DN100-PN25 Bellow Seal Globe Valve
Description
Technical Datasheet: Bellows Seal Globe Valve
Product Name: Bellows Seal Globe Valve (波纹管截止阀)
Connection: Flanged Ends
Nominal Size: DN100 (4″)

1. General Design Features
-
Type: Bellows-sealed globe valve, straight-through pattern (直通式) .
-
Seal Design: Double sealing system. Primary seal is a multi-ply metal bellows welded to the stem, preventing external leakage. Secondary backup packing (graphite) provides additional safety .
-
Bonnet Design: Bolted bonnet construction for easy maintenance .
-
Back Seat: Standard back seat design allows for repacking under pressure (in open position) and protects the packing from system flow .
-
Operation: Rising stem with non-rising handwheel (indicates valve position) .
-
Flow Direction: Flow direction is typically “above the disc” (flow closes) for improved shut-off capability .

6. Inspection & Testing Procedure
-
Shell Test: Valve partially open. Hydrostatic test at 1.5 times PN (38 bar) . Check body and bonnet joints for leaks .
-
Seat Test: Valve closed. Hydrostatic test at 1.1 times PN (27.5 bar) . Check for leakage across the seat.
-
Bellows Seal Test: Specific test to ensure the bellows integrity (usually with air or helium leak detection).
-
Backseat Test: Verify backseat seal function when valve is fully open.
7. Features & Benefits
-
Zero Leakage: The welded metal bellows eliminates stem leakage, reducing maintenance and improving safety for toxic or expensive media .
-
Extended Service Life: Bellows compensates for thermal expansion and has high cycle life.
-
Energy Savings: Prevents loss of valuable fluids or steam.
-
Maintenance Friendly: Backup packing allows for sealing even in the unlikely event of bellows failure .
-
ISO 5211 Mounting: Top flange (if specified) allows for easy mounting of actuators.
