A stopcock is a valve designed to control or halt the flow of fluids.
Stopcocks are categorized into manual and automatic types. Manual stopcocks are operated by physically turning a handle or lever, making them ideal for straightforward piping systems and emergency scenarios. Automatic stopcocks, in contrast, are operated by sensors or control systems, enabling their use in industrial processes and automated systems where consistent and efficient control is necessary.
Stopcocks are widely used in piping and fluid control systems, as well as in various industrial processes, to manage the flow of liquids or gases effectively. They can function as blockers which are operated either manually or automatically. When dealing with corrosive fluids or high-temperature conditions, it is crucial to use materials compatible with these specific circumstances.
