 Valves are the devices,
which are used for regulating the flow of fluids or liquids. These
are basically pipe fittings that have multiple applications. They
are used in industrial, commercial, military, automobiles and
residential establishments. Valves can be found in bicycle tires,
water pipes and engines. Valves of varied sizes and dimensions are
used in almost all types of cars, trucks, aircraft, two wheelers and
tractors. Valves used in automobiles can be made from variety of raw
materials like stainless steel, brass, copper, galvanized iron,
carbon steel, caste steel, aluminum, and bronze. A typical
automobile valve size starts from fractions of an inch to 25 to 30
feet in diameter. A typical automotive valve generally comprises of
two valves namely intake and exhaust valves, which are used for
letting air and fuel mixture in and out from the engine cylinder. It

Check Valve Often called as self
activating valves, these devices are used for directing the mixture
of gases and liquid to flow in only a single direction thereby
preventing process flow from getting reversed. Acetal polymers,
aluminum, brass, bronze, cast iron, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride,
ductile iron, copper, polytetrafluoroethylen, polyvinyl chloride,
polyvinylidene fluoride, polyethylene, polypropylene, rubber, steel,
or stainless steel are used for making check valves used in almost
all types of automobiles.
