Valves in Engineering

Engineering is a vast and complex field, encompassing many different disciplines and applications. One area of engineering that plays a critical role in many industries is valve engineering. Valves are essential components in many systems, from pipelines to industrial processes and choosing the right valve can make a significant difference in performance and efficiency. In this blog, we will discuss different types of valves and why Christy Engineering Solutions is the go-to choice for valve engineering. You can find out more about how we can help with an array of Process Valves further on our website.

Types of Valves

There are many different types of valves, each with their own unique features and applications. Here are some of the most common types of ball valves:

• Ball Valves: Ball valves are designed with a ball-shaped disc that rotates to control the flow of fluid or gas through a system. They are highly durable and easy to operate, making them an ideal choice for many applications.

• Gate Valves: Gate valves are designed to completely shut off or allow the flow of fluid or gas. They are often used in applications where a full-full opening is required.

• Globe Valves: Globe valves are designed with a disc that moves up and down to control the flow of fluid or gas. They are highly versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications.

• Butterfly Valves: Butterfly valves are designed with a disc that rotates to control the flow of fluid or gas. They are highly efficient and are typically used in applications where a high-flow rate is required.
  
• Knife gate valves: Knife gate valves are a type of valve that are normally used in industrial applications to control the flow of powders, liquids or slurries. They are designed to handle viscous and highly abrasive media making them an extremely popular choice in industries such as rail infrastructure, mining, pulp & paper and wastewater treatment. With high abrasion resistance, low cost and low maintenance being just a few advantages of using knife gate valves.
