http://boilersinfo.com/
Double-seated value
• A double-seated value, is generally top and
bottom guided.
• Leakage figure approaches 0.5% of the rated
CV.
• It is nearly impossible to close the two ports
simultaneously
• Advantage of double-seated construction lies
in the reduction of required actuator forces.

CV
The number of U.S. gallons of water
at 60° F which will pass per minute
through a given flow restriction with
a pressure drop of 1 PSI
http://boilersinfo.com/
Solving for Cv
Rearranging the Equation - Until now, the discussion has centered on
calculating a flow rate through a restriction. In valve sizing, of coarse,
the objective is to calculate a Cv from a required flow rate. To
accomplish this, the basic equation can he rearranged to solve for Cv
as shown below.
Rearrange to
Solve for Cv
where:
Q =Flow Rate, gpm
CV =Valve Flow Coefficient
ΔP= P2- P1
G= Fluid Specific Gravity

Cage Valves
• So-called "top entry" or cage valves have the
advantage of easy trim removal.
• Typical top entry valve with unbalanced,
single-seated trim.
• The inner valve parts, often referred to as
"quick change trim," can easily be removed
after removing the bonnet, because of the
absence of internal threads.

PINCH VALVES
• PINCH VALVE
– THE WORKING ELEMENT OF A PINCH VALVE IS AN
ELASTOMER TUBE OR SLEEVE WHICH CAN BE SQUEEZED
AT ITS MID SECTION BY SOME MECHANICAL SYSTEM
UNTILL TUBE WALLS ARE PINCHED TOGETHER PRODUCING
FULL CLOSURE OF FLOW PATH
– OTHER THAN MECHANICAL MECHANISM, HYDRAULIC OR
AIR PRESSURE INJECTED DIRECTLY INTO THE BODY OF THE
VALVE TO OPERATE IT
http://boilersinfo.com/
Continued…
– WITH REGULATED FLUID PRESSURE, VALVE MAY BE USED
FOR THROTTLING AS WELL AS SHUT-OFF SERVICE
– PARTICULAR ADVANTAGE OF FLUID OPERATED PINCH
VALVE IS ITS TIGHT CLOSURE OVER ENTRAPPED SOLIDS
– THESE ARE PARTICULARLY SUITABLE FOR HANDLING
COROSIVE MEDIA, SOLIDS IN SUSPENSION & SLURRIES
– THESE HAVE UNRESTRICTED BORE AT FULL OPENING
– CAN HANDLE ALL TYPES OF FLUIDS
http://boilersinfo.com/
Continued…
– VALVES WITH MECHANICAL MECHANISM ARE OPERATED
BY HANDWHEEL, SCREW MECHANISM IN SMALL SIZES
AND WITH POWERED MECHANISM IN LARGE SIZES
– ALSO OPERATED BY PNEUMATIC AND HYDRAULIC
ACTUATORS
– VARIOUS LOW HARDNESS, HIGH TENSILE ELASTOMER
COMPOUNDS ARE USED FOR TUBES. CHOICE DEPENDS ON
CHEMICAL/ ABRSION RESISTANCE AND SERVICE
TEMPERATURE
– SIZES COMMONLY AVAILABLE ARE UPTO 12”

NEEDLE VALVE
Continued…
– IN SCREWDOWN VALVE, NEEDLE ACTS
PERPENDICULAR TO THE AXIS OF FLOW
– IN OBLIQUE VALVE, NEEDLE ACTS AT 45° ANGLE AND
OFFERS COMPARATIVLEY MORE DIRECT FLOW PATH.
FLOW PATH IS LESS TORTUROUS WITH REDUCED
PRESSURE DROP THAN A GLOBE VALVE. HAS GOOD
THROTTLING X-TICS.
– IN ANGLE VALVES, NEEDLE ACTS ON FLUID AGAINST
FLOW PATH AND CONTROLLED OUTLET FLOW IS AT
RIGHT ANGLE TO THE MAIN FLOW
– NEEDLE IS GENERALLY THREADED AND ITSELF ACTS
AS A SEAL TO ELIMINATE LEAKAGE PAST THE NEEDLE

