The closing element of the SFS valve is a plug-shaped disc, with a flat or conical sealing surface. The disc moves linearly along the centerline of the valve seat. The stem movement type (commonly known as non-rising stem) also includes rising-rotating stem types. It can be used to control the flow of various fluids such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, slurry, oil products, liquid metals, and radioactive media. Therefore, this type of stop valve is very suitable for shut-off, regulation, and throttling. Due to the relatively short opening or closing stroke of the valve stem of this type of valve, and its very reliable shut-off function, and because the change in the valve seat passage is directly proportional to the disc stroke, it is very suitable for flow regulation.

SFS valve globe valve features

Compared with another commonly used shut-off valve in industrial production, the gate valve, the globe valve has a simpler structure, making it easier to manufacture and maintain. In terms of service life, the sealing surface of the globe valve is not easily worn or scratched. During the opening and closing process, there is no relative sliding between the disc and the seat sealing surface, resulting in less wear and damage to the sealing surface, thus extending the service life of the sealing pair. The globe valve has a small disc stroke during the fully open and fully closed process, and its height is relatively smaller than that of the gate valve. The disadvantages of the globe valve are that the opening and closing torque is large and it is difficult to achieve rapid opening and closing. Because the flow channel inside the valve body is quite tortuous, the fluid flow resistance is high, causing significant loss of fluid power in the pipeline.

Precautions for SFS valve performance testing

1) When valves of a specific specification are manufactured in batches, an official agency should be commissioned to perform the following performance tests: (1) Opening and closing torque of the valve under working pressure conditions; (2) Detection of the flow resistance coefficient of the valve under pipeline water transmission conditions. 2) The following tests should be performed on the valve before leaving the factory: (1) With the valve in the open position, the valve body shall withstand an internal pressure test at twice the valve's working pressure value; (2) With the valve in the closed position, both sides shall separately withstand 11 times the valve's working pressure value without leakage; however, for metal-sealed butterfly valves, the leakage value shall not exceed the relevant requirements.

SFS valve operation

For globe valves, one must not only know how to install and maintain them, but also how to operate them. When opening or closing a globe valve, apply force steadily; do not impact it. Certain high-pressure globe valves designed for impact opening and closing have components that account for this impact force, which cannot be equated with standard globe valves. When the globe valve is fully open, turn the handwheel back slightly to tighten the threads and prevent loosening and damage. When the pipeline is first used, there may be a lot of dirt inside. You can slightly open the globe valve and use the high-speed flow of the medium to flush it away, then gently close it (do not close quickly or forcefully to prevent residual impurities from damaging the sealing surface), then open it again. Repeat this process several times to flush out the dirt before putting it into normal operation. For frequently open globe valves, dirt may adhere to the sealing surface. When closing, use the above method to flush it clean, then formally close it tightly. If the handwheel or handle is damaged or lost, replace it immediately. Do not use an adjustable wrench as a substitute to avoid damaging the square section of the valve stem, which could lead to ineffective opening/closing and cause accidents in production. For certain media, cooling after the globe valve is closed causes valve components to contract. Operators should close the valve again at an appropriate time to ensure no fine gaps remain on the sealing surface. Otherwise, the medium flowing at high speed through the fine gaps can easily erode the sealing surface. During operation, if the operation feels excessively strenuous, analyze the cause. If the packing is too tight, loosen it appropriately. If the valve stem is skewed, notify personnel for repair. Some globe valves experience difficulty in opening when the closing component expands due to heat in the closed state. If opening is necessary at this time, loosen the valve bonnet threads by half to one turn to relieve valve stem stress, then turn the handwheel.
