Regulation Valves
Regulation (or regulating) valves are valves designed to control and manage flow rate, temperature, pressure, etc. Most regulation valves achieve this by using a plug or similar device to modulate the flow area available.
Common valve types used as regulation valves include:
- Globe valve
- Ball valve
- Butterfly valve
- Diaphragm Valve
- Pinch Valve
- Plug Valve [8]
(Note: All the examples beside the globe valve are also commonly used as isolation valves. See isolation valve page for details)
