Appendages

What are appendages?

Piping components (appendages) are the functional elements in piping systems that keep media flowing safely and efficiently. They provide shut-off, measurement, control and protection for water, steam, gases and process liquids. On this page you’ll find an overview of functions, common types, selection criteria, standards and real-world applications, plus an extensive FAQ with practical selection and installation tips.


Looking for parts for new builds or maintenance? Ebora supplies a complete range: ball valves, butterfly valves, gate valves, diaphragm valves, pressure regulators/reducers, check valves, flow meters, pressure gauges, filters/strainers, steam traps and safety/relief valves.

Functions of Piping Components (Appendages)

Appendages perform four core functions in installations. Below you’ll find a brief explanation per function with examples and internal links.


Shut-off

Shut-off valves start or stop the flow and let you safely isolate sections for maintenance or emergencies. Examples: ball valves (fast quarter-turn), butterfly valves (low pressure drop on large diameters), gate valves (full bore), needle and globe valves (fine control).


Measurement

Measuring appendages give real-time insight into process conditions. Think of pressure gauges (pressure), temperature sensors and flow meters. Together these fall under instrumentation for monitoring, logging and control via PLC/SCADA.


Control

Control appendages (e.g., pressure reducing/pressure control valves, proportional and motorised valves) stabilise pressure, temperature and flow and prevent fluctuations. With positioners and IO-Link/4–20 mA you can integrate easily into your control system.


Protection

Safety valves, check valves and relief valves protect against overpressure and unwanted backflow. In steam and gas systems, steam traps and flame arresters/safety devices prevent hazardous situations and production losses.
