In addition, it should be noted that most valves can be categorized into <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Valve\">one or more classifications.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Gesti\u00f3n de Compras has developed<a href=\"https:\/\/wp.gestiondecompras.com\/en\/products\/steel-equipment-boiler-works-and-pipe-fittings\/valves\/\"> a great experience in manufacturing<\/a> steel, stainless steel, copper and brass valves, cast iron&#8230; For example, butterfly valves, WAFER type, safety valves, control valves, check valves, globe valves, ball valves, diaphragm valves, needle valves, gate valves, pressure relief valves, pressure compensating valves, control valves, multifunction valves, check valves, non-return valves, etc&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Classification according to function<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Shut-off valves. They are used to stop the flow or isolate a part of the system until the desired flow rate is reached.<\/li>\n<li>Regulating valve. Used in piping systems to regulate the flow of fluid. The regulation is carried out by increasing or decreasing the flow in response to a pressure, flow or temperature control mechanism.<\/li>\n<li>In general check or control valves are used for the prevention of back flow in piping systems. They are mostly self-acting, so the plug is held open by forward flow and closes quickly with reverse flow.<\/li>\n<li>Pressure relief. They are used to protect pipes and equipment that are subjected to pressures that exceed the pressure they can withstand by design. Safety valves are part of this group.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13462\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.gestiondecompras.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/valves.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"388\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.gestiondecompras.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/valves.jpg 388w, https:\/\/wp.gestiondecompras.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/valves-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wp.gestiondecompras.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/valves-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 388px) 100vw, 388px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Classification according to capacity<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Linear motion.

The obturator and shaft rotate from 0\u00ba to 90\u00ba from the fully open to the closed position.
