Introduction to Industrial Valves and Fittings
Overview of industrial valve and fitting varieties, value in fluid dealing with, and system Management methods.
Valve Varieties and Features
Ball Valves: Prevalent apps, variations (three-way, four-way, high-force, compact, cryogenic, etc.)
Plug Valves: Significant-force and Swagelok choices, range criteria.
Needle Valves: Instrumentation, large-tension, subsea purposes, ferrule choices.
Bellows-Sealed Valves: Added benefits in large-purity and large-force methods.
Examine Valves: Spring-loaded, a single-way, inline, adjustable cracking force, high-purity possibilities.
Diaphragm Valves: Guide, pneumatic, chrome steel, significant purity.
Relief and Protection Valves: Pressure relief, adjustable relief, superior-pressure, safety valves.
Other Specialized Valves: Double block and bleed, metering valves, cryogenic and subsea valves.
Instrumentation Valves and Manifolds
Gauge Valves: Varieties, large-strain, Swagelok options.
Instrumentation Manifolds: Two-way, three-way, 5-way manifolds, and purposes.
Procedure Interface Valves: Connecting approach traces and instrumentation, block and bleed.
Industrial Fittings and Connectors
Tube Fittings: Twin ferrule, double ferrule, and single ferrule fittings; SS316 options.
Compression Fittings: Use in superior-tension systems, tube adapters, bulkhead fittings.
Weld Fittings: Butt-weld, socket-weld, significant-purity apps.
VCO and VCR Fittings: Confront seal fittings for ultra-high-purity programs.
Rapid Connectors: Types, Swagelok and Parker possibilities, shutoff and complete-movement versions.
Significant-Pressure Options
