The difference between globe valve and check valve

With the development of high-tech industry, various valves are often used in daily life. Today we will understand the difference between globe valves and check valves.

The difference between globe valve and check valve:
1. Check valve and stop valve are not the same thing, the difference between the two is mainly that the structure is

Globe valve (6)

Globe valve (6)

very different.

2. The check valve is a one-way valve, which automatically prevents the fluid from flowing in the reverse direction, without a knob, and cannot artificially block the forward flow.

3. The stop valve has a knob, which can artificially control the forward flow. Due to its special structure, even if there is no artificial pipe valve, the fluid cannot flow in the reverse direction.

Globe valve:

The globe valve, also known as the shut-off valve, is a forced sealing valve, so when the valve is closed, pressure must be applied to the disc to force the sealing surface to not leak. When the medium enters the valve from below the valve

lift-swing-check-valve-2

disc, the resistance that the operating force needs to overcome is the friction force of the valve stem and the packing and the thrust generated by the pressure of the medium. The force of closing the valve is greater than the force of opening the valve, so the valve stem The diameter of the valve must be large, otherwise the valve stem will bend failure.
working principle of globe valve:
The globe valve, also called the cut-off valve, is one of the most widely used valves. The reason why it is so popular is that the friction between the sealing surfaces is small during the opening and closing process, which is relatively durable, has a low opening height, and is easy to manufacture. , Easy maintenance, not only suitable for medium and low pressure, but also suitable for high pressure. The closing principle of the globe valve is to rely on the pressure of the valve stem to make the sealing surface of the disc and the sealing surface of the valve seat tightly fit to prevent the medium from flowing. Our country’s valve “Sanhua” once stipulated that the flow direction of the stop valve should be from top to bottom, so there is directionality when installing. The structural length of the stop valve is longer than that of the gate valve, and the fluid resistance is large, and the sealing reliability is not strong during long-term operation.

Check valve:

Check valve refers to the valve that automatically opens and closes the disc depending on the flow of the medium itself to prevent the medium from flowing back, also known as check valve, one-way valve, reverse flow valve, and back pressure valve. Check valve is a kind of automatic valve, its main function is to prevent the back flow of the medium, prevent the pump and drive motor from reversing, and the discharge of the container medium.

Electric globe valves’ structural features and installation attention

Structural features of electric globe valve:

1. Open and close without friction. This function completely solves the problem of traditional valves affecting the

Globe valve (6)

Globe valve (6)

sealing due to mutual friction between the sealing surfaces.

2. Top-mounted structure. The valves installed on the pipeline can be directly inspected and repaired online, which can effectively reduce device shutdown and reduce costs.

3. Single valve seat design. Eliminates the problem that the medium in the valve cavity affects the safety of use due to abnormal pressure increase.

4. Low torque design. The valve stem with special structure design can be opened and closed easily with only a small handle.

5. Wedge-shaped sealing structure. The valve relies on the mechanical force provided by the valve stem to press the ball wedge onto the valve seat to seal, so that the sealing performance of the valve is not affected by changes in pipeline pressure, and the sealing performance is reliably guaranteed under various working conditions.

6. Self-cleaning structure of the sealing surface. When the ball is tilted away from the valve seat, the fluid in the pipeline passes through the sealing surface of the ball evenly at 360°, which not only eliminates the local erosion of the valve seat by the high-speed fluid, but also washes away the accumulation on the sealing surface to achieve the purpose of self-cleaning .

7. The valve body and bonnet with valve diameter below DN50 are die forgings, and the valve body and bonnet above DN65 are steel castings.

8. The connection forms of the valve body and the bonnet are different, clamp pin shaft connection, flange gasket connection and self-sealing thread connection.

9. The sealing surfaces of the valve seat and the valve disc are all made of plasma spray welding or surfacing welding of cobalt-chromium-tungsten cemented carbide. The sealing surface has high hardness, wear resistance, scratch resistance and long service life.

10. The valve stem material is nitrided steel. After nitriding, the surface of the stem has high hardness, wear resistance, scratch resistance, corrosion resistance and long service life.

Electric shut-off valve installation attention:

1. Pay attention to the flow direction of the medium when installing the valve, and install it strictly in the direction indicated by the valve flow direction arrow.

2. The valve can be installed at any position of the pipeline, and at the same time, choose a carbon steel or alloy steel valve according to the temperature of the medium and the medium.

