There are a variety of symbols that engineers and operators in the industry have to recognize and be aware of. These include industrial valve symbols. Knowing them enables a better understanding of the entire system and lays the foundation for proficient operation.
Both gate and globe valves are two of the most common valves used in the field of industrial piping systems. There are also many comparisons between these two types of valves. Both are members of the linear valve family, but with their different functions, they serve different applications. Understanding the differences between them will also help you choose the right valve.
