What Is a Bellows Type Steel Globe Valve?
-
Definition
A Bellows Type Steel Globe Valve is a globe valve designed with a bellows seal structure instead of a conventional packing seal. This design ensures complete leak prevention, especially in systems operating under high pressure, high temperature, or containing hazardous liquids and steam. -
Structure of a Bellows Type Globe Valve
-
Body: Made from carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel, capable of withstanding high temperature and pressure.
-
Bonnet: Houses the bellows seal mechanism.
-
Bellows Seal: Made from stainless steel (SS304, SS316L), capable of expanding and contracting to ensure absolute sealing.
-
Stem: Connects the valve disc and controls the opening/closing of the flow.
-
Disc: Regulates the flow of liquid or steam in the system.
-
Handwheel: Used to manually open or close the valve.
-

5 Common Mistakes in Steam Trap Installation That Factories Often Encounter
13/07/2025
In industrial steam systems, steam traps play a crucial role in discharging condensate and air while retaining live steam to optimize system efficiency. However, many factories still face steam loss, energy waste, or equipment damage due to improper steam trap installation. Below are the 5 most common mistakes that engineers and plant operators should avoid: 1. Choosing the Wrong Type of Steam Trap for the Application Many factories select steam traps based on habit or reference from other systems without considering specific factors such as condensate load, pressure, temperature, and the type of steam equipment (e.g., heating, drying, heat exchangers). Real-life example: Using a float trap for a main steam line is inappropriate because float traps are not suitable for large condensate loads or high-pressure systems. Recommendation: Conduct a thorough system survey and select the correct type of trap: float, thermodynamic, inverted bucket, disc, etc., depending on the application. 2. Installing Steam Traps in the Wrong Direction or Position
