To understand the difference between globe valve and stop check valve, we should first figure out what is a stop check valve. Stop check valve combines the functions of a general globe valve and check valve, which means besides isolating and regulating the flow rate, it can also prevent reverse flow. From the appearance, globe valve and stop check valve almost look the same. The main difference li...

If the medium remained in the cavity after the cryogenic gate valve is closed, the residue will gradually absorb the heat in the air and re-gasify. After the gasification, it will expand violently up to 600 times and generate extremely high pressure on the valve, which is called 'abnormal boost'. When the unusual occurrence happens, the wedge will be pressed firmly onto the seat and can’t be opene...

Bronze and brass are two of the most common materials used to produce valves. This preference comes because both metals are quite malleable. They both are artificially made from natural metallurgical elements: brass is made from copper and zinc, while another is made primarily from copper and tin. Each metal offers valves numerous and various advantages...

What is valve corrosion? Corrosion of valves is usually understood as the damage to the metal materials of the valve caused by the chemical or electrochemical environment. Since the corrosion appears in the spontaneous interaction between the metal and the surrounding environment, the focus of corrosion prevention is how to isolate the metal from the surrounding environment or more use of non...

There are four common types of plug valves, each of which has specific characteristics and advantages. Lubricated plug valve The lubrication plug valve uses lubricant to reduce frictions and make each port tightly sealed. Lubricants are basicly base oils that increase the viscosity of moving parts, such as amorphous or fumed silica, which are injected between the valve plug surface and the valve b...

The V-type ball valve is a single-seat ball valve with a metal seat. The adjustment performance is the best in the ball valves, whose flow characteristics are equal percentages, and the adjustable ratio is up to 100:1. It has a shearing action between the V-shaped slit and the metal seat, and is especially suitable for media containing fibers, tiny solid particles, and slurry. During the...