3. The electric globe valve should be installed vertically as far as possible, with the valve stem upward.

A. Opening process of globe check valve:

  • In the closed position, the valve body is pressed against the valve seat by the mechanical pressure of the valve stem.
  • When the hand wheel is turned counterclockwise, the valve stem moves in the opposite direction, and the angular plane at the bottom causes the ball to separate from the valve seat.
  • The valve stem continues to lift and interacts with the guide pin in the spiral groove of the valve stem, so that the ball begins to rotate without friction.
  • Until it reaches the fully open position, the valve stem is raised to the limit position, and the ball rotates to the fully open position.

B. Closing process of electric globe valve:

  • When closing, turn the handwheel clockwise, the valve stem begins to drop and the ball leaves the valve seat to start rotating.
  • Continue to rotate the hand wheel, and the valve stem will be acted on by the guide pin embedded in the upper spiral groove to make the valve stem and the gate rotate 90° at the same time.
  • When it is about to close, the gate body has rotated 90° without contact with the valve seat.
  • In the last few turns of the handwheel, the angular plane at the bottom of the valve stem mechanically wedges and presses the sphere to make it tightly press on the valve seat to achieve a complete seal.

12 Globe-valve-4

12 Globe-valve-4

The fluorine-lined stop valve: it is suitable for various concentrations of aqua regia, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid and various organic acids, strong acids, strong oxidants, and various concentrations of strong alkali organic solvents and other Use on corrosive gas and liquid medium pipelines.

The national standard globe valve: it is the most commonly used product in the globe valve series. The API American standard globe valve and the American standard globe valve implement ANSI and API standards. The sealing surfaces of the disc and seat are made of Stellite cobalt-based hard with different hardness. It is made of alloy surfacing, with reliable sealing, high hardness, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, good scratch resistance and long life.

Needle valve: it is a small-caliber instrument valve, which plays a role of opening and closing and precise flow control in the instrument measurement pipeline system. It mainly includes power station instrument series, oil field special series, American standard series, etc.

Cryogenic globe valve: it usually refers to the valve whose working temperature is lower than -110℃, which is widely used in LNG, LPG and other low temperature industries. Since 2008, the globe valve with a suitable temperature of -196℃ can be manufactured, and all parts are pretreated with liquid nitrogen at low temperature to completely avoid seal deformation and leakage during use.

The plunger valve: it is also known as the plunger stop valve. Its sealing surface adopts a radial sealing structure. The load exerted on the valve cover by two elastic sealing rings sleeved on the polished plunger through the connecting bolts of the valve body and the valve cover The elastic sealing ring around the plug compresses the shut-off valve for sealing.

Tianjin Tanghai Valve Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is one of the largest  valve manufacturers in China, main products are butterfly valves, check valves, gate valve and globe valves. Details: butterfly valve, lug type butterfly valve, wafer type butterfly valve, U-type butterfly valve, double flange butterfly valve, gate valves, check valves, globe valves, valve parts (Valve body, Valve disc, Valve shaft, Valve seat…)

Classification of the globe valves-(1)

According to the channel direction, the globe valve is devided into 4 types:

Globe valve (6)

Globe valve (6)

1) Straight-through globe valve.
2) Direct flow stop valve: In direct flow or Y-shaped stop valve, the flow passage of the valve body is in a diagonal line with the main flow passage, so that the damage degree of the flow state is less than that of the conventional stop valve, so the pressure loss through the valve is also corresponding Is too small.
3) Angle type stop valve: In the angle type stop valve, the fluid only needs to change its direction once, so that the pressure drop through this valve is smaller than that of the conventional structure.
4) Plunger type globe valve: This type of globe valve is a variation of the conventional globe valve. In this valve, the disc and valve seat are usually designed based on the plunger principle. The valve clack is polished so that the plunger is connected to the valve stem, and the sealing is achieved by two elastic sealing rings sleeved on the plunger. The two elastic sealing rings are separated by a collar, and the sealing ring around the plunger is pressed firmly by the load exerted on the bonnet by the bonnet nut. The elastic sealing ring can be replaced and can be made of various materials. The valve is mainly used for “open” or “close”, but it is equipped with a special form of plunger or a special collar, which can also be used to adjust the flow .

The position of the thread on the valve stem:

1) Upper threaded stem stop valve: The thread of the stem of the stop valve is on the outside of the valve body. The advantage is that the valve stem is not corroded by the medium and is convenient for lubrication. This structure is more common.

2) Bottom thread stem stop valve: The thread of the stem of the stop valve is in the valve body. The stem thread of this structure is in direct contact with the medium, which is susceptible to corrosion and cannot be lubricated. This structure is used in places with small diameters and low temperatures.

