V-Port Ball Valves Vs. Globe Valves for Control Applications SPECIAL TOPIC – Actuation & Automation V-Port Ball Valves vs. Globe Valves for Control Applications In most process applications there are two different types of valves used: on/off and control. On/off valves are simply for allowing full flow or stopping flow completely. Control valves, in contrast have the ability to control the AMOUNT of flow, also known as throttling.

V-Port Ball Valves are available 1-800-899-0553 in 2-way flow control. Is bubble-tight shutoff required? Globe valves are not typically used for applications where a bubble-tight shut- off is required although they could be used in combination with a simple on/off ball, butterfly, or plug valve, or any other type of shutoff valve. This of course adds to the cost and space requirements. V-Port Ball Valves use the “floating ball principle” which will provide a bubble tight shutoff in addition to the modu- lating flow control.

    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.

  • 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.
