Globe valves are designed for throttling and regulating flow, while gate valves are primarily used for on/off control and isolation

Valves are essential components in fluid systems, offering control over flow direction, pressure, and volume. They can be broadly categorized into manual, actuated, and automatic types, each with various subtypes. Selection depends on factors like fluid type, pressure, temperature, flow requirements, and desired actuation method.

A check valve, also known as a one-way or non-return valve, allows fluid (liquid or gas) to flow in only one direction. It prevents backflow, ensuring that the fluid moves in the desired direction and protects the system from damage.

A full port (or full bore) ball valve is a type of valve where the internal diameter of the valve's bore (the opening through the ball) is the same size as the pipe it's connected to. This design ensures minimal flow restriction and pressure drop when the valve is fully open, allowing for maximum flow capacity.

Ball valves use a rotating ball with a bore to control flow, offering quick shut-off and tight sealing, while gate valves use a sliding gate to regulate flow, often preferred for high flow capacities and high-pressure environments.

A Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) maintains a consistent downstream pressure by automatically adjusting the flow of a fluid or gas, even when the upstream pressure fluctuates. It works by balancing the force of a spring against the force exerted by the fluid or gas on a diaphragm or piston, which then controls the valve opening

This comprehensive guide explores various types of pipe clamps used in piping systems, including standard pipe clamps for securing pipes, hose clamps (such as ear clamps, worm gear clamps, and spring clamps) for sealing flexible hose connections, and ferrules for creating high-pressure compression seals.

Cryogenic valves use long neck bonnets primarily to keep the valve's packing and stem seal away from the extreme low temperatures of the process fluid, preventing freezing and ensuring reliable sealing. The extended bonnet also allows for insulation to be applied without interfering with the valve's operation.