There are many domestic manufacturers of globe valves, and most of the connection sizes are not uniform. It is mainly divided into the following categories: General category based on JB/T2203-1999 “Structural Length of Stop Valves”. At present, most domestic shut-off valve manufacturers design and produce according to this standard. However, this standard is not perfect, and the specifications are not complete. The maximum nominal diameter of a single gate valve is DN1200, and the maximum nominal diameter of a double gate valve is DN1500. According to the specifications of the shut-off valve produced by the manufacturer and the information available, the smallest nominal diameter of the angle-type shut-off valve is DN15, and the nominal diameter of the Z-type straight-through shut-off valve reaches DN2000. After research, the connection size of each manufacturer is not uniform. In order to have a unified standard, users can interchange the same specifications when selecting and installing, it is recommended that China General Machinery Research Institute revise JB/T2203-1999 “Structural Length of Stop Valves”. It is recommended that the design institute and users choose according to the standard, and the stop valve manufacturer should design and manufacture according to the standard.

The working principle and characteristics of the globe valve

The globe valve is a tool that relies on the pressure of the valve stem to make the sealing surface of the disc and the sealing surface of the valve seat tightly fit to prevent the flow of the medium. It is a forced sealing valve and is one of the most widely used valves.

According to the direction of the passage, the globe valve is divided into four types: straight-through globe valve, direct-flow globe valve, angle globe valve and plunger globe valve.
1. Working principle of globe valve:

Globe valve (9)

Globe valve (9)

The stop valve, also called the cut-off valve, is one of the most widely used valves. The reason why it is popular is that the friction between the sealing surfaces is small during the opening and closing process, which is relatively durable, has a small opening height, and is easy to manufacture. , Easy maintenance, not only suitable for medium and low pressure, but also suitable for high pressure. The closing principle of the shut-off valve is to rely on the pressure of the valve stem to make the sealing surface of the disc and the sealing surface of the valve seat closely fit, preventing the flow of the medium. Our country’s valve “Sanhua” once stipulated that the flow direction of the stop valve should be from top to bottom, so there is directionality when installing. The structural length of the shut-off valve is longer than that of the gate valve, and the fluid resistance is large, and the sealing reliability is not strong during long-term operation.

As one of the most important cut-off valves, the globe valve plays an important role in the aerospace field. As an important component of aerospace equipment, the shut-off valve realizes the functions of medium transportation, cut-off, and adjustment, and its sealing performance directly affects the safe and reliable operation of aerospace equipment. Studying the influencing factors and influencing rules of the sealing characteristics of typical globe valves has guiding significance for the structural design of the valve sealing pair, thereby improving the sealing performance and reliability of the valve.

2. Globe valve characteristics:

The valve plays an important role in cutting off and throttling the medium in the pipeline. As an extremely important cut-off valve, the valve is sealed by applying a torque to the valve stem, and the valve stem is in the axial direction. The valve clack applies pressure to make the sealing surface of the valve clack closely fit the sealing surface of the valve seat, and prevent the medium from leaking along the gap between the sealing surfaces.

The sealing pair of the globe valve is composed of a valve flap sealing surface and a valve seat sealing surface, and the valve stem drives the valve flap to move vertically along the center line of the valve seat. During the opening and closing process of the globe valve, the opening height is small, the flow is easy to adjust, and the manufacturing and maintenance are convenient, and the pressure application range is wide.

Compared with another commonly used shut-off valve in industrial production, an alarm valve, the shut-off valve is simpler than the former in terms of structure, and is easy to manufacture and maintain. In terms of service life, the sealing surface of the globe valve is not easy to wear and scratch. During the opening and closing process of the valve, there is no relative sliding between the valve disc and the sealing surface of the seat, so the wear and abrasion of the sealing surface are small, so the sealing is improved. During the full closing process of the auxiliary service life stop valve, the disc stroke is small, and its height is relatively small compared to the alarm valve. The shortcoming of the globe valve is that the opening and closing torque is large and it is difficult to achieve rapid opening and closing. Because the flow passage in the valve body is relatively tortuous, the fluid flow resistance is large, and the fluid power is lost in the pipeline.

