What Is a Bellows Type Steel Globe Valve?
-
Definition
A Bellows Type Steel Globe Valve is a globe valve designed with a bellows seal structure instead of a conventional packing seal. This design ensures complete leak prevention, especially in systems operating under high pressure, high temperature, or containing hazardous liquids and steam.
-
Structure of a Bellows Type Globe Valve
-
Body: Made from carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel, capable of withstanding high temperature and pressure.
-
Bonnet: Houses the bellows seal mechanism.
-
Bellows Seal: Made from stainless steel (SS304, SS316L), capable of expanding and contracting to ensure absolute sealing.
-
Stem: Connects the valve disc and controls the opening/closing of the flow.
-
Disc: Regulates the flow of liquid or steam in the system.
-
Handwheel: Used to manually open or close the valve.
-
Advantages of Bellows Type Globe Valves
-
Absolute Leak Prevention: The bellows seal design completely prevents medium leakage to the outside.
-
Long Service Life: The bellows are designed to withstand thousands of open/close cycles, extending valve life.
-
High Temperature and Pressure Resistance: Suitable for steam, hot oil, compressed air, and chemical systems.
-
Reduced Maintenance Costs: No need for frequent replacement of packing seals like conventional globe valves.
-
Compliance with Safety Standards: Especially important in industries requiring high sealing performance, such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and oil & gas.
-
Applications of Bellows Type Globe Valves
-
Steam Systems: Power plants, industrial boilers.
-
Oil & Gas and Chemical Industries: Piping systems carrying hazardous and toxic media.
-
Pharmaceutical and Food Industries: Saturated steam systems, purified water systems.
-
Central Heating and HVAC Systems: Controlling the flow of hot water or thermal oil.
-
Common Standards and Notable Manufacturers
-
Design Standards: API 602, ANSI B16.34, DIN, JIS.
-
Popular Brands: KSB (Germany), ETM (China).
