What are the different types of valves?

Valves can be classified according to their purpose and function as follows: **Cut-off valves**: These are mainly used to stop or allow the flow of a medium. Examples include gate valves, globe valves, ball valves, disc valves, plug valves, and diaphragm valves. The Z45X-10/10Q/16/16Q soft-sealed gate valve is a type of cut-off valve. **Check valves**: Their function is to prevent the medium from flowing in the reverse direction. They come in various designs. **Regulating valves**: These are used to control the pressure and flow rate of the medium. Examples include pressure reducing valves, pressure regulating valves, and throttle valves. **Safety valves**: When the pressure of the medium exceeds the specified limit, these valves are designed to release the excess pressure, ensuring the safety of the pipeline system and the equipment. **Distribution valves**: Their purpose is to change the direction of the medium’s flow or to distribute it evenly. Examples include tee plug valves, distribution valves, and slide valves. **Valves for special purposes**: These include steam traps, vent valves, and drain valves, among others.