Features and working principle of silent check valve

Silent check valve refers to a valve that automatically opens and closes the disc depending on the flow of the medium itself to prevent the medium from flowing back. It is also called check valve, one-way valve, silence check valve, reverse flow valve, and back pressure valve. Check valve is a kind of automatic valve, its main function is to prevent the back flow of the medium, prevent the pump and drive motor from reversing, and discharge the container medium. Check valves can also be used to supply pipelines for auxiliary systems whose pressure may rise above the system pressure. Check valves can be divided into swing check valves (rotating according to the center of gravity) and lift check valves (moving along the axis).
Features of silent check valve:
1. The valve clack adopts a “bullet” shape design, and the valve body adopts a “waist drum” shape design to improve the flow direction of the medium and reduce the flow resistance coefficient.

2. The valve adopts a short structure. Although the head loss is slightly larger than that of the lift-type silent check valve, it is small in size and inexpensive.

3. Compact structure, non-metallic lubrication sleeve is installed between the guide shaft and the guide frame, and the valve flap can be raised and lowered flexibly without locking phenomenon.

4. The skeleton type rubber sealing ring is directly embedded in the valve body, which avoids the direct erosion of the sealing ring by the medium for a long time, and the service life is si

gnificantly prolonged, and it is strong and durable.

5. The valve flap has a short opening and closing stroke, which can effectively prevent water hammer

6. It is suitable for water supply and drainage system and high-rise building pipe network. It can be installed at the outlet of the pump. The structure is slightly modified, and it can be used as a suction bottom valve, but it is not suitable for sewage pipe network.

7. It has small size, light weight, low fluid resistance, fatigue resistance and long life
working principle of silent check valve:
When the medium flows in the specified direction, the valve flap is opened by the force of the medium; when the medium flows backward, the valve flap is tightly closed with the sealing surface of the valve seat due to the weight of the valve flap and the opposing force of the medium. Closed to achieve the purpose of preventing the backflow of the medium.

Check valve is an automatic valve, its main function is to prevent the back flow of the medium, prevent the pump and drive motor from reversing, and the release of the container medium. Check valves can also be used to supply pipelines for auxiliary systems whose pressure may rise above the system pressure.

1. Overview of ball check valve:
Ball type check valve is widely used in petroleum, chemical and electric heating boilers and other devices. It is

fig.01-ball check valve drawing

fig.01-ball check valve drawing

mainly used to prevent the reverse flow of the medium in the pipeline and protect the safe operation of the equipment. It is an ideal non-return device for pipelines. However, the current common check valve structures include swing type and lift type. Because these common check valves have problems such as easy sticking, poor sealing, difficult to repair, and may cause serious shutdown when they close by themselves. The valve water hammer phenomenon, and the water hammer pressure far exceeds the system working pressure, so the system safety may be endangered. Therefore, in addition to meeting the basic requirements of flow, the design of the check valve is the most important thing is the size of the flow resistance, whether there is leakage or vortex, which is related to energy consumption, and at the same time affects the level of production cost and product competitiveness. This new ball check valve is designed based on the theory of reducing flow resistance and eliminating water hammer.
2. Working principle of ball check valve:
The ball check valve shown in Figure 1 includes a valve body, a valve seat 2, a valve cover 7, and a valve disc. The valve body is composed of a left valve body 5 and a right valve body 1. The right valve body is the medium inlet end, and the left valve body The body is the outlet end of the medium. The valve seat 2 is installed between the left valve body 5 and the right valve body 1. The valve disc is a ball 3, and the sealing surface of the valve seat 2 is a spherical surface that cooperates with the surface of the ball 3. The left valve body is composed of a fluid channel and a ball track. The centerline of the sphere track forms an acute angle with the centerline of the fluid channel, and the angle design of the acute angle is determined according to the flexible rise and fall of the valve flap 3 in the sphere track. An arc-shaped filter screen 6 is arranged at the intersecting line of the fluid channel and the sphere orbit. The arc-shaped filter screen 6 has the same curvature as the inner circular wall of the sphere orbit, so that the inner arc of the arc-shaped filter screen 6 and the inner circular wall of the sphere orbit are formed The integral inner cylindrical surface constitutes a smooth rolling passage for the valve flap 3, which does not affect the flow of the medium, and enables the valve flap 3 to roll flexibly. This valve uses media thrust and disc gravity to automatically control the rolling position of the ball in the ball track. When the medium flows in the forward direction, the media thrust pushes the disc to the upper end of the ball track. When the positive thrust of the medium disappears, the disc moves from the ball track. The upper end rolls off and fits the valve seat sealingly, which has the advantages of simple structure, the ball is not easy to be stuck in the ball track, the sealing reliability is good, and the water hammer is small.
3. Structural features of ball check valve:

