Valves play a pivotal role within the piping system, and each valve has a different role to play. To summarize, there are five functions for industrial valves. While it is possible that there are overlapping functions for one type. Commonly, most are more efficient in just one or two functions at a time.

• Stop & Start: Valve either allows media to pass or obstructs media flow so it won’t pass.

• Fluid Flow Control: The valve controls the media flow. Valves that have this function can be multidirectional. These are also multiports, meaning, they have more than exit points. Such characteristics allow the media to move in different directions.

• Pressure & Flow Regulation: Through the opening and closing, valves can adjust or maintain the pressure and flow within the pipes.

It can also increase pressure when vacuum is present.

• Throttling: Some valves allow partial opening so a certain percentage of media can flow through.
