What is a valve made of?
Thread Content
For beginners, could you explain what a valve is made of?
Valve body, valve core, sealing surface, actuation head or handwheel
Different valves have different structural components. Generally, the five most common types of valves – gate valves, globe valves, check valves, ball valves, and butterfly valves – consist of the following components: Gate valves: valve body, valve cover, support frame, valve stem, gate plate, fasteners, seals, handwheel (electric actuator, pneumatic actuator, gear mechanism), etc； Stop valve: valve body, valve cover, valve stem, valve disc, fasteners, seals, handwheel (electrical actuator, pneumatic actuator, gear set), etc ； Check valve: valve body, valve cover, lugs, cross shaft, valve disc, fasteners, seals, etc ； Ball valve: valve body, valve cover, valve stem, ball, fasteners, seals, handle (electrical actuator, pneumatic actuator, gear set). Butterfly valve: valve body, gland, bracket, valve stem, butterfly disc, fasteners, seals, actuation mechanism including electrical actuator, pneumatic actuator, gear set, gearbox, etc ；
Different valves have different components, mainly the valve body, valve stem, valve core, etc.:lol :lol :handshake
There are also fillers and filler bolts. High-pressure angle valves also come with flanges, and some are equipped with worm gears to reduce the effort required for operation.
