ROTARY MOTION
GLOBE
BUTTERFLY
GATE
BALL
DIAPHRAGM
PLUG
Globe Valve
General Characteristics
Causing Turbulence & high P
Plug prone to wear/erosion
Recommended for throttling
Used for unidirectional flow
Valves bore < pipe opening
Can be
Single seated
Double seated
Gate Valve
General Characteristics
Straight flow
Directionless valve
Minimum pressure drop
Valve's bore pipe opening
Not recommended for throttling
Occupy less space as compare to
Globe
Diaphragm Valve
General Characteristics
No stuffing box packing
Not recommended for HP
Used where tight closure is
important
Long life and friendly
maintenance valve
Normally used for scale forming
or corrosive fluid
Diaphragm Valve
Butterfly Valve
General Characteristics
Reliable & long service life
Lines cannot be cleaned by pig
Suitable for low pressure
service,10-20 bar
Easy to operate, both manually
& by remote control.
Circular shaped disc used for
quick opening/closing
Ball Valve
General Characteristics
Low P
Easy operation
Quick opening
Two-way flow possible
Low maintenance costs
Ball is used for opening &
closing
Plug Valve
General Characteristics
Used for quick opening and
closing
Not recommended for
throttling
Used for more than one
inlet/outlet lines
Provides straight through
flow
Used for low pressure services

Linear
(Conical)
Equal Percentage
(Tapered)
Quick Opening
(Flat)
Cage
General Characteristics
A bit less hard material
According to the requirement
of process
Guides the Plug
Reduces the noise (10 to 15 db)
Types of Cages
Quick Opening
Linear
Equal Percentage
Packing Flange
Lantern Ring
Packing Material
Teflon
Graphite
Grafoil
Asbestos
fail-closed/fail-open
Each valve must move to its safest position when either the
electric power or the air pressure fail
Quick opening
Not suitable for regulating flow.
Appropriate for relief valve & on-off control system.
Linear
the linear characteristic produces a coefficient* proportional
to the valve position
(Cond)
Equal percentage
equal increments in valve position result in equal relative or
percentage increment in the valve coefficient*
*valve coefficient
the flow in gallons per minute of water that flows through a
valve at a pressure drop of 1 psi across the valve
