  2. Control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

    A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure , temperature , and liquid level.

  3. Piping and instrumentation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_instrumentation...

    Process control instrumentation and designation (names, numbers, unique tag identifiers), including: Valves and their types and identifications (e.g. isolation, shutoff, relief and safety valves, valve interlocks) Control inputs and outputs (sensors and final elements, interlocks)

  4. List of valves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

    Gate valve, mainly for on–off control, with low pressure drop; Globe valve, good for regulating flow. Uses a cylinder movement over a seat; Knife valve, similar to a gate valve, but usually more compact. Often used for slurries or powders on–off control; Needle valve for accurate flow control; Pinch valve, for slurry flow regulation and ...

  5. Pinch valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinch_valve

    Pinch valves employ an elastic tubing (sleeve/hose) and a device that directly contacts the tubing (body). Forcing the tubing together creates a seal that is equivalent to the tubing's permeability. [1] Air-operated pinch valves consist of an elasticised reinforced rubber hose, a type of housing, and two socket end covers (or flanges).

    IEC 61514 Industrial process control systems – Methods of evaluating the performance of valve positioners with pneumatic outputs IEC 61515 Mineral insulated thermocouple cables and thermocouples IEC 61518 Mating dimensions between differential pressure (type) measuring instruments and flanged-on shut-off devices up to 413 BAR (41,3 MPa)

  8. Fire pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_pump

    Examples would be fused (opened) fire sprinklers, fire hose valves connected to a standpipe, or automatic control valves opened by release panels. Fire pumps are utilized when determined by hydraulic calculations that the existing water supply cannot provide sufficient pressure to meet the hydraulic design requirements of the suppression system.

  9. Blueprint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blueprint

    The sequence is a computer file which will control the operation of the machine tools used to make the part. In the case of construction plans, such as road work or erecting a building, the supervising workers may view the "blueprints" directly on displays, rather than using printed paper sheets.
