Control Valves Flashcards

Single Ported Globe Valve
Needs larger actuator
Seals easier

Double Ported Globe Valve
Smaller Actuator (more equalized pressure)
Harder to seal (due to thermal
expansion of parts)

Gate Valve
On / Off
Not good at fine control
little energy loss when open

Diaphragm Valve
for slurries (biphase products with solids)
slurries can damage other kinds of valves
poor fine control

Port Guided Globe Valve
stem can be smaller due to reduced
pressure on stem

Unbalanced Cage Guided Globe Valve
more force required due to difference in pressures
less leaks

Balanced Cage Guided Globe Valve
less force required by stem due to balanced nature
more leaks

Unbalanced Cage Guided Globe Valve Leaks

Balanced Cage Guided Globe Valve Leaks

3 way Globe Valve
for converging or diverging service

Rotary Stem Ball Valve
full bore ball valves have no restriction
when fully open
poor flow control (causes too much turbulence)
characterized or segmented versions have good
shutoff and much better flow control

Rotary Stem Butterfly Valve

Rotary Stem Disk Valve
hard to close completely
eccentric disk valve (variation) shuts
completely (called high performance butterfly valve)
