Federal supply group 48 belongs to powered and non-powered valves. Powered valves are those that include hydraulically operated, electrically operated, and solenoid operated mechanisms. Non powered valves include gate valves, globe valves, angle valves, check valves, relief valves, and stop cocks. Common manufacturers would be Parker, Alfa Laval, Cameron, Asco, Harold Beck & Sons, Inc., and Bernard Controls, Inc.
Valves are used to control, direct, and regulate fluids like fuels and gases. They are often used to hold a pressurized fluid in an area of high pressure from flowing to a lower pressure. Your simplest valves are stop cocks and ball valves, which passively prevent fluids from flowing in a reverse direction. Pressure will open the valves and allow fluids through but only in a single direction.
The Federal Supply Codes within group 48 that we supply include:
Powered and mechanized valves are used to control fluids at extremely high pressures. You can find valves inside the Oroville Dam and you can also find them under your kitchen sink. Valves are extremely useful to nearly every industry, which warrants their own category in the Federal Supply Classification.
