    NEWCO Cast Steel Valves

    NEWCO Cast Steel Valves NEWCO Cast Steel Valves Gates Sizes: 2” to 54” (50 mm to 1350 mm) Cameron’s NEWCO® cast steel gate, Classes: 150 to 1500 globe and check valves exceed all industry design requirements. These NEWCO cast steel gate valves are ideal for bi-directional flow and tight shutoff. Due to the valves range from 2” to 54” (50 mm flow characteristics of the wedge-to-seat design, to 1350 mm) in pressure classes 150 gate valves should be operated in the full-open to 1500. or full-closed position. Concentrated flow across the seats of a partially opened gate valve risks possible seat damage, therefore throttling is not recommended. Gate valves are utilized in applications where minimum pressure drop is desired. Globes Sizes: 2” to 24” (50 mm to 600 mm) Classes: 150 to 1500 NEWCO cast steel globe valves are ideal for unidirectional, controlled flow. The flow characteristics of a globe valve are repeatable, consistent and easy to control at various open positions, which makes the design ideal for general flow regulation. Note: If line pressure drops below 20%, cavitation, vibration and noise may occur, resulting in hardware damage. If these conditions are likely, consult your Cameron representative for recommendations. Angle Globes Sizes: 2” to 12” (50 mm to 300 mm) Classes: 150 to 600 NEWCO cast steel angle globe valves are ideal for unidirectional, controlled flow. The flow characteristics of an angle globe valve are repeatable, consistent and easy to control at various positions, which makes the design ideal for general flow regulation. Note: If line pressure drops below 20%, cavitation, vibration and noise may occur, resulting in hardware damage.
  • Valves for Oil & Gas Industries

    Valves for Oil & Gas Industries

    Valves for Oil & Gas Industries Engineered Solutions for Isolation and Control Severe Operating Conditions. Critical Safety Operations. Dependability in Remote Locations. All these factors are key concerns for oil & gas equipment used in upstream, midstream and downstream processes. MOGAS metal- seated isolation and rotary control valves are built for punishing conditions. We understand the crucial need for absolute shutoff and reliable pressure and flow control. Our ongoing application- specific research and development—coupled with in-the-field customer assistance, valve analysis and maintenance / repair service—provides a high level of confidence and support. Advanced production techniques and pipeline processes are creating a demand for not only a new way of operating, but new types of equipment and valves. Production and pipeline components are expected to last longer in order to maximize return on investments—and recognize the true total cost of ownership. This is where MOGAS products excel by outlasting traditional “throw-away” valves, performing reliably in extreme conditions, and being supported with field services you can count on.

    Aquatherm Technical Bulletin

    Aquatherm Technical Bulletin 201304A -AQTTB Aquatherm Valve Applications Date Issued: 18 April 2013 Aquathem offers a variety of valves in our catalog. These valves range in offering between the screw- down stop globe valve, concealed valves, inclined globe valves and ball valves. This document is an attempt to identify the valve offerings and their different applications. Globe Valves Globe valves are named for their spherical body shape with the two halves of the body being separated by a baffle (see Figure 1) consisting of a movable disc-type element and a stationary seat. Typically the body of the globe valve is spherical in shape, hence the name Globe valve. Aquatherm’s globe valves do not have a spherical body. Figure 1: Globe Valve Globe valves, due to their internal design, are used mainly for flow control. They operate fairly efficiently in a partially open position to throttle or control the flow rate of liquids. They are used to control flow rates when mixing fluids or in batching operations where fluids may need to be continuously adjusted. Globe valves can be operated manually or by an actuator. 1 Advantages: Can be fast acting; Precise Control; Can be used in high-pressure systems. Disadvantages: High head loss; Large opening for disk assembly; low coefficient of flow; Not good for clean or sterile applications; Valve stem requires many turns to open or close. Aquatherm offers globe valves in straight and inclined or “Y” globe versions. 825 W 600 N | Lindon UT, 84042 801-805-6657 aquatherm.com Figure 2: Straight Globe Valve Figure 3: Y-Pattern Globe valve, Inclined Check valve.
