[edit] Type of Valves

I would like to list the most commom types of valves and Wiki links for them. sincerely, Fernando Fraga. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.12.61.227 (talk) 11:33, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits

I unlinked switch because 1) valves are not usually understood as switches and 2) the switch article is only about electrical switches. I unlinked "flow" partly because there is no longer an article about flow, and partly because, as I think it would be impossible to make a reasonable article called "flow", I don't want to encourage the creation of a new one. --Ryguasu 00:39 Dec 3, 2002 (UTC)

[edit] Ball Bearing

What's name for a simple one-way valve composed of a spring pushing a BB in the upstream direction against a seel so that downstream flow opens the valve but upstream flow isn't possible? —Ben FrantzDale 03:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Valves of veins

Solenoid_valve

Valves of veins need to be mentioned here. AxelBoldt 05:59, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Valve-Software

Maybe there should be a link to VALVe (Valve-Software) ? because it's more know under the name valve then valve-software ^^ sincerely, NiHiliM

[edit] No mention of electrical valves

No mention is made about the electrical valves that was partly replaced by transistors. The defenition must thus also be elaborated to include the regulation of electrical current 155.239.114.152 19:03, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No mention of piezoelectric pneumatic valve

A piezoelectric solenoid valve has low response times (~100s of micro seconds), a unlimited service life (more than 1 billion cycles), and extremely low power consumption (~0.01 W). May be should be added to the Solenoid_valve article. Larytet

[edit] A great article

TO the author: as a writer and editor with little or no knowledge of valves, I have this to say: your article is a freaking MASTERPIECE! Detailed. Well-written. Informative. Great job, and THANKS! 69.118.234.2 14:33, 24 October 2007 (UTC) (<???...tildes? Whatever...you wikis are WEIRD...)

[edit] Now I understand the tildes!

See previous post! ;-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.234.2 (talk) 14:34, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Engineering Drawing Request

 It is requested that a photograph or photographs be included in this article to improve its quality.
The Free Image Search Tool (FIST) may be able to locate suitable images on Flickr and other web sites.

It would be extremely helpful to include more images especially engineering cutaway type diagrams (the kind you might find in a valve manufacturer's catalog) of standard valve types ( ball, gate, check, butterfly, globe, plug, needle, guage) pointing out applicable features, ( flange, raised face flange, stem, disc, wafer, bonnet, spring, ball, port, trunion mount, threaded connection, handwheel etc.). Excellent (but proprietary) examples are contained here: http://www.henrypratt.com/products/drawings/RD%20Series%20Check%20PG%202.pdf https://www.ancorp.com/LinePhoto/B1075-QF16-IL.jpg http://www.asahi-america.com/documents/documents/Asahi-English/Manual%20Globe%20Valves.pdf 12.163.168.130 20:02, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Following up, it would also be great if we could have some pictures of the actual (physical) cutaway if anyone feels like talking to a valve manufacturer (Offshore Technology Conference or another industry gathering might be another good place to get the photos)12.163.168.130 20:08, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
