not require frequent valve for opening and closing, and maintain the gate fully open or fully closed condition. Not suitable for use as a regulator or throttle. For high-speed flow of medium, the gate conditions can cause vibration of the gate in the partial opening, and the vibration may damage gate and valve seat sealing surface, and the throttle gate will suffer erosion media. From the structural form, the main difference is that the sealing elements form. According to the form of seals, often divided into several different types of valve, such as: wedge gate valves parallel gate valve, parallel gate valve, wedge gate valve. The most commonly used form of wedge gate valve and parallel valve
The valve is usually composed of two parts: the actuating mechanism and the valve bodyAccording to the power used by the executing agency, the valve can be divided into four kinds: manual, pneumatic, electric and hydraulic. According to its function and characteristics, it can be divided into on-off valve, regulating valve, electromagnetic valve, electronic type, intelligent type, etc.According to the type of the body: through single seat, through two seater, angular, diaphragm, three links, eccentric rotation, butterfly, sleeve type, spherical and other 10 kinds of; according to the valve body material: cast iron, cast steel, forged steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, plastic valves.
butterfly valveThe butterfly valve has the advantages of simple structure, small volume, light weight, only by a few parts. But only can rotate 90 degrees rapid hoist, simple operation, while the fluid control valves have good properties. The butterfly valve in the fully open position, the disc thickness is only when the medium flows through the power, by the valve the pressure will be very small, so it has better flow characteristics. Our company is mainly metal plastic butterfly valve, eccentric butterfly valve, butterfly valve, inlet butterfly valve, wafer butterfly valve and so on.Globe valveBall valve and plug valve is the same type of valve, only its closure is a sphere, the sphere rotates around the body center line to achieve the opening and closing the valve. A valve in the pipeline is mainly used for cutting, distribution and change the direction of media flow, the ball valve is a new valve in recent years has been widely using.
