  2. Isolation valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_valve

    An isolation valve is a valve in a fluid handling system that stops the flow of process media to a given location, usually for maintenance or safety purposes. [1] They can also be used to provide flow logic (selecting one flow path versus another), and to connect external equipment to a system. [ 2 ]

  3. Block and bleed manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_and_bleed_manifold

    A Block and bleed manifold is a hydraulic manifold that combines one or more block/isolate valves, usually ball valves, and one or more bleed/vent valves, usually ball or needle valves, into one component for interface with other components (pressure measurement transmitters, gauges, switches, etc.) of a hydraulic system. The purpose of the ...

  4. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

    Valves stop (or regulate) the flow of liquids or gases. They are categorized by application, such as isolation, throttling, and non-return. Isolation valves temporarily disconnect part of a piping system to allow maintenance or repair, for example. Isolation valves are typically left in either a fully open or closed position.

  5. Isolation condenser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_condenser

    When the IC system is activated, a valve at the bottom of the IC condenser is opened which connects to a lower area on the reactor. The water falls to the reactor via gravity, allowing the condenser to fill with steam, which then condenses. This cycle runs continuously until the bottom valve is closed. [2]

    WAG – water alternating gas (describes an injection well which alternates between water and gas injection [citation needed]) WALKS – walkaway seismic profile; WAS – well access system; WATAN – water analysis; WAV3 – amplitude (in seismics) WAV4 – two-way travel time (in seismics) WAV5 – compensate amplitudes; WAVF – waveform log

  7. Environmental control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_control_system

    The quantity of bleed air flowing to the AC pack is regulated by the flow control valve (FCV). One FCV is installed for each PACK. A normally closed isolation valve prevents air from the left bleed system from reaching the right PACK (and vice versa), although this valve may be opened in the event of loss of one bleed system.

  8. Stopcock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stopcock

    Example of symbol for a stop valve. A stopcock is a form of valve used to control the flow of a liquid or gas. The term is not precise and is applied to many different types of valve. The only consistent attribute is that the valve is designed to completely stop the flow when closed fully.

  9. Completion (oil and gas wells) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completion_(oil_and_gas_wells)

    Pre-holed liner is often combined with openhole packers, such as swelling elastomers, mechanical packers or external casing packers, to provide zonal segregation and isolation. It is now quite common to see a combination of pre-holed liner, solid liner and swelling elastomer packers to provide an initial isolation of unwanted water or gas zones.
