Valves exceed any other piping component.Estimates reveal that a substantial portion,
approximately 8-10%, of the total capitalexpenditure of the chemical process industry is
used for the procurement of valves. In termsof the number of units also. Hence,
properthought should be given for the selection of valves. The first step in the selection is
to determine exactly what function the valve is expected to perform after it has been
installed.

The valves can further be classifiedbased on the end connections. End connection means
the arrangement or attachment of the valves to the equipment or to the piping. The types
of
end connections are:
Screwed ends.
Socket weld ends
Flanged ends
Butt weld ends
Sockettedends
Wafer type ends
3. Based on th e materi al s of con stru cti on :
The valves could also be classifiedbased on the materials of construction. There can be
anynumber of combinations possible with the materials of construction. It is for the
pipingengineer to select the same in consultation with the process engineer to suit the
process fluid.
The environment in which the valves are installed is also to be considered for selection
ofmaterials of construction. However, the most commonly available materials are:
Cast Iron
Bronze
Gun metal
Carbon Steel
Stainless Steel
Alloy Carbon Steel
Poly Propylene UHMW-PE,UHMW-HDPE etc
Special Alloys
Body could also be lined with elastomer so that process fluid will not be in contact with
themetal.
The valve could also be classified based on the type of construction. Valve manufacturers
offer endless varieties of construction. Based on the operation, valves can be broadly
classified as operated valves and self-operated valves. Mainly the check valves are selfoperated and all other types come under operated valves.
