As their name suggests, globe valves are linear motion valves with rounded globular shaped bodies. Since their shape is similar to other valve bodies, positive identification must be made based on ...

Ball valves are quarter-turn, straight-through valves that have a round closure element with matching rounded seats that permit uniform sealing stress. The valve gets its name from the ball that ...

These four performance parameters cannot be sacrificed. Each selected valve should provide leak-tight performance at ...

I've been slowly upgrading the plumbing in my older home. As part of that, I'm replacing the old gate valves at each fixture with quarter-turn valves, otherwise known as ball valves. Putting a ball ...

As the valve opens further, the flow may become choked, but the valve damage will likely be reduced as the plug moves away from the seat. Figure 4. This graph compares the vena contracta pressures of ...

We considered the possibility of a ball design for the valve, hoping that thrombus formation would stop at the margin of the valve orifice and not interfere with valvular function 4. Such devices ...

Attempting to represent the flow capacity of an FBBV in terms of control valve standard methods is confounding and can be very misleading, especially when comparing different ball valve units. Based ...

Turn standard stop valves several times clockwise to close. A ball-type valve requires only one-quarter turn. A shut off ball valve has a hole in the ball, which completely opens or closes with ...

Linear valves are expected to account for the largest share of the industrial valve market during the forecast period. The digital transformation systems segment accounted for the largest share of ...
