Motor Actuated Valve Application Guide Ball Valves

From Clark Solutions

The control valve is one of the most important items in a fluidic system. If greater attention were paid to the proper sizing and application of control valves there would be fewer flow control problems. A valve that is undersized can result in insufficient flow at design conditions. An oversized valve is subject to instability as it attempts to control flow over a very small portion of its overall flow range. In effect, an oversized valve will have a much greater change in flow for the same change in signal as a properly sized valve.

Solenoid Valves
Solenoid valves are devices that use a solenoid to control valve activation.
Steam Valves
Steam valves are used to control the flow and pressure level of steam and heated water vapor.
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.
Globe Valves
Globe valves are linear motion valves with rounded bodies, from which their name is derived.  They are widely used in industry to regulate fluid flow in both on/off and throttling service.
