Types of industrial valves: applications, strengths, and weaknesses

 These valves can control the flow of liquid or gas. This can be done through pipes and other passages by opening and closing passages and pipes or partially blocking them.

 

1. Gate valve 

The gate valve is designed to act as a shutoff valve. These valves help control the flow of liquid through the pipe. These valves are attached to the pipe to start or stop water flow or other types of liquid. Gate valves are used for a variety of purposes and are commonly used in homes and shopping centers. Various materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, and alloy steel and forged steel are used to manufacture these valves.

 

Gate valves are used to stop or start the flow of water. The operation of the gate valve involves lifting a circular, rectangular gate out of the flow path. When the gate valve is open, the pipe and gate have the same diameter, so nothing is blocking the flow. This whole diameter can determine the valve size. gridshells are also used in this.

 

2. Globe valve

Globe valves are one of the most common valve types used in a variety of applications. These valves are similar to gate valves and use linear motion to accelerate the flow. They are used to control the flow in the pipeline and are adjusted by the movable disc (or plug) position with respect to the fixed ring seat. The main advantage of globe valves is that they are less leaky than other valves.

 

Globe valves usually consist of a deflector that divides the inside of the pipe parallel to the pipe's length. They get their name from the shape of a sphere, with half of the two bodies separated by an internal baffle.

 

3. Ball valve

Ball Valve As the name implies, a ball valve is a valve that uses a ball to control the flow of material from one opening to the next. These valves work by adjusting the gas/liquid flow by opening, blocking, or partially opening the orifice. Ball valves are ideal for gas use as they can provide better sealing. Space frames are also commonly used in valves.

 

4. Butterfly valve

Butterfly Valve Butterfly valves are designed to regulate flow rate, but with limited controllability.

 

They can be used in a wide range of applications such as water, wastewater treatment, fire protection, gas supply, chemical and petroleum industries, fuel treatment systems and power generation. These valves can be operated with handles, gears, or actuators, depending on your specific needs.

 

5. Check valve

The check valve is also called the check valve. They allow the liquid to flow in only one direction and prevent the medium from flowing back in the opposite direction. The purpose of the check valve is to prevent the process flow from reversing in the system, causing equipment damage or process interruption.

 

They are generally known to protect pumps or gas system compressors in liquid applications where backflow can cause the pump or compressor to shut down. The basic design of the check valve reduces backflow in the line.

 

Due to its simple design, it can be operated without human intervention or automation. They depend on the speed of fluid flow that opens and closes.

Características de los marcos espaciales

Image
Los marcos espaciales son rígidos, livianos y se pueden definir como estructuras en forma de truss. Se construye enganchando las columnas en un patrón geométrico. Los marcos espaciales se pueden usar de manera eficiente para cubrir áreas grandes con un soporte interno mínimo. La robustez estructural del marco espacial se debe a la rigidez inherente del triángulo y las cargas de flexión transmitidas como cargas de tracción y compresión a lo largo de cada puntal. Análisis de diseño de la estructura del marco espacial Las  mallas espaciales  generalmente se diseñan utilizando una matriz rígida. Una característica especial de la matriz de rigidez del marco del espacio del edificio es la independencia de los coeficientes angulares. Si las juntas son lo suficientemente rígidas, puede ignorar la deflexión angular y simplificar el cálculo. Más técnicamente, esto se conoce como una matriz de vector isotrópico o una armadura de octeto con una sola unidad de ancho. Para variaciones más complejas,

Spatial structure: Dynamic and stable structure in the construction industry

Image
An open three-dimensional rigid structure frame is constructed by engaging struts in a specific geometric pattern. An integral body that supports heavy loads applied at any point by evenly distributing its weight in all directions. It is intended to operate as a unit. Spatial structures are commonly used to span / cover large areas with little internal support. Some of the unique features of: The spatial structure is as follows. Great extensibility Expansion with additional units Lightweight construction / shed High aesthetics Many companies has designed and built many exciting projects around the world using a variety of configurations.  Space frames  are usually designed using a rigid matrix. Rigidity, as one of its properties, makes the spatial frame independent of angular factors. Technical aspects of dynamic and dimensionally stable spatial structure: The combination of vertices and lines determines the shape of the structural shape. In the geometry of dynamic spatial structures,

Estruturas espaciais: a melhor estrutura para o design.

Image
  Durante anos, as  estruturas espaciais  tornaram-se um sistema particularmente competitivo em comparação com outros tipos de estrutura. Uma vez que permite cobrir grandes luzes usando elementos leves com uma montagem rápida, limpa e simples. Essas malhas espaciais permitem a adaptação às diferentes geometrias contempladas em projetos arquitetônicos, proporcionando uma estética minimalista visualmente moderna e atraente. As estruturas espaciais  são geralmente usadas nos projetos que precisam cobrir grandes superfícies, evitando a colocação de suportes intermediários, como projetos para piscinas, centros esportivos, rodoviárias, ... Atualmente, existem muitos sistemas de strutura espacial que dependem da capacidade de carga necessária no projeto de arquitetura. INTRODUÇÃO É um método de construção que possui uma estrutura composta por um grande número de elementos de aço similares, relativamente pequenos e padronizados, que formam uma grade tridimensional. Essas estruturas espacia
