How Can a Check Valve Truly Prevent Water Hammer in Your Piping System

The real question we often get asked is, what is the root cause and how can it be stopped. Having reviewed countless technical documents and case studies, I can tell you that a properly selected and installed check valve is not just a part of the solution—it's often the most critical one.

Are Butterfly Valves Truly Capable of Handling High-Pressure Scenarios

I have been in this industry for a long time, and if I had a dollar for every time a client asked me this question, I would have retired years ago. It is a fundamental question, born from a mix of skepticism and necessity. Many engineers and plant managers carry a deeply ingrained belief that Butter......

Why Is a Gate Valve Not Suitable for Throttling Flow

At LYV®, we engineer our valves with a clear understanding of their intended application. Our isolation Gate Valves are built to perform one job perfectly: providing a bubble-tight seal in the closed position and minimal flow resistance in the open position.

What Industries Rely on Globe Valves for Their Critical Operations

The truth is, you’ll find a well-engineered Globe Valve at the heart of countless processes where control, reliability, and safety are non-negotiable. But why is this specific valve design so ubiquitous?

How Does A Resilient Seated Gate Valve Function

Have you ever wondered what makes certain water systems so reliable while others constantly face leakage issues? As someone who has worked with fluid control systems for over two decades, I’ve seen firsthand how the right Gate Valve can transform operational efficiency. Today, I want to break down e......

Can A Gate Valve Be Used For Throttling Flow In Pipeline Systems

When clients ask us whether a gate valve is suitable for throttling flow, our answer is always straightforward: it’s not recommended. Having designed and supplied valves for industrial systems over the past two decades, we’ve seen firsthand the consequences of using valves in ways they weren’t engin......
