Installation direction of 6.4MP globe valve DN25 (medium: steam)
Thread Content
Could some expert please advise on the installation direction of a 6.4MP globe valve with DN25 size, for use with steam as the medium?
It should be installed according to the flow direction of the steam as indicated in the flowchart; the direction of the stop valves must match the flow direction of the steam, and low-pressure valves should have steam entering from the lower side and exiting from the higher side.

The direction of the stop valve must be in line with the flow direction of the steam; the valve should have steam entering at the lower side and exiting at the higher side.
The structural requirement for a stop valve is that the flow direction of the medium should be from low to high
It’s not necessarily the case that low input leads to high output; high input with low output also helps prevent the valve core from being washed away by the medium: lol, and with reverse-sealing packing, it’s no problem :)
