I-valve iyingxenye yokulawula kusistimu yokudlulisa uketshezi, enemisebenzi yokunqamula, ukulawula, ukuphambukisa, ukuvimbela i-countercurrent, ukuqiniswa kwengcindezi, ukuphambukisa noma ukukhululeka kwengcindezi echichimayo.
I-valve esetshenziswa ohlelweni lokulawula uketshezi, kusukela ku-valve yokumisa elula kakhulu kuya ohlelweni lokulawula oluzenzakalelayo oluyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu, izinhlobo zayo kanye nokucaciswa kwayo kuhluke kakhulu.Amavaluvu angasetshenziswa ukulawula ukugeleza kwezinhlobo ezahlukene zoketshezi olunjengomoya, amanzi, isitimu, imidiya eyonakalisayo ehlukahlukene, udaka, uwoyela, insimbi ewuketshezi kanye nemidiya ekhipha imisebe.Ngokusho kokuqukethwe, i-valve iphinde ihlukaniswe ngama-valve ensimbi ensimbi, ama-valve ensimbi, ama-valve ensimbi engagqwali (201,304,316, njll.), ama-valve ensimbi e-chromium molybdenum, i-chromium molybdenum vanadium steel valves, ama-valve ensimbi anezigaba ezimbili, ama-valve epulasitiki, ama-non -ama-valve enziwe ngokwezifiso ajwayelekile, njll.
