( Valves)
For other uses, see Valve (disambiguation). For the electronic component, see Thermionic valve. For the game development company see Valve Corporation. A valve is a device that regulates the flow of a fluid (gases, fluidized solids, slurries, or liquids) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. Valves are technically pipe fittings, but are usually discussed separately. Valves are also found in the human body. For example there are several which control the flow of blood in the chambers of the heart and maintain the correct pumping action (see heart valve article). Valves are used in a variety of applications including industrial, military, commercial, residential, and transportation.
