Examples include safety valves, check valves, pressure reducing valves, and automatic exhaust valves. Actuated Valves: These valves are operated manually, electrically, hydraulically, or pneumatically. Examples include butterfly valves, gate valves, and ball valves. II.Classification by purpose and function Shut-off Valves: Primarily used to stop or start the flow of the medium. This includes gate valves, globe valves, plug valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, etc. Regulating Valves: Primarily used to regulate the flow, pressure, etc., of the medium. This includes control valves, throttle valves, pressure reducing valves, etc. Check Valves: Used to prevent the backflow of the medium. This includes various types of check valves.
