A Plug Valve is a Globe Valve. Very generally speaking there are two major catagories of Industrial Process Control Valves, Sliding Stem and Rotary. Globe Bodies valves fall into the category of Sliding Stem Valves. Butterfly and Ball valves fall into the category of Rotary valves. However there are what is referred as Rotary Plug Valves, whereby a partial sphere has a shaft eccentrically mounted, that rotates into and out of a metal or composition seat acting as a plug. Most plug valves are sliding stem.

What is the difference between butt weld and socket weld?
A butt weld is a weld made between two straight cut profiles , a socket , or plug weld is made between a surface and a hole.
Why shouldn't a gate valve be used for regulating?
No. Gate valves are designed to be either completely open or completely closed. Regulating flow is best done with a globe or plug valve, or certain kinds of ball valves. A gate valve left partially open will eventually wear down so that it can never be completely closed.
What is a twist lock?
It is a type of plug/receptacle. Once you insert the plug, you can twist the plug to lock it in the receptacle.
What is this difference between static and dynamic compression in 5th grader terms?
Static or cranking compression pressure is what each cylinderexperiences when the starter motor is turning the engine or whenthe engine is running at idle RPM. Dynamic compression is measure with all plugs installed but one. The compression is measured at that one plug hole when the throttle is snapped open for a split second.
