Does the shut-off valve have directionality? Why install in the direction?
Globe valve , also known as shut-off valve, belongs to the forced sealing type valve and is a type of shut-off valve. There are three types of connection methods: flange connection, threaded connection, and welded connection. The "Three Modernizations" of valves in our country once stipulated that the flow direction of globe valves should be from top to bottom, so there is directionality during installation. The globe valve is designed with low inlet and high outlet to reduce flow resistance and save effort when opening the valve. When the valve is closed at the same time, the gasket between the valve shell and valve cover, as well as the packing around the valve stem, are not subjected to force and will not be affected by medium pressure and temperature for a long time. This can prolong the service life and reduce the probability of leakage. In addition, this can also replace or add packing when the valve is closed, making maintenance easier. In general, globe valves are l...
