Valve flushing is a process of cleaning the internal parts of a valve to remove any debris or contaminants that may be causing it to malfunction. 

There are a variety of methods that can be used to flush valves, including: 

• Pneumatic flushing: Pneumatic flushing uses compressed air to blow debris out of the valve. 

• Chemical flushing: Chemical flushing uses a solvent to dissolve debris and contaminants. 

• Hydrostatic flushing: Hydrostatic flushing uses water pressure to flush debris out of the valve. 

The method used to flush a valve will depend on the type of valve and the severity of the contamination. 

Valve greasing is a process of lubricating the moving parts of a valve to reduce friction and wear, and to improve the performance. 

There are a variety of greases that can be used to lubricate valves, including: 

• Lithium grease: Lithium grease is a general-purpose grease that is suitable for most applications. 

• Molybdenum disulfide grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is a high-performance grease that is used in applications where high temperatures or extreme pressures are present. 

• Graphite grease: Graphite grease is a water-resistant grease that is used in applications where there is a risk of corrosion. 

The type of grease used to lubricate a valve will depend on the type of valve and the operating conditions. 

Valve flushing and greasing are important maintenance procedures that can help to extend the lifespan of valves and improve their performance.
