	To select a valve one must know a lot more about the application. This information would help, but may not be sufficient: What material flows through it? What is the material's flow rate, temperature, density, etc. ("Flux" has too many possible meanings.) What is the system in whic it is installed? What is the purpose of that system? What is the purpose of the valve? Isolation? Control? How quickly does it need to shut or open? What is the material and size and rating of the pipe in which it will be installed? Answer these questions and you will on your way to knowing what kind of valve is needed. Identifying this valve means deciding its type, size, material, construction, special material requirements, interface requirements and much more. It is not necessarily complex, but it could be. It wouold be best to just get an engineer or even a local distributor's reppresentative to look at it. __________________ “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities.
