A pressure relief valve is one that is used to limit the pressure in a system within a specific set level. However, a pressure safety valve actuates automatically to release excessive pressure. Relief valve opens only when the pressure reaches the specific set pressure limit and is usually operated by an operator. It does not require operator assistance to release … Continue reading “Difference between Pressure Relief Valves and Pressure Safety Valves”

Valves are considered to be the essential components in the hydraulic system. A valve that maintains lower pressures in the hydraulic system is called a pressure-reducing valve. Valves are considered to be the crucial components in the hydraulic system. A valve that maintains lower pressures in the hydraulic system is called a pressure-reducing valve. It determines … Continue reading “Pressure Reducing Valves in Hydraulic system”

A check valve is a mechanical device that is used to prevent backflow in a piping system. In other words, check valves obstruct the fluid flow in one direction and enables unobstructed flow in the opposite direction. The check valve is also commonly known as a non-return valve (NRV) or a one-way valve.  Check valves … Continue reading “Importance of Check Valves in Hydraulic Systems”

A mechanical device that controls the flow of the liquid, usually by opening and closing is referred to as a valve. The primary purpose of a hydraulic valve is to direct the flow of a liquid medium that will move actuators and loads through the hydraulic system. There are various types of hydraulic valves and … Continue reading “Hydraulic Valves – Types and Components”

Since all the mechanical systems that provide thermal comfort and air quality in a room/indoor area are interconnected, they are often grouped together and are called HVAC systems. It includes central air conditioners, heat pumps, boilers, furnaces, rooftop units, chillers, and packaged units. HVAC valves are used to control flow in pipes. Major components of … Continue reading “Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning System (HVAC)”

A valve is a device that regulates the fluid flow as well as the pressure within a system or process. Unlike on-off valves, a control valve is used to regulate the fluid flow by stopping and starting the fluid flow as per the direction is given by the controller. Control Valve Control valves consist of … Continue reading “Applications and Working process of Control Valve”

Gate valves are the most common valves found in the distribution system. Gate valves are mostly used for the on/ off control. Gate valves prevent the flow of the liquid in both directions. They are very easy to install and to maintain. Gate valves are cost-efficient and they are mostly used in petroleum industries because … Continue reading “How does it work: Gate Valves”

A butterfly valve is used to isolate or regulate the flow of a fluid. It can be used for a wide range of applications such as water supply, wastewater treatment, and fire protection, for chemical and fuel industries and many more.  Butterfly Valve Working Principle It is based on the quick shut off principle. The … Continue reading “Valve Design and Working Principle of Butterfly Valve”

A butterfly valve considered as a regulating device which is used to shut off the flow of a fluid. It is also known as quarter turn valves because it provides 90-degree rotary motion for the stoppage. They often came in large sizes but short in length and are of the very lightweight. They possess very … Continue reading “The Advantages, Application & Components of Butterfly Valves”
