Valves are devices to that are used to regulate the flow of fluids and gases by obstructing them or allowing them to pass through pipes or cisterns. There are various types of valves, each for a specific operation and use. A check valve is ...
Body The body is the main pressure containing structure of the valve and the most but easily identified as it forms the mass of the valve. It contains all of the valve's internal parts that will come in contact with the substance being ...
The diesel internal combustion engine differs from the gasoline powered Otto cycle by using highly compressed hot air to ignite the fuel rather than using a spark plug (compression ignition rather than spark ignition). In the true diesel ...

A butterfly valve is a valve which can be used for isolating or regulating flow. The closing mechanism takes the form of a disk. Operation is similar to that of a ball valve, which allows for quick shut off. Butterfly valves are generally ...
There are five general body styles of ball valves: single body, three piece body, split body, top entry, and welded. The difference is based on how the pieces of the valve_especially the casing that contains the ball itself_are manufactured ...
Pneumatics is a branch of technology, which deals with the study and application of use of pressurized gas to effect mechanical motion. Pneumatic systems are extensively used in industry, where factories are commonly plumbed with compressed ...
