Accepted Answer

Valves are devices that regulate, direct or control the flow of fluids or gases through pipes or ducts.

Types of valves include ball valves, gate valves, globe valves, check valves, and butterfly valves.
Ball valves have a spherical closure unit that allows for quick shut-off and control of flow.
Gate valves have a flat closure that slides into place to stop or allow flow.
Globe valves have a spherical closure unit with a stem that moves up and down to regulate flow.
Check valves allow flow in one direction only, preventing backflow.
Butterfly valves have a disc that rotates to control flow.
Valves can be used for a variety of functions, including isolation, regulation, and control of flow.
They are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, and manufacturing.
