The fact that an ISO valve is NOT a throttling valve is why an "intermediate" position does not have a big impact on its operation. Also, this discussion was NEVER what is good for the valve. It was about the operational ramifications of how it was operated. Also, I have never suggested that an isolator SHOULD be partially opened or closed. I only discussed the impact of that. And if it makes you feel better about yourself to think you "have forgotten more about valves than I will ever know"... then go ahead. dsmith218@ho*.co* ICQ# 25409809 Moderation is for the poor, and the healthy...of which I am neither. - Polver -----Original Message----- From: Okuwe@ao*.co* [mailto:Okuwe@ao*.co*] Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2001 2:58 AM To: techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: Re: A Stroke is a stroke was RE: Isolating Manifold Question I will, David, it is obvious that you don't know very much about valves at all. "A valve is either open or it is closed." This is not true. There are many different types of valves. I have been in the oil and gas industry for 19 years and have forgotten more about valves than you will ever know. By its simple design an ISO valve is designed to be either fully open or fully closed. IT IS NOT A THROTTLING VALVE. And could be damaged by being partially open or closed as you suggest. READ & STUDY...........VALVES 101 You need to get back to the books and do some more studying and stay off of the net until you know what you are talking about.
