What is the difference between Trunnion mounted ball valves and floating ball valves?
Sealing Makes all the difference. The key difference beteween a floating ball valve and a trunnion mounted ball valve is how each achieves a line seal. Trunion mounted ball valves are uses a spring mechanism and/or line pressure assistance to drive the upstream seat against the stationary ball. The surface area exposed to the pressure through the relatively small passageway is actually just the back of the seat. The floating ball valve utilize natural line pressure to press and seal the ball against the downstream seat. The line pressure is exposed to a greater surface area - the entire upstream face of the ball, which is an area equal to the actual pipe size.
How do you identify upstream end of a ball valve?
in open condition the valve handle lever indicates the upstream end of a ball valveANS 2 - Most ball valves where that matters will have an arrow embossed on the valve body. In the case of many ball valve flow direction is immaterial.
How does a dam release water?
A dam releases water through a controlled structure called a spillway or outlet works. The spillway is designed to safely discharge excess water from the reservoir to prevent overtopping of the dam and potential flooding downstream. The water is released either through gates that can be opened or closed as needed, or through a series of valves or pipes that control the flow rate. The release of water is carefully managed to balance the needs of flood control, water supply, and power generation.
Can control valves be used to increase the pressure of fluid in a flow line?
yes but not the volume
How a deluge valve works?
Deluge valves are hydraulically operated differential type valves used to control water supply to a deluge system. Deluge systems use open sprinklers or nozzles. Trim sets are used to control the operation of the valve.
What are upstream and down stream valves?
Upstream and downstream valves refer to the positioning of valves in relation to the flow of fluid in a piping system. Upstream valves are located before a specific point in the system, controlling the flow entering that point, while downstream valves are positioned after that point, regulating the flow exiting it. These designations help in maintenance, troubleshooting, and ensuring proper fluid control within the system.
What is the use and features of the Expanding gate valves?
Expanding gate valves are used in various industrial areas like isolation valves in power plants, ESD valves in production, block valves in process systems, high temperature valves in refineries, and pipeline valves in critical areas. These expanding gate valves manufactured by various manufacturers are available in all the sizes, pressure ranges, and trims used in piping systems requiring the positive shut off of liquid or gas. The expanding gate valves are full bore through conduit valves with rising stem and parallel expanding gate and segment for tight mechanical seal and positive shutoff, both upstream and downstream, and under both low and high differential pressure. An expanding gate valves should have the following features: Parallel expanding gate design creates positive mechanical seal across both seats, both upstream and downstream, with or without line pressure. Non-rising stem permits valve installation in pressure drop.
What does a valves do?
Valves in general control the flow of something. They serve as regulators.
What do modulating control valves do?

Do the aortic and pulmonary valves control the flow of the blood into the heart?
No, semilunar valves control the flow of blood out of the heart.

What position should control valves be in?
open
How many types of control valves?
26
Which website offers flow control valves at a discount for plumbers?
The Valve Shop has a large selection of flow valves. They also have air, ball, control and butterfly valves. The store's website is http://www.thevalveshop.com/
What is the device for controlling the flow of liquid?
A valve is the device used to control the flow of liquid. Valves can be opened or closed to regulate the amount of liquid passing through a pipeline or system. There are different types of valves, such as gate valves, ball valves, and butterfly valves, each serving specific purposes in liquid flow control.
What parts do you need for shower control valves?
This depends on what exactly you want to control and where.
