Festo Valves

Festo valves can be used for a variety of tasks and are a great assistance to people. A valve is a device that is especially made to direct the flow of fluids, gases, or solids by opening and closing. They can also partially block the openings to increase or decrease the pressure of whatever is flowing out of them. 

These valves can be controlled by electrical or manual switches like levers, pedals, and handles and are commonly used everyone everyday even though they might not know it. You use a valve whenever you turn on a faucet, or use a washing machine, or cooking on gas stoves. It is amazing how many different uses they have in people’s personal lives. They are also depended upon in many companies and corporations to do their jobs. They can be made of several different types of bodies such as plastic, brass, cast iron, steel, and bronze are the most common.

 

There are even valves involved with people’s health. For example our bodies have natural valves in our hearts to control the flow of blood and keep them pumping correctly. You never think about the fact that we have valves keeping us alive.

Festo has been manufacturing these valves for over 20 years. They have a large variety to choose from such as electrical valves, manual valves, electromagnetic valves, pneumatic valves etc. Festo valves have a good reputation and they make all kinds of them for every purpose you can think of.

You can find valves pretty much anywhere. They can almost always be found in any industrial company ranging from sewage and water plants, to food manufacturing. They are also used for processing oil and petroleum to create gas and fuel. They can be found working with farmers helping to irrigate their fields. They are also commonly used in the military believe it or not. Valves can also be automatic which are triggered by temperature, flow, or pressure. The uses and benefits of these devices are endless.

Festo valves can vary in prices and sizes. It all depends on what the valve will be used for. There are disposable ones but also very expensive valves that can cost thousands of dollars per inch of the diameter! However others can be found quite cheap in common places like hardware stores for only a few bucks. For example if you just looking for a valve for your backyard hose, chances are you won’t have to pay a thousand dollars. Valves are mostly rated by their performance over years and their maximum temperature and pressure. Before buying one make sure to check these things if it will be used for something important like gas on the stove. A badly manufactured valve can be dangerous to you or others.

It is incredible how much our society depends on such a device. Just think without them there would be no showering, no brushing your teeth, no cooking by gas, no using hoses, and probably most important, no flushing your toilet! Sounds terrible without them already which is why we have companies like Festo to thank for the way we live today.
