1.1. Valve
Valves are mechanical devices specifically designed to direct, start, stop, mix, or regulate the flow, pressure, or temperature of a process fluid.
Berdasarkan atas fungsinya, aplikasinya, dan rancangannya, valve dapat dibedakan ke dalam beragam kelas styles, sizes, dan ragam pressure. Tipe yang umum ditemukan adalah plug, ball, globe,
butterfly, dan gate valves.
Valve dapat dibuat dari berbagai material seperti: steel, iron, plastic, brass, atau sejumlah material paduan khusus lainnya.

• The internal
elements of a valve are collectively referred to as a valve's trim. • The trim typically
includes a disc,
seat, stem, and sleeves needed to
guide the stem. • A valve's performa
nce is determined by the disk and seat interface and the relation of the disk position to the seat.

1.2 Klasifikasi Menurut Fungsinya
Berdasarkan atas rancangan dan fungsi valve inhandling the fluid, valve dapat dibagi ke dalam 3 kelompok: on-off valves, non-return valves, and throttling valves.
On-off valves: handle the function of blocking the flow or allowing it to pass.
Non-return valves: allow one direction flow only. Throttling valve: allow for regulation of the flow at
any point between fully open to fully closed.
One confusing aspect of defining valves by function and its specific valve-body design (plug, ball, globe, gate, butterfly, pinch, etc.)

1. On-off Valves
Terkadang juga disebut sebagai block valve.
Kelompok valve ini yang umum dijumpai: gate, plug, ball, pressure relief, dan tank-bottom valves.
Jenis on-off valve umumnya hand-operated, walaupun dapat diotomasi dengan tambahan aktuator.
Pressure-relief valves adalah self-actuated on-off valves yang dapat terbuka hanya jika preset pressure dilampaui (mencegah over pressuration).
Pressure-relief valves dibagi menjadi 2: Relief valves, untuk aplikasi pada fluida cair dan safety valves, untuk aplikasi pada fluida gas.

2. Non-return Valves
Nonreturn valves memungkinkan fluida untuk
mengalir ke suatu arah yang diinginkan (hanya satu arah saja).
Semua check valves termasuk ke dalam kelompok nonreturn valves.
Valve jenis ini digunakan untuk mencegah terjadinya backflow yang tidak diinginkan.
Contoh aplikasi: untuk melindungi instalasi pompa atau kompresor dari backflow saat shut down.
Nonreturn valves juga digunakan dalam sistem proses dengan variasi tekanan yang harus dijaga secara terpisah.

3. Throttling Valves
Valve jenis ini digunakan untuk mengatur aliran, temperatur, atau tekanan.
Operasi throttling valves: manual (handwheel or lever) atau dengan kontrol otomatis, Gbr. 13(a). Pressure regulators adalah throttling valve yang
memvariasikan posisi valve untuk menjaga tekanan di hilir valve tetap konstan, Gbr. 13(b)
Automatic control valves atau control valves is a term commonly used to describe valves that capable of varying flow conditions to match the process requirements Î dilengkapi dengan actuator.

1.3 Klasifikasi Menurut Aplikasinya
Tiga klasifikasi valve menurut aplikasinya: generalservice valve, special service valves, dan severe service valves.
General service valves: valve yang dapat digunakan pada banyak aplikasi tanpa perlu modifikasi.
Special service valves: valve yang dirancang khusus untuk aplikasi tertentu/spesifik.
Severe service valves: valve yang dirancang khusus untuk mencegah efek samping pada aplikasi yang sulit.
Ch. I – Introduction to Valves
1. General Service Valves
Termasuk ke dalam kelompok ini adalah valve yang dirancang untuk mayoritas aplikasi yang umum:
• Lower-pressure: ANSI Class 150 s/d 600. • Moderate-temperature rating: -50oF s/d 650oF. • Non-corrosive fluid
• Common pressure drop yang tidak menyebabkan kavitasi atau flashing.
Dalam perancangannya, valve tipe ini dibuat dengan level interchangeability dan flexibility yang tinggi sehingga memiliki rentang aplikasi yang lebar. Material body: baja karbon atau baja tahan karat.

2. Special Service Valves
Special service valves is a term used for custom-engineered valves that are designed for a single application that is outside normal process application. Valve jenis ini biasanya untuk aplikasi pada
temperatur tertentu, tekanan tinggi, atau medium yang korosif.
Gbr. 15 memperlihatkan contoh sebuah control valve yang dirancang dengan “sweep-style body dan trim dari keramik untuk aplikasi yang erosif dengan pasir dan tekanan yang tinggi.

3. Severe Service Valves
Severe service valves are valves equipped with special features to handle volatile applications, such as high pressure drops that result in severe
cavitation, flashing, choking, or high noise levels. Pada kondisi tertentu sering dibutuhkan special
actuation untuk mengatasi gaya yang terjadi.
Gbr. 16 shows severe service valve to handle 1100oF
(593oC) liquid-sodium application with multistage trim
to handle a high pressure drop and a bonnet with special cooling fins.
The electro-hydraulic actuator is capable of producing almost 89 ton of thrust.

1.4 Klasifikasi Menurut Gerakan
Some users classify valves according to themechanical motion of the valve: linear or rotary. Linear valves are known for their simple design, easy
maintenance, and flexibility with more size, pressure class, and design options than other motion
classification Îthe most common type of valves. Linear-motion valves (linear valves) memiliki
rancangan sliding-stem yang mendorong “closure element” saat valve membuka atau menutup.
Gate, globe, pinch, diaphragm, split-body, three-way, and angle valves semuanya masuk ke dalam
23
Training on Valve Technology
Rotary-motion valves (rotary valves) use a closure element that rotates-through a quarter-turn or 90o
range-to open and close the flow.
Rotary valves are usually smaller in size and weigh less than comparable linear valves.
The applications is limited to certain pressure drops and are prone to cavitation and flashing problem. As rotary-valve designs have matured, they have
overcome these inherent limitations and now being used at an increasing rate.
Ball, plug, butterfly valves semuanya masuk ke dalam kategori rotary-motion valves.
Ch. I – Introduction to Valves
1.5 Klasifikasi Menurut Port Size
Valves with internal flow equal to the full area of the inlet port.
Jenis ini utamanya digunakan sebagai on-off and blocking service valves, dimana aliran harus distop atau dialihkan.
Full-port valves memungkinkan penggunaan pig dalam pipeline.
The pig is a self-driven (or flow-driven) mechanism designed to clean the inside of the pipeline and to remove any process buildup or scale.
25
Training on Valve Technology Reduced-port valves are those whose closure
elements restrict the flow (area of closure element is less then the area of the inside diameter of pipeline.) Pembatasan aliran menyebabkan terjadinya pressure
drop saat aliran melewati closure element dan sebagian tekanan dapat direcovery setelahnya. The primary purpose of reduced-port valves is to
control the flow through reduced flow or throttling, which is defined as regulating the closure element to provide varying levels of flow at a certain opening of the valve.

1.6 Common Piping Nomenclature
Valve and piping nomenclature has been heavily influenced by imperial system (ANSI standards).
The psi is used to refer to pressure and NPS to refer to valve and pipe size (in inches across the pipe’s inside diameter.
In many countries, outside of the USA, valve and piping nomenclature is based on the International System of Units (metric system) from ISO.
Typically metric valve measurement are called out in millimeter and pressure are noted in kilopascal (kPa) (or bar).
ISO standards refer to pipe diameter as nominal diameter (DN) and pressure rating as nominal pressure (PN).
Tables 1 and table 2 provide quick reference for both ANSI and ISO standards.
