If you’ve ever hesitated between choosing a flanged or threaded globe valve, you’re not alone. Globe valves are common shut-off valves widely used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, shipbuilding, and water treatment. While both connection types can control fluid flow, they differ significantly in terms of installation method, sealing performance, and suitable applications. This article will provide a systematic comparison of flanged and threaded globe valves from the perspectives of structure, performance, and application. I. Fundamental Difference in Connection Methods 1.Flanged Globe Valve A flanged globe valve connects to the pipeline through flanges, with bolts tightening the flange faces together to ensure a secure seal.This connection type offers excellent strength and reliability, making it ideal for medium to high-pressure, large-diameter, and frequently operated systems.In industrial applications, typical sizes range from DN50 to DN300, and flange dimensions generally follow international standards such as ANSI, DIN, or JIS. 2. Threaded Globe ValveA threaded globe valve typically uses either internal (NPT/BSP) or external threads to connect to the pipeline, relying on the threads themselves for sealing.This compact and lightweight structure allows for easy installation and is mainly used in small-diameter (usually ≤ DN50) and low-pressure systems, including residential pipelines.Because it does not require welding or flange gaskets, a threaded valve is more cost-effective in both installation and maintenance. II. Comparison of Sealing Performance and Maintenance Flanged Globe ValveFlanged globe valves typically use metal or flexible graphite gaskets for sealing, offering excellent resistance to high temperature, high pressure, and corrosion.During long-term operation, maintenance or valve replacement is straightforward—simply loosen the flange bolts to disassemble the valve. Threaded Globe ValveThe sealing of a threaded globe valve mainly depends on the thread engagement and sealing materials such as PTFE tape or sealing paste.However, repeated disassembly can damage the threads and increase the risk of leakage.For this reason, threaded globe valves are better suited for fixed installations, clean fluids, and low-pressure systems. III. Structural Dimensions and Installation Requirements Flanged Globe ValveFlanged globe valves are larger in size and require more installation space, but they provide superior vibration resistance and pressure tolerance.They are commonly used in industrial piping networks or pump station systems where sufficient structural support is available. Threaded Globe ValveThreaded globe valves feature a compact design, making them ideal for confined spaces or lightweight piping systems such as laboratories, compressor inlets and outlets, and domestic water supply lines.However, thr...
Have you ever encountered repeated fluid shocks, frequent valve cycling, or excessive noise in your pipeline system? If a check valve is not selected properly, issues such as leakage, valve damage, or fluid hammer can occur. While check valves are effective at preventing backflow, they are not suitable for all operating conditions. The following cases require special attention: High-frequency opening and closing conditions Check valves rely on the disc or flap to close automatically. If the medium in the pipeline flows frequently or the valve cycles too often, impact, water hammer, or vibration may occur, shortening the valve’s service life. In such cases, consider using spring-loaded or damped check valves, or even other valve types better suited to the application. High-viscosity fluids or media with solid particles Thick fluids or those containing solids can prevent the valve disc from closing fully, increasing the risk of leakage. For slurries, mud, or liquids with a high concentration of particles, specialized valves or additional filtration equipment should be used instead. High-pressure systems In high-pressure applications, the valve disc is subject to strong impacts and repeated collisions, which can cause wear on the sealing surfaces or structural damage. For such environments, more robust backflow prevention solutions should be considered. Systems Sensitive to Pressure or Flow Variations When a check valve closes, it may cause pressure loss or flow fluctuations. If the system is highly sensitive to such variations, careful evaluation of the valve type and installation location is required to avoid negative impacts on overall pipeline performance. Conclusion A check valve is an essential device for preventing backflow, but it should be used with caution in certain operating conditions such as high-frequency cycling, high-viscosity fluids, high-pressure systems, or applications sensitive to flow variations. By properly assessing the pipeline operating conditions and fluid characteristics, you can ensure the check valve performs at its best, extends service life, and reduces maintenance costs.
Have you ever faced the challenge of selecting the right globe valve disc during pipeline system design or operation? When using a globe valve to control fluid flow, the disc type directly affects sealing performance, flow regulation, and suitability for specific conditions. Understanding the types of discs and their applications can help you make faster, more accurate selections and improve overall system efficiency. Flat / Standard Disc Features: The disc has a flat sealing surface, simple structure, and relatively low manufacturing cost. Applications: Commonly used for water, steam, air, and other low-viscosity media. Suitable for medium to low-pressure systems. Pros & Cons: Provides basic and reliable shutoff, but sealing reliability is moderate. Under long-term high pressure or high temperature, the sealing surface may wear more quickly. Conical / Tapered Disc Features: The disc is conical in shape, matching the sealing surface of the valve seat with a smaller contact area. Applications: Ideal for high-pressure conditions or systems requiring precise shutoff, such as steam and oil pipelines. Pros & Cons: Offers excellent sealing performance, but requires greater operating torque for opening and closing. Plug / Concave Disc Features: The disc surface is slightly convex, forming point contact with the valve seat, offering high sealing precision. Applications: Suitable for gases, liquids, and some corrosive media, allowing effective flow regulation. Pros & Cons: Manufacturing cost is higher, but sealing performance and wear resistance are superior to flat discs. Double Disc Features: A large disc contains a smaller inner disc. Applications: Commonly used in high-pressure, large-diameter valves. It helps balance pressure and extend valve service life. Pros & Cons: Structurally more complex and more expensive, but ideal for high-pressure, large-diameter applications. Conclusion Globe valve discs come in a variety of types, each with unique advantages and suitable working conditions. When selecting a disc, consider the medium type, pressure, temperature, and flow requirements. Choosing the correct disc ensures reliable system sealing, extends valve life, and reduces maintenance costs.
The global industrial valve market is undergoing a quiet yet significant transformation.
