1. FUNCTION OF VALVES
Valves are used for main three purposes listed below.
1) For Isolation of flow.
2) For Regulation of flow.
3) For avoiding the reversal of the flow.
4) For protect euipments and piping from over pressure !safet" valves)
Various t"pes of valves
First five valves are used for isolating the flow# $th % &th valves are used for regulating
the flow and 'th valve is used for avoiding the reversal of the flow.

2 VALVES
2.1 Gate valve
It is the most commonl" % ver" widel" used valve in industrial piping for isolation of the
flow. It is manuall" operated and it is not recommended for regulation of the flow.
Installation of this valve is possible from both the ends. /ence it is bi7directional valve.
2.2 Globe valve
5he fluid while passing through this valve changes its flow direction and hence this valve
causes increased resistance to flow which result into considerable pressure drop. 2o this
valve is not suitable where pressure drop is critical. 5his valve is mainl" used for
regulation of the flow.
Inlet and outlet of this valve are fi8ed. /ence installation of this valve is unidirectional.
Flow direction is mar-ed on the valve bod".

2.3 Che! valve
It is sometimes referred to as +on Return Valve. It is self7operated valve and allows the
flow to pass in one direction and will not allow reverse flow. Installation of this valve is
unidirectional. Flow direction is mar-ed on the bod".
2." Ball valve
5his valve is used for isolation % for uic- on 9 off. It is mainl" used in utilit" line i.e.
cooling water# instrument air etc. and in ha:ardous and combustible fluid. Rotating the
lever b" 13

opens or closes this valves full". Fire safe design as per ;*I &3' is available
for this valve. Installation of this valve is possible from both the ends. /ence it is bi7
directional valve.

2.# B$tte%&l' valve
It is mostl" used for isolation and in specific case used for regulation. Regulation is not as
precise as (lobe Valve

2.( )l$* valve
5his valve is used for regulation# isolation and uic- on 9 off in combustible or /a:ardous
fluid. 37wa" and 47wa" construction is possible in plug valve b" providing <5= or <>= port in
the plug.
2.+ Co,t%ol valve
5hese valves are self operated t"pe. 5he" have actuators. ;ctuators operate on the
signal received from an instrument. 5he" are used for ver" fine throttling and to have
desired process parameters !pressure# temperature# flow) of fluid.
,ontrol Valves can be of the following t"pes based on parameters to be controlled4
*ressure control valve7Receives signal from *ressure Indicator 9 *ressure 5ransmitter.
5emperature control valve7Receives signal from 5emperature Indicator95emperature
5ransmitter
Flow control valve7Receives signal from Flow Indicator9Flow 5ransmitter
5here are two t"pes of signal
*neumatic ? Valve has pneumatic actuator.!tubing is used)
@lectric ? Valve has electrical !solenoid) actuator. !cables are used)
)ased on construction# control valve has following t"pes

2.- Sa&et' valve
5his valve is also -nown as *ressure relief valve. It is used for safe operation of plant.
5his valve releases e8cess pressure when it e8ceeds set pressure. *ressure is set b"
spring.
Inlet of this valve is one si:e lower or eual to the inlet pipe si:e. Autlet is at least one or
more si:e higher to outlet pipe si:e.
