A Storm valve is basically a Swing check valve with a Closing device. The closing device is usually a hand wheel but they can also be actuated. Storm valves are usually found on ships in sanitary piping systems which have a ships side exit. They prevent sea water entering the system during a heavy sea.

What is the difference between plug valves and globe valves with plug?

A Plug Valve is a Globe Valve. Very generally speaking there are two major catagories of Industrial Process Control Valves, Sliding Stem and Rotary. Globe Bodies valves fall into the category of Sliding Stem Valves. Butterfly and Ball valves fall into the category of Rotary valves. However there are what is referred as Rotary Plug Valves, whereby a partial sphere has a shaft eccentrically mounted, that rotates into and out of a metal or composition seat acting as a plug. Most plug valves are sliding stem.

What is valve in hydraulics pneumatics What are the types?

In hydraulics and pneumatics, a valve is a device that controls the flow and pressure of fluid within a system. Valves can regulate the direction, pressure, and flow rate of the fluid, ensuring efficient operation of machinery. Common types of valves include directional control valves (like spool valves), flow control valves, pressure relief valves, and check valves, each serving specific functions within hydraulic and pneumatic circuits. These valves are essential for automating processes and ensuring safety in fluid power systems.

When valves of veins do not function properlythey are referred to as competent valves?

They would be considered incompetent valves because they are not working properly. You need all the vein valves to work properly for maximum functioning.


What is the function of the cords that attach to the valves?

The cords that attach to the heart valves are called chordae tendineae. Their primary function is to anchor the valves to the heart's ventricles, ensuring that the valves open and close properly during the cardiac cycle. They prevent the valves from inverting or prolapsing into the atria when the ventricles contract, thereby maintaining proper blood flow and preventing backflow.
