List the main features of Globe Valve

What is Globe Valve? A globe valve is a linear motion valve used to stop, start, and regulate
the fluid flow. The globe valve disk can be removed entirely from the flow path, or it can
completely close the flow path. During opening and closing of globe valve, disc moves
perpendicularly to the seat. This movement creates the annular space between the disk and
seat ring that gradually close as the valve closed. This characteristic provides the globe valve
good throttling ability required for regulating the flow.

Globe Valve Disk Types

Globe valve is available in may different types of disc arrangement. Most used disk designs are
listed below.

1. Ball Type
2. Needle Type
3. Composite type

Ball disk design is used in low-pressure and low-temperature systems. It is capable of throttling

flow, but in principle, it is used to stop and start the flow.

Needle disk design provides better throttling as compared to ball or composition disk design. A
wide verity of long and tapered plug disks are available to suit different flow conditions.

Composition disk is used to achieve better shutoff. A hard, non-metallic insert ring is used in
composition disk design.

Application of Globe valve

Globe Valves are used in the systems where flow control is required and leak tightness is also
important.

 It used in high-point vents and low-point drains when leak tightness and safety are major
concerns. Otherwise, you can use gate valve for drain and vent.
 It can be used in Feed-water, chemical, air, lube oil and almost all services where
pressure drop is not an issue
  This valve is also used as an automatic control valve, but in that case, the stem of the
valve is a smooth stem rather than threaded and are opened and closed by lifting action
of an actuator assembly.

Globe Valve Advantage

 Better shut off as compared to gate valve

 Good for frequent operation as no fear of wear of seat and disk
 Easy to repair, as seat and disk can be accesse from the valve top
 Fast operation compares to gate valve due to shorter stroke length
 Usually operated by automatic actuator

Differentiate between a screw lift valve, a screw down non-return valve .

SCREW LIFT VALVE

-The branch suction pipe shall be fitted with a screw lift valve and means to prevent the
cargo hold from being inadvertently filled from the sea.

Screw down non-return valve

-The Screw Down Non Return Valve (SDNR valve), has the function of stop and non
return.The SDNR valve has the same appearance and structure with the globe valve except the
disc. The SDNR valve’s stem and disc are separated, when stem screw down, stem work on the
disc and close the valve. But when stem screw up, the stem will leave the disc and can not take
the disc away, so the left disc will stay there and have the function of non return.

Point out the main feature of a gate valve.

- Gate valves are more commonly used in refineries and petrochemicalplants where

pressure remains relatively low, but temperature may be very high. Gate valves are used less in
upstream oil and gas production facilities due to high operating pressures, long opening/closing
times, and severe environmental conditions when operating in marine atmospheres.
The gate valve is a block valve. Due to its design, it cannot control flow; even at the beginning of
opening, erosion of the seat and disk occurs, resulting in the destruction of the tight faces.

Describe a typical relief valve

Relief valves provide overpressure protection for semiconductor gas systems. Most relief valves

have a poppet valve seat that is backed by a spring that opposes the gas pressure. When
overpressure occurs the spring force is overcome and the excess pressure is vented.

Relief valves can be used to protect components downstream of the regulator from damage,
should regulator failure occur. They should be sized to handle the entire flow rate they could
possibly have to vent at a pressure below the maximum pressure to which the system should be
exposed.

List the applications of quick closing valve.

Applications of Quick Closing Valves

The list of possible industrial areas for quick closing valves is endless. They are frequently used
in pipeline systems that are used for transporting combustible liquids, powders, granules and
larger solid particles. A quick closing valve by AKO can be used in pharmaceutical applications,
as well as the food and drink industry, with use on chemicals, and also agricultural crop
spraying. Further industrial areas include building and construction, sewage and wastewater,
effluent water, mining, dust extraction, toilet systems, shot blasting and spray painting,
plus many more. There are many case studies and company references to show how the quick
closing valve by AKO is successfully used in many different applications.

 Packless construction (bellows seal)

 Emergency closing and opening mechanism in milliseconds
 Can be controlled pneumatically, hydraulically, or manually
 Visual position indication (closed-open)
 The flow of the media shuts off instantly

A quick closing valve can be controlled by pneumatic, hydraulic, or mechanical transmission.
Suitable for a variety of applications, a quick closing valve serves the purpose of a very
important safety function, especially in emergency situations where a product may need to be
suddenly shut off to stop the flow. The very fast one-off function of AKO’s quick closing valve is
one of many advantages that this particular valve has over other conventional valve types.
Under normal circumstances, the quick closing pinch valves are in an open position. Their
uncomplicated construction and design ensures simple operation and optimum safety.
Moreover, the short valve height enables them to be easily placed in narrow spaces. Quick
closing valves are also available in the normally closed position, which require air to open the
internal rubber bellow/sleeve.
