Our designs are specially made to give a high degree of reliability, sustainability, durability, and the highest standards in the entire production process.

What is a Bellow Seal Valve?

Pipelines are getting progressively congested with combustible, dangerous, severely poisonous, and toxic media as new industries emerge, such as the chemical and nuclear industries. As a result, there is a significant risk of leakage, explosion, and health concerns. As a result, the valves that are utilized in these pipes and systems must meet specific leakage and sealing requirements.

A Bellow Sealed Valve, also known as a 'Zero-Leak Valve' or an 'Emission Free Valve,' is a specially engineered industrial valve that was developed in response to the need for a completely new way to provide the necessary sealing for use in industries that deal with toxic media, where even minor leaks can be disastrous.

A metallic bellow cartridge is attached to the valve bonnet on one end and the stem on the other end of these valves and it adds to the usual gland packing. A bellow is a metal tube that looks like an accordion. The bellow cartridge contains a number of convolutions, which are compressed or expanded depending on the movement of the valve stem. When the valve is in the open position, the bellow is compressed, and when the valve is in the closed position, the bellow is expanded. The process fluid cannot pass through any sliding or rotating seals. The fluid will enter the valve through the seat of the valve and make contact with the bellow, but not with the stem.

How does a Bellow Seal Globe Valve work?

The key part of a Bellow Seal Globe valve is the metal bellows. 

A Bellow Seal Globe Valve is a control valve with a compact structure that uses bellow to seal the valve stem components. It has a bellow within and the lower end of the stainless-steel bellows is welded to the stem to keep the system fluid from eroding it. To produce a permanent seal, the other end is positioned between the body of the valve and the cover of the valve. This double seal construction ensures zero leakage, as the stem packaging will prevent additional leakage even if the bellows collapse. The bellows are welded to the valve stem to guarantee consistent working efficiency and to avoid valve stem vibration caused by valve insert movement.

Advantages of Bellow Seal Globe Valve:

It is designed with a double seal (bellows + packing). As a result, even if the bellows fail, the stem packing will prevent any leakage and ensure that the seal meets international standards. It reduces medium fluid loss and promotes safety and environmental protection. It has the potential to be an energy saver because it helps to reduce energy losses due to leakage. It has a good valve life. The cost of operation and maintenance is significantly decreased. It ensures that there is no leaking from the valve stem, allowing for maintenance-free operation.

Applications of Bellow Seal Globe Valve:

SVR Global is a proud Bellow Seal Globe Valve Manufacturer in USA that has the following applications-

Services for high-temperature environmentsSwitching and high-cycle servicesValves for emergency shutoffPressure protection system with high integrityOxygen, nitrogen, or hydrogen at high pressureHandling solids (powders, fines, dust, and catalysts)Polyethylene or polypropylene is a type of plastic.Gasification and coal conversionThermodynamic fluidsSystems for separating, filtering, and dryingStations for compressorsIsolation service with on/off switchManifolds for oil and gasHeat Transfer media.. hot oil is commonly used in industries such as synthetic fibers / POY (Partially Oriented Yarn). However, there is always a risk of fire due to hot oil spillage on highly inflammable chemicals. Here, bellow seal Valves can stop the leakage.Vacuum/ultra high vacuum.. some applications require a vacuum pump to continually extract air from a pipeline. Any conventional Valves installed on the pipeline can allow external air to enter the pipeline through the Valve stuffing box. Hence the bellow seal Valve is the only solution to prevent air from passing through the stuffing box.Highly hazardous fluids.. for media such as chlorine, hydrogen, ammonia and phosgene, the bellow seal Valve is an ideal design as leakage through the gland is totally eliminated.Nuclear plant, heavy water plant.. in instances where radiation leakage is to be prevented at all times, the bellow seal Valve is the ultimate choice.Costly fluids.. in some applications leaks need to be avoided simply because of the high cost of the fluid. Here, an economic assessment often favors the use of bellow seal Valves.Environmental standards.. around the world, standards regarding emissions and the environment are getting more stringent day by day. It can therefore be difficult for companies to expand within existing premises. With the use of bellow seal Valves, expansion without additional environmental damage is possible.

What is a Globe Valve?

A globe valve is most commonly used in systems to open, close or throttle flow. 

It is named after its globular body. A globe valve has two halves of the body being separated by an internal baffle. It has a disc (ball, composition or plug) attached to a stem that swings up and down to control flow and a seat. The flow line is either parallel to or inclined towards the seats. It stops the flow of fluid by moving the disc against the flow stream. 

A globe valve is bi-directional, meaning the fluid can flow in either direction within the valve. It can be used both manually as well as automatically.

Applications of Globe Valves:

SVR Global is a proud Globe Valve Manufacturer in USA that has applications such as-

Used in low-point drains and high-point ventsWater-cooling systems.Fuel oil systemPumps and compressors.Feedwater, condenser air, chemical feedFound in extraction drains and condensing air extraction systems.Plumbing sector.Applications for SteamPiping in small sizesSuitable for systems requiring frequent stroking, vacuum, or a wide variety of temperature extremes.Used in systems where flow control is requiredUsed in systems where leak tightness is importantUsed in systems where pressure drop is not an issueUsed as an Emergency shutdown valve

Advantages of Globe Valves:

Excellent sealing ability.Fast operation due to shorter stroke lengthSeats are easy to machine and resurface.By significantly altering the design, it can be utilized as a stop-check valve.Suitable for high-pressure systems.Controlled precisionFast-actingHas excellent closure ability.Great and precise throttling ability.Bubble tight shut-offGood for frequent operation as no fear of wear of seat and discEasy to repair as seat and disc can be accessed from the valve topUsed for corrosive or highly viscous fluids which solidify at room temperatureEasy to maintainGood for frequent operation

Disadvantages of Globe Valves:

Due to numerous directional shifts, high pressure drops.To seat the valve, more power is required.Under the seat- throttling flow and over the seat- shutoff flow.Low-flow coefficientsLonger operating time Complex design Large disc assembly openingHeavierThe disc is mounted to the stem in a cantilevered position.Not suitable for sterile or clean applications.A large pressure drop can be caused by obstructions and discontinuities.Internal trim parts in large high-pressure pipes can be damaged by pulsations and shocks.Greater power is required to open and create noise during operation.Can only be installed in one direction (arrow mentioned on the valve)High head loss from two or more right-angle turns of flowing fluid  through the valve bodyExpensiveSusceptible to Cavitation and flow-induced vibrations.Not recommended to use in large diameter pipingHigh torque
