FAQ's Of Pressure Seal Globe Valve
1. What is a pressure seal globe valve? +
A pressure seal globe valve is a type of valve designed for high-pressure, high-temperature service where the bonnet seal tightens as internal pressure increases, enhancing leak protection.
2. Where are pressure seal globe valves commonly used? +
They are used in power plants, refineries, chemical processing units, and other high-pressure steam, gas, or fluid systems.
3. How does the pressure seal design work? +
The valve uses system pressure to force a metal seal into place, improving sealing performance as pressure rises, unlike traditional bolted bonnet valves.
4. What are the advantages over bolted bonnet valves?+
Pressure seal valves offer better sealing at high pressures, reduced maintenance needs, and a more compact, lightweight design.
5. What materials are used in pressure seal globe valves?+
Common materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steels depending on temperature, pressure, and media compatibility.
