Function of a 2 Way Control Valve
● Regulates flow in one direction 
(unlike some multi-directional 
valves).
● Opens or closes based on 
external signals (pressure 
sensors, control systems).
● Actuators (pneumatic, electric, 
hydraulic) adjust valve position 
based on signal.
Diverse Types of 2 Way Control Valves
Globe Valve: Widely used, precise flow control 
across a wide range.
Ball Valve: Simple operation, quick on/off control.
Butterfly Valve: Compact, easy to operate, less 
precise control than globe valves.
Diaphragm Valve: Handles corrosive/abrasive fluids, good 
flow control.
Widespread Applications of 2 
Way Control Valves
● HVAC Systems: Regulate water flow for temperature 
control.
● Process Industries: Precise flow control in reactors, 
pipelines, etc.
● Power Generation: Manage water/steam flow for 
efficient power generation.
● Water Treatment: Control chemical dosing, filter 
backwashing, flow rates.
Selecting the Right 2 Way Control Valve
● Fluid Type: Material 
compatibility (corrosion, 
abrasion, temperature).
● Pressure & Flow Rate: Valve 
rating must match system 
requirements.
● Controllability: Precise flow 
control (globe valve) vs. quick 
on/off (ball valve).
Conclusion
● Understanding functions, types, and applications 
empowers engineers.
● Selecting the right 2 way control valve ensures efficient, 
safe, and well-regulated operations.