SOLENOID VALVE
Continued…
– SOLENOID MAY BE OPERATED BY A.C OR D.C
– A.C IS SUPPLIED FROM MAIN VOLTAGE THROUGH A
TRANSFORMER, IF NECESSARY
– D.C IS PROVIDED BY BATTERY, D.C GENERATOR OR
THROUGH A RECTIFIER
– A.C OPERATED SOV IS QUICKER IN RESPONSE TIME
AND CAN HANDLE HIGHER PRESSURES INITIALLY.
PREFFERED WHERE FAST RESPONSE IS REQUIRED AND
RELAY TYPE ELECTRIC CONTROLS ARE USED. RESPONSE
TIME IS 8-15 MILLISECONDS.
http://boilersinfo.com/
Continued…
– D.C OPERATED SOV IS SLOW IN RESPONSE AND CAN
HANDLE LOW PRESSURES. NOT SUBJECT TO PEAK INITIAL
CURRENT THAT PREVENTS FROM OVERHEATING AND COIL
DAMAGE. RESPONSE TIME IS 30-40 MILLISEC.
– A.C OPERATED SOV HAS HIGHER POWER LOSSES THAN
D.C OPERATED
– SOVs ARE PRODUCED IN 02 CATEGORIES
• 2-WAY VALVE
• 3-WAY VALVE
http://boilersinfo.com/
Continued…
– 02-WAY IS AVAILABLE IN NORMALLY OPEN AND NORMALLY
CLOSED POSITION
– IN 02-WAY NORMALLY OPEN, SPRING HOLDS THE VALVE
OPEN ASSISTED BY FLUID PRESSURE. SOLENOID FORCE
OVERCOMES BOTH THESE FORCES AND CLOSES THE VALVE
– IN 02-WAY NORMALLY CLOSED, BOTH SPRING FORCE AND
FLUID PRESSURE ACT TO CLOSE THE VALVE. SOLENOID
FORCE OPENS THE VALVE AIDED UP BY THE GRAVITY
FORCE AS THESE VALVES ARE GENERALLY MOUNTED IN
VERTICLE POSITION

SCREWDOWN VALVE
Continued…
– CATEGORIZED AS
• INSIDE SCREW VALVE (ISV)
• OUTSIDE SCREW VALVE (OSV)
– INSIDE SCREW HAVE THREADED PORTION OF STEM FULLY
ENCLOSED WITHIN THE BONNET
– OUTSIDE SCREW HAVE THE THREADED PORTION OF STEM
EXTERIOR TO THE BONNET AND INSIDE YOKE
– THESE CAN ALSO BE CATEGORIZED AS
• RISING STEM VALVES (RSV)
• NON-RISING STEM VALVES (NRSV)
http://boilersinfo.com/
Continued…
– IN RSV, STEM MOVES IN OR OUT OF THE BONNET AS
THE STEM IS ROTATED BY HANDWHEEL, LEVER OR
ACTUATOR
– IN NRSV, THERE IS NO DISPLACEMENT OF STEM ALONG
ITS AXIS WHEN ROTATED
– ISV HAVE THE THREADED LENGTH OF STEM PROTECTED
FROM DIRT. STEM IS FULLY EXPOSED TO FLUID BEING
HANDLED. STEM IS DIFFICULT TO BE LUBRICATED
http://boilersinfo.com/
Continued…
– OSV HAVE THE THREADED LENGTH FULLY EXPOSED TO
SURROUNDINGS. DIRT CAN DEPOSIT ON STEM BESIDES
ALSO VULNERABLE TO CORROSION. THREADED PORTION
CAN EASILY BE LUBRICATED. THREADED PORTION IS NOT
EXPOSED TO FLUID BEING HANDLED. THIS TYPE IS MORE
SUITABLE FOR HANDLING CORROSIVE FLUIDS AND
SLURRIES.
– RSV PROVIDE A VISUAL INDICATION OF POSITION OF THE
VALVE DISC OR GATE, HANCE INDICATE DEGREE OF
OPENING. ADEQUATE SPACE IS REQD TO ALLOW RISING
STEM MOVEMENT
http://boilersinfo.com/

– NRSV CAN BE INSTALLED IN POSITIONS WHEREHEAD
ROOM IS LIMITED.

http://boilersinfo.com/
Valve Bonnets
• The valve bonnet or top closure is the removable upper portion of
the valve body sub-assembly and is normally connected to the
body by high strength bolting.
• It is a pressure-carrying part and is, therefore, subject to the same
design requirements as the valve housing.
• Removal of the valve bonnet generally provides access to the valve
trim.
• Some low-pressure valves, particularly in sizes below 2 inches,
have a threaded bonnet connection which is more economical than
a flanged joint.
• The upper portion of the bonnet contains the valve packing.
