Gate Valve

Gate valves vertically partition the path of the fluid using a gated structure, creating a straight-line flow of fluid.

Although these valves keep pressure loss and fluid resistance at a low level, they can only be used for on-off applications.

Globe Valve

Globe valves, so named for their spherical body shape, have an S-shaped fluid passage. Although these valves provide excellent sealing capability, they produce greater fluid resistance compared to gate valves.

Ball Valve

A ball valve is a form of quarter-turn valve which uses a hollow, perforated and pivoting ball to control flow through it. It is open when the ball's hole is in line with the flow and closed when it is pivoted 90-degrees by the valve handle.

Butterfly Valve

A butterfly valve is from a family of valves called quarter-turn valves. In operation, the valve is fully open or closed when the disc is rotated a quarter turn. The "butterfly" is a metal disc mounted on a rod. When the valve is closed, the disc is turned so that it completely blocks off the passageway.