fig.2-ball check valve 3D schematic

fig.2-ball check valve 3D schematic

The ball check valve has no transmission parts in structure and has a free opening and closing structure, so there is no wear of the shaft and sleeve. The valve flap automatically rotates in the ball orbit, and the sealing surface is always updated, and there is no fixed wear point. The ball surface wears evenly during the working process, and always maintains a high shape accuracy. The use performance will not decrease with the passage of time, which improves the service life of the seal. The surface of the valve disc is lined with rubber, and the dimensional accuracy and surface roughness of the ball can be controlled by the rubber lined mold. The processing accuracy of the ball is reduced, and it can be reused, which reduces the cost of the disc. The surface rubber of the steel ball will elastically deform, can absorb and dampen vibration, and play a certain buffering effect. The low density of rubber makes the inertia of the disc movement small and the movement is sensitive. The sphere adopts a hollow structure and is light in weight, which reduces the impact force of the valve disc on the valve seat when it is closed. The inner diameter of the sphere track is designed to be larger than the pipe diameter of the corresponding flange, which increases the flow cross section, reduces the medium resistance and reduces the pressure. When the sealing structure is designed according to the corresponding flange, the working pressure is from vacuum to medium pressure. Under the premise of not being restricted by installation conditions, the ball check valve can be installed horizontally or vertically. Moreover, the valve is easy to maintain in the pipeline, and only needs to replace the lower disc.
4. Conclusion of ball check valve:
In accordance with DIN EN 12266 “Pressure Test of Valves” and corporate standards, the series of ball check valves have been inspected and tested. As a result of the test, the technical performance parameters fully meet the design requirements. The application of this valve improves the safety factor of other equipment on the pipeline, with low flow resistance, flexible opening and closing, and good sealing performance, which is welcomed by users. This valve is also equipped with a curved filter screen to purify the medium. One valve has multiple functions, meeting customers’ multi-functional requirements, and greatly reducing customer costs.

Ball check valve introduction

Check valves are also known as counterflow valves, check valves, back pressure valves, and one-way valves. This kind of valve is automatically opened and closed by the force generated by the flow of the medium itself in the pipeline, and belongs to an automatic valve.

Uses and characteristics of ball check valve:

ball check valve (9)

ball check valve (9)

HQ44X single-ball micro-resistance ball check valve and HQ45X double-ball micro-resistance ball check valve all use rubber covered balls as the disc. Their principle is that under the action of the medium, they can roll back and forth on the slide in the valve body, thereby Play to open or close the valve. The main features of HQ44X single-ball micro-resistance ball check valve and HQ45X double-ball micro-resistance ball check valve are large flow, small flow resistance pressure loss, good sealing performance, silencing closure, and reduction of water hammer waves. It can be installed horizontally or vertically. The micro-resistance ball check valve can be used at the pump outlets of cold water, hot water, industrial and domestic sewage pipe networks to prevent the medium from flowing back. In order to prevent the medium from flowing back, check valves should be installed on equipment, devices and pipelines

Ball check valve is also called reverse valve, check valve, back pressure valve, one-way valve. This kind of valve is automatically opened and closed by the force generated by the flow of the medium itself in the pipeline, and belongs to an automatic valve. The check valve is used in the piping system, and its main function is to prevent the medium from flowing back, preventing the pump and its driving motor from reversing, and to discharge the medium in the container. Check valves can also be used to supply pipelines for auxiliary systems whose pressure may rise above the pressure of the main system.

Product advantages of ball check valve:
1. The fluid resistance is small. The ball check valve is the smallest fluid resistance of all valves. Even the reduced diameter ball valve has relatively small fluid resistance.

2. The check valve is opened and closed quickly and conveniently. As long as the valve stem rotates 90°, the ball valve completes the fully open or fully closed action, which is easy to achieve rapid opening and closing.

3. Good sealing performance. Spherical check valve seat sealing ring is generally made of elastic materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene, which is easy to ensure sealing, and the sealing force of the ball valve increases with the increase of medium pressure.

4. The valve stem is sealed reliably. The valve stem only rotates when the ball valve is opened and closed, so the packing seal of the valve stem is not easily damaged, and the sealing force of the reverse seal of the valve stem increases with the increase of medium pressure.

5. The opening and closing of the ball valve can only be rotated by 90°, so it is easy to realize automatic control and remote control. The ball valve can be equipped with pneumatic device, electric device, hydraulic device, gas-liquid linkage device or electro-hydraulic linkage device.

6. The spherical check valve channel is flat and smooth, and it is not easy to deposit media, and the pipeline can be ball-passed.
