Gate Valves
Gate valves and knife valves are linear motion valves in which a flat closure element slides into the media stream to shut off flow.
Ball Valves
Ball valves provide tight shut-off and characterizable control. They have high rangeability due to the design of the regulating element and few complications from side loads typical of butterfly or globe valves.
Butterfly Valves
Butterfly valves control flow through a circular disc or vane by turning the valve's pivot axis at right angles to the direction of flow in the pipe. They are normally used as throttling valves to control flow.
Solenoid Valves
Solenoid valves are devices that use a solenoid to control valve activation.
