Urugero rwambere rusa naumupira wamaguruni valve yatanzwe na John Warren mu 1871. Ni icyuma cyicaye cyuma gifite umupira wumuringa nintebe yumuringa. Amaherezo Warren yahaye ipatanti igishushanyo mbonera cy’umuringa John Chapman, umuyobozi wa Chapman Valve. Impamvu yaba imeze ite, Chapman ntiyigeze ashyira igishushanyo cya Warren mubikorwa. Ahubwo, we hamwe nabandi bakora valve bakoresheje ibishushanyo bishaje imyaka myinshi.

Imipira yumupira, izwi kandi kwizina rya ball cock, amaherezo yagize uruhare mugihe cyintambara ya kabiri yisi yose. Muri kiriya gihe, injeniyeri yateje imbere kugirango ikoreshwe muri sisitemu yindege ya gisirikare. Nyuma yo gutsinda kwaimipiramu Ntambara ya Kabiri y'Isi Yose, abajenjeri bakoresheje imipira y’imipira ikoreshwa mu nganda.

Kimwe mu bintu byingenzi byagezweho bijyanye n’imipira y’umupira mu myaka ya za 1950 ni iterambere rya Teflon no kuyikoresha nyuma nkibikoresho byumupira. Nyuma yiterambere ryiza rya Teflon, ibigo byinshi nka DuPont byaharaniye uburenganzira bwo kubikoresha, kuko bari bazi ko Teflon ishobora kuzana inyungu nini kumasoko. Amaherezo, isosiyete irenze imwe yashoboye gukora valve ya Teflon. Teflon imipira yumupira iroroshye kandi irashobora gushiraho kashe nziza mubyerekezo bibiri. Muyandi magambo, ni ibyerekezo byombi. Nibimenyetso bifatika. Mu 1958, Howard Freeman niwe wakoze uruganda rwa mbere rwashizeho umupira wumupira ufite intebe yoroheje ya Teflon, kandi igishushanyo cye cyahawe patenti.

Uyu munsi, imipira yumupira yatunganijwe muburyo bwinshi, harimo guhuza ibikoresho hamwe nibishoboka. Mubyongeyeho, barashobora gukoresha imashini ya CNC hamwe na progaramu ya mudasobwa (nka moderi ya Button) kugirango bakore valve nziza. Vuba, abakora imipira ya valve bazashobora gutanga amahitamo menshi kubicuruzwa byabo, harimo kubaka aluminiyumu, kwambara gake hamwe nubushobozi bwagutse bwo gutereta, butuma abashoramari banyuza amazi atandukanye muri valve kumuvuduko muke.

Porogaramu

Intego yumupira wumupira nugutunganya amazi. Barashobora kubikora muburyo bwinshi. Barashobora guhindura ubwoko bumwebumwe bwibikoresho bito bito, bagatanga uburyo bwo kwirinda gusubira inyuma kububiko hamwe ninteko yo kugenzura swing, gutandukanya sisitemu, no gutanga ifungwa ryuzuye kubakoresha ibikoresho.

Kuberako zishobora kugenzurwa nintoki cyangwa amashanyarazi, imipira yumupira irashobora gutanga porogaramu hamwe nuburyo butandukanye.

Mu bihe byinshi, imipira yumupira ikoreshwa mugukingura no gufunga imiyoboro irimo ibintu byahagaritswe, ibishishwa, amazi cyangwa gaze. Ibindi bikorwa aho imipira ikoreshwa cyane harimo sisitemu yo kuvoma, ibikoresho, nibikoresho hafi yinganda zose zitwara amazi. Urashobora kubasanga ahantu hose kuva hasi kuruganda kugeza kuri robine murugo rwawe. Inganda zikoreshaimipiraharimo gukora, ubucukuzi, peteroli na gaze, ubuhinzi, gushyushya no gukonjesha, imiyoboro yinganda ningo, amazi, ibicuruzwa byabaguzi, ubwubatsi, nibindi
