Control valves are valves used to control conditions such as Fluid dynamics flow , pressure , temperature , and liquid level by fully or partially opening or closing in response to signals received from controllers that compare a setpoint to a process variable whose value is provided by sensors that monitor changes in such conditions. ref cite book author Bela G. Liptak Editor title Instrument Engineers Handbook edition 4th Edition publisher CRC Press year 2003 isbn 0 8493 1083 0 ref The opening or closing of control valves is usually done automatically by electrical , hydraulic or pneumatic actuators . Positioners are used to control the opening or closing of the actuator based on electric, or pneumatic signals. These control signals, traditionally based on 3 15psi 0.2 1.0bar , more common now are 4 20mA signals for industry, 0 10V for HVAC systems, and the introduction of Smart systems, HART, Fieldbus Foundation, and Profibus being the more common protocols.

Butterfly valve , for flow regulation in large pipe diameters. Ceramic Disc valve , used mainly in high duty cycle applications or on abrasive fluids. Ceramic disc can also provide Class IV seat leakage Check valve or non return valve, allows the fluid to pass in one direction only. Choke valve , a valve that raises or lowers a solid cylinder which is placed around or inside another cylinder which has holes or slots. Used for high pressure drops found in oil and gas wellheads. Diaphragm valve , which controls flow by a movement of a diaphragm. Upstream pressure, downstream pressure, or an external source e.g., pneumatic, hydraulic, etc. can be used to change the position of the diaphragm. Gate valve , mainly for on off control, with low pressure drop. Globe valve , good for regulating flow. Knife valve , similar to a gate valve, but usually more compact.

Spiral valves of Heister are undulating folds or valves in the proximal mucosa of the cystic duct . The cystic duct attaches the gallbladder to the common bile duct . The spiral valves of Heister are supported by underlying smooth muscle fibers. There is some uncertainty regarding the role of the folds. Historically, physicians believed that their function was to aid in the passage of bile to and from the gallbladder, as well as regulate the degree of gallbladder distension. The presence of the spiral folds, in combination with the tortuosity of the cystic duct, makes endoscopic cannula tion and catheterization of the cystic duct extremely difficult. Also, the valves of Heister impede the introduction of surgical instruments and are susceptible to laceration s. They were named after German anatomist Lorenz Heister 1683 1758 .

This is for example where there is a risk of flood water entering a site but an equal risk of pollution or a chemical spills leaving a site and polluting the environment. Pneumatic non return valves are installed below ground and can be used to pneumatically lock the non return valve closed thus containing a site in the event of a spill. It is common practice to lock sites using pneumatic non return valves during the loading or transferring of chemicals or hazardous waste. Pneumatic non return valves have a longer service life when compared to pneumatic bladder systems. Category Valves ... more details

Diaphragm valves or membrane valves consists of a valve body with two or more ports, a diaphragm, and a saddle or seat upon which the diaphragm closes the valve. The valve is constructed from either plastic or steel . Originally, the diaphragm valve was developed for use in non hygienic applications. Later on the design was adapted for use in the bio pharmaceutical industry by using compliant materials that can withstand sanitizing and sterilizing methods. NOTOC There are two main categories of diaphragm valves one type seals over a weir saddle and the other sometimes called a straight way valve seals over a seat. The main difference is that a saddle type valve has its two ports in line with each other on the opposite sides of the valve, whereas the seat type has the in out ports located at a right angle 90 degree angle from one another.

Servo valves and Servo Proportional Valves are electro hydraulic operate by transforming a changing analogue or digital input signal into a smooth set of movement in a hydraulic cylinder. Servo valves can provide precise control of position, velocity, pressure and force with good post movement damping characteristics. Control A low voltage is used control the servo valve. The control voltage is passed into an amplifier which provides the power to alter the valve s position. The valve will then deliver a measured amount of fluid power to an actuator.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date February 2009 An Air Operated Valve is a type of power operated valve that uses air pressure against a piston or diaphragm mechanics diaphragm to produce linear or circular movement to operate a valve.Air Valves perform two important functions in a piping system. They maintain system design efficiency and provide system protection. System efficiency is maintained by venting air via the air valves from the system that can restrict flow and increase pumping costs. Protection is provided by exhausting and admitting air through the air valves during system operations including start up, shutdown, and critical conditions such as power failures or line breaks. The exhausting and admitting of air during these conditions will reduce the potential for destructive surges and water hammer normally associated with uncontrolled air or a vacuum condition within the piping system.
