Can a pneumatic globe valve of around DN40 be installed on a vertical pipeline?
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone: can a pneumatic globe valve of around DN40 be installed on a vertical pipeline? When a pneumatic globe valve is installed on a vertical pipeline with the pneumatic actuator in a horizontal position, will this affect the structural safety of the actuator?
It can be installed vertically on the pipeline, but it is necessary to consider whether the fluid is at low temperature or at high temperature; if it is a low-temperature or high-temperature fluid, the valve cover needs to be extended to prevent excessive contact between the fluid and the packing. The filler’s lifespan is affected by the sealing performance. It is also best not to install it vertically; an installation angle of 15° could be considered.
It can be installed vertically; pneumatic diaphragm control valves can also be installed vertically.
Thank you all, :victory::victory::victory:
As long as it’s not installed upside down, it should be fine
It’s possible, but additional support from the actuator is needed; inform the manufacturer in advance
It is not recommended to install stop valves vertically! What medium? Can a ball valve suffice?
It can be installed vertically, but this is not recommended, as under the influence of gravity, the actuator may cause the valve stem to deform when installed vertically, which can lead to the valve sticking or even damage to the packing and resulting in leaks! If the process conditions require vertical installation, try to add supports to the actuator to hold it up and reduce the impact of its weight!
Does a valve as small as DN40 still need support? Among the DN400 valves on site, some are installed vertically, which causes deformation of the valve stem
What type of stop valve? Take a photo to see how big the actuator is; only then will you know
