Being able to control flow, flow rates and flow direction, is critical to many processes. Depending on process flow, pressure and media, different types of valves need to be utilized. Ball valves, needle valves, solenoid valves, butterfly valves and pressure relieve valves, are some of the more common valves used on board ships. Furthermore, most valves can be remotely operated via actuators and signals.

Valves
Basic – but Essential to Operations
Valves are used for many purposes and are available in just as many varieties. The basic function of a valve is to create a variable barrier between the two sides of the valve. Valves are most commonly used for three purposes; open/close, control or safety. Depending on what the valves’ intended use is, the characteristics can be very different in regards to shape, size and materials.
As valves are one of the most common items found on board most ships, they are crucial for the operation, functionality and safety of the vessel. It is therefore, critical to have them functioning and well maintained at all times. If the wrong valve malfunctions at the wrong time, it could lead to delays, additional cost and in the extreme case even disaster. Apart from the valves themselves, all the directly related components are just as vital, and whether it is an actuator, a postioner or a switch, the failure of one of these ‘sub components’ could have the same affect as a failing valve.
