The Essential Guide to Understanding Valves and Hoses in Industrial Applications

What Are Valves?
Valves are mechanical devices used to control the flow of fluids, whether they are liquids, gases, or slurries. Valves come in various forms, each suited for specific applications.

Types of Valves:
Ball Valves: Ball valves use a spherical disc to control flow and are favored for their excellent shut-off capabilities and frequent operation.
Butterfly Valves: Compact and lightweight, butterfly valves control flow with a disc that pivots in the center and are suitable for larger pipelines.
