BELLOW SEAL GATE VALVES

B ellow seal Valves are maintenance free and energy saving product compared to Piston Valves and Conventional Valves.
Typical applications include:- Chlorine, Ammonia, Steam, Thermic fluids, Pesticides, Fatty Acid, Nuclear Waste etc. are just a fraction of the many possible uses. "Zero-Stem" Leakage design eliminates product losses, hazards to humans and the environment and costly downtime ordinarily required for packing maintenance

COMPARISON BETWEEN BELLOW SEAL & PISTON VALVES

Bellow Seal Valves

Piston Valves

Primary stem seal

Metallic Bellow

Piston ring

Secondary stem seal

Gland Packing

None

Stem Leakage

Not Possible since Metallic Bellows are designed to last several thousand cycles

Occurs as soon as the rings (which are made of gasket material)wear out.

Packing Replacement

Not applicable

Rings need to be changed frequently

Replacement Cost

Not applicable

Very high

Media Loss

Zero Loss. As the isolation is by metallic bellows,leakage (in ppm) is not possible.

Large in case of leaks

Equipment Downtime

Nil

Very high for replacing rings

Maintenance Cost

Nil

High as rings need to be changed at least once in six months

Valve Life

High- in years

Low

Safety

Can be used safely for almost any media

Can be used for limited media like steam, hot water

Cost

Comparatively higher initially but lowest total cost of ownership

High compared to the benefits viz a viz problems
