Question:

pls. give the difference between Isolation Valves & Block valves?

pls. tell me the differnce between isolation and block valves and also where it to be used .

Answer:

An okorder /. There's numerous systems that use isolation valves. Let's say you want to make some ice cream, you open the isolation valve to let the milk flow into the mixer, then open the valve to let in the cream. Depending on the valve type, you could then open it to allow in the vanilla, sugar, egg, etc. All with the same valve. It just keeps the ingredients from coming in contact . A block valve is used to shut off a supply, so you can perform maintenance, or just stop the flow.
*Terminology okorder /
The two terms are used interchangeably. They are valves that are used to completely interrupt flow as opposed to a valve that is used to throttle or control flow without stopping it.
