German BOMA valves BOMA models BOMA prices

The closing element of the BOMA 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 highly 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.

BOMA 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 prone to wear and abrasion. During the opening and closing process, there is no relative sliding between the disc and the seat sealing surface, resulting in less wear and abrasion on the sealing surface, thus extending the service life of the sealing pair. The disc stroke of the globe valve during full opening and closing is small, and its height is relatively lower than that of the gate valve. The disadvantages of the globe valve are large opening and closing torque and difficulty in achieving rapid opening and closing. Because the flow channel inside the valve body is relatively tortuous, the fluid flow resistance is high, causing significant loss of fluid power in the pipeline.

Precautions for BOMA 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 ex-factory delivery: (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.

BOMA 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 use impact. Certain high-pressure globe valves designed for impact opening and closing have components that account for this impact force and cannot be treated the same as 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 considerable dirt inside. The globe valve can be slightly opened to use the high-speed flow of the medium to flush it away, then gently closed (do not close quickly or forcefully to prevent residual impurities from damaging the sealing surface), and then opened again. Repeat this process several times to flush out 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 after an appropriate interval 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 excessive effort is required, 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 element 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.
