SERVICE |
Gate Valve |
Wide variety of designs. Straight
through flow when open. Minimum pressure drop. If used
for throttling there is tendency to erode quickly with
consequent leakage. Wide use range including corrosive
duties. Extensive size and pressure/temperature range.
Quick opening types available. Tapered disc type can be
used for throttling. |
| Slide Valve |
As above. Fluid pressure provides
effective closing. Has a limited use for throttling. |
| Plug Valve |
Straight –through flow. Positive
shut-off, quarter turn ‘open to close’. Important
characteristic is easy adaptation to multi-port
operation. i.e., 2,3and 4 way, etc., thus simplifying
piping system, making control simpler and eliminating
single port valves and pipe fittings |
| Lubircated Plug
Valve |
For critical services requiring
packing under pressure. Lubricant prevents leakage,
reduces friction, wear, and turning effort. Lubricant
can cause contamination of highly pure products and its
use sets the maximum temperature of operation. |
| Non Lubircated
Plug Valve |
Inexpensive materials can be
elastomer or plastic coated. Excellent for corrosive
conditions relatively inexpensive as high cost metals
are avoided. Pressure / Temperature Conditions limited
by lining materials. |
| Ball Valve |
Widely use in industry where
conditions of corrosion plus pressure/temp. Exists.
Simple, compact, and quick opening. Very wide size and
temp. /pressure range. Good for conditions which require
being fire-safe. Conventional type has poor throttling
characteristics. Can be used for throttling if special
V-Notch ball fitted |

| THROTTLING
SERVICE |
Globe Valve |
Most commonly used valve for
efficient regulation of a critical service. Used
extensively for Automatic Process Control Not normally
used for ON-OFF service. Wide size, pressure/temperature
range. Available in an extensive material range. |
| Angle Valve |
Similar to conventional globe valve
but ends are at right angles to each other. Provides
less pressure drop and reduces number of pipe fittings
in a system. Care should be taken at design stage to
ensure that valve is not subjected to stresses often
present in the pipe bends. |
| "Y"
Valve |
As above but orifice at 45o to flow
path. Good throttling characteristics and lower pressure
drop than normal globe valve. |
| Needle Valve |
Restricted to smaller sizes and used
where close manual regulation of flow is required. |
| Butterfly Valve |
Extremely simple in construction.
Specially suited for large flow of gases, liquids, and
slurries at low pressures. Also suited for ‘ON-OFF’
conditions. Low pressure drop, low priced, clean, and
quick acting. Ordinarily not ‘bubble-tight’ but can
give tight shut-off according to design. |
| Diaphragm Valve |
Glandless type of valve for
corrosive, volatile, and toxic fluids, particularly
where leakage must be avoided. Although choice limited
by diaphragm materials a very wide range exists to
handle very corrosive fluids. Temp. /pressure imposes
limitations. Valve versatile and also used for ON-OFF
service. |
| Pinch Valve |
For either throttling or ON-OFF. Low
initial cost, simple in design, and excellent for
slurries, abrasive fluid, and resistance to corrosion
and avoidance of contamination. Temp./pressure limit use
because of elastomer sleeve materials. |

OF BACK FLOW |
Check Valve |
Automatically prevents reversal of
flow in lines. Kept open by flow in piping system.
Various types exist to meet different conditions. e.g.
pulsating flow, horizontal or vertical mounting. etc.

| Foot Valve |
Type of check valve fitted to
maintain prime in pumps. Etc Usually combine with a

| SAFETY
AND PROTECTION |
Safety Valve |
For protection against excessive
pressure. Used with gases. |
| Relief Valve |
For protection against excessive
liquid pressures. |
| Safety Relief
Valve |
Can be used for either gas or liquid.
All type required periodic inspection to ensure that
they can function. Types exist to meet all conditions,
including corrosion, met with in industry. |
| Bursting Disc |
For protection of plant systems where
extremely rapid pressures rise may be encountered and
where safety or relief valve might not be effective.
Gives instantaneous unrestricted relief. Disc is
available in many materials and required to be replaced
after each operation. |

AUTOMATIC
CONTROL VALVES |
Wide range of valves for automatic
regulation and control of process temperature, pressure,
flow rates, liquid levels etc. covers a vast field of
operation including that via a computer. Continuously
operated plants have led to growth. Reliability is
essential. Actuated from a signal received from the
flowing medium itself or from a programmed having
pre-set Conditions. Operation can be hydraulic,
pneumatic, electric, or combinations of the same. |

| Types
and Uses of Flanges |
| General
Function |
Flange
Type |
Uses |
| HIGH
PRESSURE
SERVICE |
Weld Neck
Flanges |
These are the most common type of
flange used for high pressure applications. They are
recognized by their long tapered hub. The hub provides
an important reinforcement to the flange itself and acts
to reduce rotation of the flange at bolt-up. The smooth
transition between the flange and the hub combined with
the strength of the butt weld joint, allows the flange
to be used in extreme conditions of cyclic loading,
bending and temperature fluctuations.
Weldneck Flange, characterized by its smooth hub
transition from flange to weld end. Most common type of
high pressure flange. |
|
LOW
PRESSURE
SERVICE |
Slip-On Flanges |
Slip-On Flanges are ideal for
lower pressure applications. Their ease of fitting and
welding reduces fabrication costs. Less time needs to be
spent ensuring the accuracy of the cut pipe and they are
somewhat easier to align. They do not have as much
strength as a weld neck flange and are not available in
higher pressure ratings and diameters.
Slip-On Flange, fits over the pipe
and is then welded in position. Only available in
smaller pressure ratings/diameters. |
| Socket Weld
Flanges |
The fabrication of these items is
similar to that of a Slip-On Flange. However, their
internal pocket allows for a smooth bore and better
fluid flow. They are ideal for small diameter high
pressure applications.
Socket Weld Flange, pipe fits in to
the recess to allow smooth flow through the flange. Used
for small diameter applications. |
| Blind
Flanges |
Blind Flanges |
Blind Flanges are used to blank off
the ends of pipe, valves and pressure vessel openings.
They may often be supplied with NPT
fittings to allow pressure test connections to be
fitted.
Blind Flange, normally a flat disk with raised or RTJ
face to match mating flange. |
| Lap Joint
Flanges |
Lap Joint
Flanges |
Lap Joint Flanges must be used with
their associated stub end. The stub is welded to the
pipe and the Lap Joint then works as a backing ring. The
main advantage of this type of flange is that the bolt
holes can be aligned with the matching flange after the
welds have been completed. A Lap Joint Flange is not
suitable for areas with high external or dynamic loads.
A Swivel Ring Flange should be used for this type of
application.
Lap Joint Flange, used with a matching stub end. Bolt
holes can be aligned with pipe after welding. Useful for
complex spools and rigid pipe work. |
