Why is it necessary to specify a sealing device for gate valves and globe valves
Gate valves and globe valves are required to have upper sealing devices, mainly based on the following considerations:
1、 Prevent medium leakage and protect the filling material
Prevent medium leakage: When the gate valve and globe valve are closed, the valve stem is in a stationary position. If there is no upper sealing device, the medium may penetrate upwards along the gap between the valve stem and the valve body, causing the medium to leak out. The upper sealing device can effectively prevent medium leakage, ensuring the working performance and safety of the valve.
• Packing protection: The packing box is usually made of flexible materials such as asbestos, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc
