Valves are mechanical devices that control the flow of fluids (liquids, gases, or slurries) through pipes or tubes by opening, closing, or partially obstructing passageways. They are used in industries such as plumbing, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and food processing to manage fluid flow, ensure safety, and maintain efficiency. Types include ball valves, butterfly valves, gate valves, control valves, and check valves, each serving specific functions from quick shutoff to precise flow regulation. Compliance with standards like ISO 5208, API 600, EN 593, ASME B16.34, and DIN 3352 ensures safety, reliability, and performance. Well-known manufacturers like Alfa Laval, Festo, and ARI-Armaturen, along with other leading manufacturers, offer their 3D CAD models on 3Dfindit, including valves.
