The valve is a pipeline accessory used to open and close the pipeline, control the flow direction, and adjust and control the parameters (temperature, pressure and flow) of the conveying medium. According to its function, it can be divided into shut-off valve, check valve, regulating valve, etc.
The valve is a control component in the fluid conveying system, which has the functions of cut-off, regulation, diversion, prevention of backflow, voltage stabilization, diversion or overflow and pressure relief. Valves used in fluid control systems, from the simplest shut-off valve to various valves used in extremely complex automatic control systems, have a wide variety and specifications.
Valves can be used to control the flow of various types of fluids such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, oil, liquid metal and radioactive media. Valves are also divided into cast iron valves, cast steel valves, stainless steel valves (201, 304, 316, etc.), chrome molybdenum steel valves, chrome molybdenum vanadium steel valves, dual-phase steel valves, plastic valves, non-standard customized valves, etc.
