Types of Valve

In pneumatics, a pressure relief valve (PRV) is essential to preserving the integrity and security of compressed air systems in pipelines and vessels. Alternatively referred to as a relief valve or pressure release valve, it serves as a safety measure to stop over pressurisation, which may cause harm or put workers and equipment at risk.

Check valves, sometimes referred to as one-way valves, or non-return valves, are essential for controlling fluid flow as they only permit one direction of flow. These devices are crucial to preventing backflow, a possible problem that might cause contamination within a system. Throughout this piece, we’ll go over the many uses for check valves, their practicalities, and the important factors to consider when selecting the best one for your requirements.

As part of our push to expand our products we have been building on some of our existing lines, the most recent being our Expansion Bellows.

Our Family of HQ Electric actuators have become one of the most popular actuators used in the UK, throughout a wide range of industries such as Water Treatment, HVAC, Process Plants, Biogas, Marine & Shipping and many more.

We take a look at how knife gate valves to see how they work, take a look at different designs and see what applications they can be used for.
