Valves are mechanical devices that control the flow and pressure within a system or process and are essential components of a piping system that carries liquids, gases, vapors, sludge, etc.... 

There are different types of valves available; for example gate, globe, spherical, butterfly, retention, diaphragm, pressure relief, control, etc. Each of these types has a model number that defines its unique characteristics and functional capabilities. Valves are expensive items, and it is essential that the valve to be used in each piping system is specified correctly. In this manuscript, we give a screenshot on the valves, their characteristics, and their assembly times.
