analysis and investigation of some valves used in oil and gas industries

Valves are critical components of a pipe system. they are the most important parts of the oil and gas sector, and they serve a variety of functions. valves are used to manage flow, safeguard equipment, and refine crude oil in the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors. a valve is a mechanical component in a piping system that is used to open and stop fluid passages, prevent fluid return, control flow, or provide safety. the most common mechanical device used in process operations is the valve. valves are used to control the flow of liquids and gases in piping systems. in a plumbing system, valves provide a variety of functions. in the oil and gas sector, valves are an integral feature of any piping system. as a result, they play an important role in a wide range of activities and applications. liquids, gases, viscous materials, and corrosive mediums are all encountered by valves in the oil and gas industry. in this article, five types of valves such as ball valve, butterfly valve, globe valve, gate valve and poppet valve have been analyzed. the design and overall operation of the valves are also discussed.
