Pre-selection for industrial process valves

Valve Types

Five valve types, one page each: the envelope, where the type is used, and where it stops. Numbers follow the site's knowledge base.

isolation
Ball Valves

Quarter-turn, full-bore, the tightest mainstream shutoff.

isolation
Gate Valves

Zero obstruction when open — the classic full-bore isolation valve.

isolation · throttling
Globe Valves

The pressure drop is the point — the standard manual regulating valve.

check
Check Valves

No operator, no actuator — flow direction does the work.

isolation · throttling
Butterfly Valves

A fraction of the weight and cost of a gate valve at large sizes.
