Across
  1. 1. Uses a fine needle for very precise, delicate flow control
  2. 5. Allow fluid in only one direction, preventing backflow, crucial for system protection
  3. 8. Highlights the clamping action on the tube
  4. 9. used in hydraulic systems & consist of a cylindrical spool that moves within a housing
  5. 10. Controls pressure. acting as the final control element to prevent over pressurization
  6. 13. Emphasizing the key liner component
  7. 15. Suitable for low to medium pressure pipelines
  8. 17. Essential component in hydraulic systems for controlling direction
  9. 18. Vital in high pressure for isolation & pressure release
  10. 19. A gate or wedge slides into the flow path, creating a tight seal. Not for throttling
  11. 21. A rotating disk controls flow, compact, lightweight, for flow regulation in large pipes
  12. 22. Controls the flow
  13. 23. Another term for the pinching action
  14. 25. Feature a full bore, through-conduit design for pipeline pigging operations
Down
  1. 2. A flexible membrane pinches to control flow, ideal for corrosive or hygienic applications
  2. 3. Designed to regulate pressure
  3. 4. Restrictor valve narrows the fluid passage where precise speed control is necessary
  4. 6. Controls flow with a movable disc, excellent for regulating flow, but creates higher pressure drop.
  5. 7. Most common type of pressure valves in Hydraulic systems. Diverts excess fluid back to reservoir
  6. 11. Sometimes called a mushroom valves
  7. 12. works by pinching a flexible rubber sleeve (or tube) a7 is ideal for abrasive media
  8. 14. Used in low flow situations, feature a rotating ball with a hole, fast 1/4 turn for tight shut off
  9. 16. Similar to ball valves with tapered or cylindrical plug for quick, reliable shut off
  10. 20. Reduce incoming pressure from the power sources by pressure reducing
  11. 24. For emergency shutdowns. used for production, processing & transportation
