Study Notes
- Stop valves manage fluid flow in pipelines, enabling full shutoff, partial restriction, or full passage.
- Essential in plumbing, industrial, and water supply systems for maintenance, safety, and emergency control.
- They also regulate pressure to prevent pipeline damage.
Stop Valve Categories
- Globe Valve: Regulates flow by moving a plug inside a chamber.
- Gate Valve: Starts or stops flow completely using a sliding gate.
- Ball Valve: Offers quick shutoff via a rotating ball with a hole.
- Butterfly Valve: Regulates flow efficiently with a rotating disc.
Valve Fitting Methods
- Bolted: Valves attach to pipe flanges with bolts and gaskets.
- Glued: Solvent or adhesive bonds the valve and pipe.
- Welded: Valves are permanently attached by welding for a leak-proof connection.
Valve Actuation Methods
- Hydraulic: Valves operated by fluid pressure.
- Pneumatic: Valves controlled via compressed air or gas.
- Manual: Valves adjusted by hand using a lever, wheel, or handle.
Packing and Gland Hanger
- Packing prevents leaks around the valve stem.
- The gland hanger applies pressure to keep the packing in place.
- The gland hanger ensures the packing remains compressed during valve operation, preventing fluid or gas from escaping and allowing smooth stem movement.
- Regular checks reduce wear and prolong valve life.
Pressure Relief Valve
- A pressure relief valve releases excess pressure from a system.
- It protects pipelines and tanks from overpressure damage by opening when pressure limits are exceeded.
