1. Selection precautions

(1) Material Selection: Choose appropriate valve body and sealing materials based on the chemical properties, temperature, and pressure of the conveyed medium. Common materials include cast iron, stainless steel, and brass. For corrosive media, corrosion-resistant materials should be selected.

(2) Valve Specifications: Select the appropriate size of the Y-type globe valve according to the flow requirements and pressure demands of the pipeline system to ensure that the valve meets the system's process requirements.

(3) Structural Type: Determine whether a manually operated, electrically actuated, or pneumatically actuated Y-type globe valve is needed to suit different automation control requirements.

 

2. Installation precautions

(1) Installation Position: Ensure that the valve's directional markings align with the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline. The Y-type globe valve is typically installed in horizontal pipelines but can also be installed in vertical pipelines depending on the specific site requirements.

(2) Installation Space: When installing the Y-type globe valve, ensure there is sufficient space for operation and maintenance, allowing for easy opening, closing, and regular inspection and maintenance.

(3) Pipeline Cleaning: Before installation, thoroughly clean the pipeline system to remove impurities, welding slag, and other foreign objects to prevent them from entering the valve and affecting its sealing performance and operation.

(4) Secure Connections: During installation, properly secure the valve connections to the pipeline to avoid leaks caused by improper connections. Do not overtighten to prevent damage to the valve's sealing surfaces and connection components.

 

3. Operation precautions

(1) Opening and Closing Operation: When opening or closing the Y-type globe valve, slowly turn the handwheel or operate the actuator to avoid damaging internal components due to rapid or forceful operation.

(2) Opening and Closing Frequency: The Y-type globe valve has a limited number of opening and closing cycles. Frequent operation may lead to wear on the sealing surfaces, so control the frequency of operation according to working conditions.

(3) Open/Close Status Check: Regularly check the valve's open and close status to ensure it is fully opened or closed, avoiding a partially open or closed state that can affect system operation.

 

4. Maintenance precautions

(1) Regular Inspection: Periodically check all components of the Y-type globe valve, especially the sealing surfaces and valve stem, to ensure there is no wear, corrosion, or other abnormalities.

(2) Lubrication Maintenance: For manually operated Y-type globe valves, regularly lubricate the valve stem and threaded parts to reduce friction and ensure smooth operation. For electric or pneumatic actuators, regularly check the actuator's operating condition and lubrication.

(3) Seal Replacement: If the valve's sealing performance decreases, replace the seals promptly to ensure the valve's sealing effectiveness and longevity.

(4) Protective Measures: In environments prone to external impacts or vibrations, implement appropriate protective measures, such as installing supports or dampers, to protect the valve from damage.

 

5. Emergency response measures

(1) Leak Handling: If a leak is detected in the Y-type globe valve during use, immediately stop using the valve, close the upstream and downstream pipelines, and release the system pressure before performing repairs or replacement.

(2) Emergency Shutdown: In emergency situations requiring the rapid closure of the Y-type globe valve, avoid excessive force to prevent valve damage. It is recommended to operate the valve slowly and steadily.

Nowadays, most industries are using high-tech and modern types of valves to enhance production and operation.

Out of all the other types of industrial valves, globe valves are widely used in the oil, gas and fuel industries.

There are many uses of this type of valve as it works to stop as well as regulate the flow of liquids. If you want to know more about globe valves and their uses, follow this article.

What Are Globe Valves?

It is a type of linear motion valve which is used in different types of industries. It is designed in a way that you can use it for throttling as well. 

It has a spherical shape like a globe and comes with a disc. The disc moves in order to block as well as allow the flow of substances. When you close the valve, the disc entirely covers the pathway to stop the flow of fluids.

However, when you open the valve, the disc moves upwards in order to clear the pathway and allows substances to flow freely. It is mostly used for isolation and throttling purposes.

This type of industrial valves has good shutoff capability. You can use it to prevent leakages. Apart from that, it also offers good throttling capacity.

The stroke is shorter, which makes it easy to use and maintain. It is available in different types and designs. 

Applications and Uses of Globe Valves:

Globe valves have many applications. It is used for industrial as well as domestic purposes. The majority of the industries with plumbing needs use this type of valve. Here are some applications and uses of globe valves. 

Cooling Water Systems:

A globe valve helps maintain the heat and cooling of the system by regulating the flow. It helps in the adjustment of the temperature of the system in relation to the demand of heat or cool by taking the measurement of the changes in pressure. As a result, a valve regulates the amount of heat produced by the boiler. 

Fuel Oil Systems: 

A Globe Valve is a very important component of fuel oil systems. It helps to prevent and control the rate at which gasoline is burnt in an engine, thus enabling the engine to maintain a constant pressure of fuel at all times. It is usually found on the side of the engine near the firewall. It has a round-shaped body and has two cones on its side. 

Chemical Feed Systems:

A Globe valve is one of the important parts of chemical feed systems. It helps in the complete process of converting the feed mixture into a liquid, and it also helps in the separation of solids from the liquid mixture. A Globe valve has a piston, and it is rotatable. In this, the piston moves up and down due to the increase and decrease in pressure. 

Boiler, Main Stem Vents and Drains:

The globe valve is used in main steam and boiler rooms and drains as well. They can be used for controlling the amount of steam that enters a room from outside, regulate the water temperature in the boiler or condensate drain, or act as a thermostatic valve. It is commonly used in the hot water tank to prevent the loss of hot water from the tank through the pipes.

Turbine Lube Oil System:

A globe valve is used in a turbine lube oil system as it allows the flow of turbine oil to be limited to a single point. The oil is pumped by means of a turbine into a sump tank that is located above the turbine.
