Types of valves commonly used in water supply systems

This article analyzes the water supply system five core valve types and applications: ball valves (reliable sealing, fast opening and closing, suitable for small and medium-sized pipeline cut-off); butterfly valves (lightweight and easy to operate, the main control of large flow regulation); gate valves (durable full diameter, used for the main pipeline opening and closing); check valves (to prevent the medium from backing up, to protect the safety of water pumps); regulating valves (accurate control of the flow control pressure, adapt to the precision of the water supply scenarios). Scientific selection can improve system efficiency and water supply safety.

What common types of drain valves include

This article takes a look at the common types of sewage valves and their application scenarios: gate valves (low flow resistance, suitable for large flows of solids-containing wastewater); butterfly valves (compact, lightweight and quick to operate, suitable for wastewater treatment); ball valves (excellent sealing, low flow resistance, suitable for viscous/crystallized media); check valves (to prevent backflow and safeguard pipeline safety); and regulating valves (to control the flow rate/pressure accurately for complex wastewater). Selection should be based on the combination of fluid characteristics (temperature/pressure/chemical composition/solid particles), piping size, and operation and maintenance, in order to enhance the efficiency of wastewater discharge and environmental safety.

Types of valves commonly used in building water supply system

This article introduces the six commonly used valves and their functions in the building water supply system: ball valves (easy to operate, open and close quickly for hot and cold water pipelines), butterfly valves (compact structure, suitable for large flow mains), globe valves (low fluid resistance, adjustable flow), check valves (to prevent backflow, to protect the pumps), regulating valves (to accurately control the flow rate) and pressure reducing valves (to reduce the pressure, to protect the safety of equipment). Engineers need to choose the right valve according to system requirements, operating characteristics and environmental factors to ensure efficient and stable operation of the system.

Commonly used types of manual valves

Manual valves are key control elements in the pipeline fluid transportation system, widely used in industrial fields, designed to ensure smooth fluid transportation and safe operation of the system. This article focuses on four common types: manual butterfly valve (simple structure, convenient operation, divided into handle type and worm gear type, applicable to different caliber pipeline), manual gate valve (commonly used in water distribution system, divided into open rod and concealed rod type, opening and closing status intuitive), manual ball valve (used to cut off the flow, shunt and adjust the direction of flow, opening and closing parts for the ball) and manual disconnecting valve (good abrasion resistance, maintenance is convenient, but opening and closing torque, nominal diameter). (≤200mm). Selection needs to be based on the pipeline characteristics and working environment to ensure that the system is efficient and stable.

Choosing between gate and ball valves: an analysis of advantages and disadvantages

Gate valves and ball valves have their own advantages, the selection depends on the specific needs. Gate valve flow resistance is small, simple maintenance, suitable for large diameter, low resistance pipeline; ball valve compact structure, good sealing, fast switching, more adaptable to space constraints, high sealing and the need for rapid opening and closing of the scene. According to the working conditions, media and installation conditions is the key to a comprehensive choice.

Selection and application of gate, ball, globe and butterfly valves to help companies improve production efficiency

This article describes in detail the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, and application scenarios of four common industrial valves: gate valves, ball valves, globe valves, and butterfly valves, to help companies optimize the choice according to the nature of the fluid, frequency of operation, flow regulation accuracy and other factors, in order to improve production efficiency, ensure pipeline safety and stable operation. Each type of valve has its own focus: gate valves are suitable for interception control, ball valves for efficient opening and closing, globe valves for precise regulation, butterfly valves for economic energy saving. When selecting the type of valve, we need to consider the durability, economy and working environment requirements.
