German BADGER valves BADGER models BADGER prices

BADGER valves, also known as globe valves, belong to the forced-sealing valve category. Therefore, when the valve is closed, pressure must be applied to the disc to ensure a leak-tight seal at the sealing surface. When the medium enters the valve from below the disc, the resistance that the operating force must overcome consists of the friction between the valve stem and the packing, plus the thrust generated by the medium pressure. The force required to close the valve is greater than the force required to open it; therefore, the valve stem diameter must be sufficiently large to prevent bending failure of the stem. Based on the connection method, they are classified into three types: flange connection, threaded connection, and welded connection. Since the advent of self-sealing valves, the medium for globe valves
