Valves, a simple sounding word, actually play an important role in industry and everyday life.

Valve Overview
Valves, a simple sounding word, actually play an important role in industry and everyday life. Whether it's in household plumbing, automobile engines, or the piping systems of large factories, the role of valves should not be underestimated. They are responsible for controlling the flow of fluids and ensuring the proper functioning of the system.
Types of Valves
There are many different types of valves, each with their own unique characteristics. The common ones are: ball valves, gate valves, globe valves, safety valves and so on.
Ball valves: with its rapid opening and closing characteristics, commonly used in applications that require rapid flow control.
Gate valve: for full open or full closed occasions, not suitable for regulating the flow.
Globe valve: can accurately control the flow, suitable for occasions requiring regulation.
Safety valve: used to prevent the system pressure is too high, is the key to protect the safety of equipment.
The working principle of the valve
The working principle of valves is actually quite simple. By rotating, pushing or pulling, or otherwise, the internal structure of the valve changes to control the flow of fluid. For example, a ball valve opens or closes circulation by rotating the direction of the ball. Alas, while simple, in many cases the precision of their design cannot be ignored!
Application Areas for Valves
Valves are widely used in a number of industries, including but not limited to:
Oil and gas: used to control the transportation and storage of oil and gas.
Chemical: Valves are used to regulate the flow of chemicals in equipment such as reactors and filters.
Water treatment: valves help regulate the flow of water to ensure that treatment processes are carried out efficiently.
Construction: valves are vital components in water supply and heating systems.
