Construction of Bellows Seal Globe Valve

  • Formed Bellows: Made by rolling and welding a flat sheet into a tube, then mechanically formed into widely spaced, rounded folds.
  • Welded Leaf Bellows: Made from thin, washer-like plates welded together on both the inside and outside, with more folds per unit length than formed bellows.
  • Same for both bellows types, but formed bellows are 2-3 times longer than welded leaf bellows for the same stroke rate.
  • Lower end and stem assembly are welded using automated seam welding.
  • Upper end is welded onto the connecting plate, forming a metal shield to prevent valve stem leakage.
  • Precisely ground sealing surface, pressure tested to ensure no leakage.
  • Positioned on the bellows as an auxiliary seal for enhanced durability and protection.

Multi-layer design allows them to handle up to 10,000 open/close cycles at the highest pressure using hydroforming.

How Does Bellow Seal Globe Valve Work

Bellow Seal Globe Valve 24
A Bellows Seal Globe Valve is a compact control valve that uses bellows to seal the valve stem components. Inside the valve, the lower end of the stainless-steel bellows is welded to the stem to protect it from erosion by the system fluid. The other end of the bellows is positioned between the valve body and the valve cover to create a permanent seal.
 
This double seal configuration eliminates leakage, as stem packing will prevent further leakage even if the bellows collapses. The bellows are welded to the valve stem to maintain stable operating efficiency and reduce vibration of the valve stem caused by the movement of the valve insert.

Advantages of Bellows Seal Globe Valve

  • The primary advantage of a bellows valve is its double seal design (bellows and packing). Even if the bellows fail, the stem packing will prevent leakage, meeting international sealing standards.
  • It minimizes loss of medium fluid, contributing to safety and environmental protection, and ultimately enhancing plant safety where the valve is installed.
  • It can serve as an energy saver by reducing energy losses due to leakage.
  • Reduced leakage minimizes the need for frequent valve maintenance, leading to a longer valve life.
  • A longer service life results in reduced operating and maintenance costs.
  • The bellows seal design prevents leakage from the valve stem, providing maintenance-free operation.
  • Installing a bellows valve improves the safety of working personnel by minimizing emissions of flammable, toxic, and hazardous chemicals.

Comparison of Bellows Seal Globe Valve with Normal Valves

Leakage Prevention

In systems using gland packing valves, such as gate or ball valves for heated oil transfers, there is a high risk of hot oil spillage due to the permeability of heated oil being about 50 times that of steam. This can lead to significant equipment and property damage. The bellows valve, due to its design, provides a complete seal, preventing any leakage.
 

Graphite Packing Issues

Ordinary valves with graphite packing often fail to provide effective sealing, leading to frequent leakage. If the graphite in the packing is not pure, its oil resistance is compromised. Heated oil interacting with graphite fillers can cause impurities to separate and flow with the oil, worsening leakage issues.
 

High-Temperature Performance

Ball valves used with heated oil may experience rapid deterioration of internal PTFE if it is not resistant to high temperatures, leading to valve leakage. In contrast, the bellows valve’s internal parts, made of stainless steel, can withstand temperatures up to 425°C.

Durability and Cost Efficiency

The bellows valve typically has a lifespan exceeding three years. For systems handling heated oil, bellows shut-off valves are preferred over ordinary seal valves to maintain reliable operation and reduce running costs.

Selection Guide for Bellows

Diameter and Ratio

Select the inner diameter of the bellows based on the valve stem diameter, making sure it exceeds 115 mm. The outer diameter is determined relative to the inner diameter, with a typical ratio of 113 to 115 mm between the two.

Design Specifications

The bellows’ wall thickness, number of layers, number of corrugations, and length must meet the requirements for pressure resistance, stroke, and cycle life. Higher pressure requires thicker bellows. To increase displacement or extend life, reduce the thickness of each layer and increase the number of layers.

Pressure and Ply Design
For higher pressure applications, consider a multi-ply bellows design. Using 2 or 3 layers increases the pressure rating by 80% to 100% compared to a single-ply bellows of the same thickness. Alternatively, a single-ply bellows with the thickness of a two-ply bellows results in a reduced stroke length.
 
Operational Considerations

Follow the designed guide structure to avoid bellows distortion. Prevent local contact between the valve stem and bellows to reduce wear and premature failure. The design should prevent twisting and torsional deformation, and the bellows stroke should not exceed 25% of its free length to maintain cycle life.

Testing and Material

Bellows should match the pressure and temperature grades of the Bellows Seal Globe Valve. They must withstand a pressure test at 38°C and up to 115 times the nominal pressure at 38°C. The material used should be compatible with the medium, have good formability, and welding performance.

Application Range of Bellows Seal Globe Valve

Bellows valves effectively eliminate the risk of leakage in process fluids, making them ideal for applications where leakage is unacceptable. They are particularly suited for handling highly hazardous materials such as hydrogen, ammonia, chlorine, and other poisonous or explosive substances.
 
These valves are also suitable as shut-off valves for pipelines carrying heat-conducting oil, toxic, flammable, highly permeable, environmentally polluting, and radioactive fluids. They are a high-quality choice for creating a leak-free environment in various industrial settings.
 
Bellows seal globe valves are extensively used in industries such as petrochemical, electronics, and vacuum technology, among others.

Precautions for Bellows Seal Globe Valve

Read Warnings and Instructions

To prevent damage or injury to personnel and equipment, always read all warnings and instructions. Improper re-conditioning, using foreign replacement parts, or incorrect maintenance can lead to reduced efficiency, injury, or damage.

Double Seal for Corrosive Environments

In highly corrosive chemical environments, use double seal bellows to provide two layers of protection. A smell of media in the air or a wet valve cover usually indicates damage to the bellows.
 

Replace Damaged Bellows Promptly

Replace damaged bellows as soon as possible to avoid prolonged issues, safety hazards, and potential damage to the entire valve. This can be done by the user or the manufacturer.

Avoid Over-Tightening Gland Nut

Avoid excessively tightening the gland nut, as it can lead to excessive packing wear and restrict the movement of the plug stem.

Reasons for Leakage of Bellow Seal Globe Valve

There are many reasons for the leakage of a Bellows Seal Valve. Bellows valve leakage is generally divided into internal leakage and external leakage.

Leakage often occurs because the liquid medium contains solid impurities that damage the sealing surface, leading to failure. Analysis of on-site usage reveals that leakage of the valve stem is primarily related to the valve structure, working environment, and operation mode.
 
The valve stem features a double-sealing structure with bellows and packing. The bellows are welded with both the inner and outer lining rings, forming an assembly attached to the valve stem and guide body. This setup blocks medium leakage through the valve stem.
However, if the valve is opened excessively, the flat key can embed in the PTFE packing, causing the bellows assembly to be damaged and resulting in medium leakage along the valve stem.

Tensile elongation and compression of the bellows valve can lead to leakage if these forces exceed the design limits. Excessive tension or compression may damage the bellows, causing hose rupture and seal failure. To address this, a limit device should be added to keep the bellows expanding and contracting within the design range during valve operation.
