| | Basics | | Basics of Stainless Steel Valves, Fittings, Flanges & Tubing | | | | | | Valves are control devices used to regulate fluid handling systems. | | 
| Starting & stopping flow (ball, butterfly, gate & plug valves). | |
| Regulations flow or throttling (butterfly & globe valves). | |
| Prevent backflow (check valves). | |
| Alleviating & regulating pressure (relief valves). |
|
| | | Fittings are connections for joining pipe, altering direction, reducing size of flow, closing flow and draining. | | | Flanges are stainless steel rings designed to join two sections of pipe by bolting, screwing or welding (to a valve, vessel, pump, fitting or pipe sections). | | 
| Tube is hollow pipe, it's principal purpose is to transport materials. |

| Reasons For Using Stainless Steel Products | | | | |
| Hygiene Cleanliness Is Maintained in the Product Being Transported. | | | Sanitation Prevention of Contamination of that Product From Small Particles or Rust & Scale. | | | Anti-Corrosion Resists Caustic Attack From Industrial and Chemical Solutions or Mixtures. | |
| Strength Greater Strength at Elevated Temperatures. | | | Cryogenic Service (Greater Mechanical Properties at Sub-Zero Temperatures). | |
| Cosmetic Retains Lustrous Appearance Indefinitely. |
| | Usage | Used extensively within the food and beverage process industry, petrochemical plants, refineries, pharmaceutical industries, power generation, pulp & paper mills, marine, water & sewage treatments plants etc.
