Valve Functions

Valve functionality can help determine which valve is best suited to your specific application. While there is a broad range of valve types available on the market today, they serve five basic functions:

  • On-off
  • Flow control
  • Directional flow
  • Over-pressure protection
  • Excess-flow protection

Your first question in selecting a valve should be:

What function does this valve serve?


How to Select the Right Valve

Finding the optimal valves for industrial fluid systems and sampling systems requires careful consideration. We suggest using the practical STAMPED method to select the valves most suited to your industrial fluid or sampling system design applications. 

The STAMPED method helps you make an educated decision because it helps you take into account 7 key factors related to your selection. The 7 factors include:

S: Size

T: Temperature

A: Application

M: Material

P: Pressure

E: End Connection

D: Delivery

 

There are numerous factors to consider when selecting the right valve for your application and system. Valve function, combined with STAMPED, can lead to safe valve selection.
