A control valve is a type of valve used to regulate the flow or pressure of a medium. Since the flow or pressure of the medium affects certain control processes, control valves are typically operated by remote signals from independent devices such as electric, pneumatic, or pneumatic-hydraulic actuators.
Control valves are characterized by their ability to achieve control by altering the internal flow path or the cross-sectional area of the valve orifice.
