Why are sealing devices required 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. Prevention of medium leakage and protection of packing
Prevent medium leakage: When gate valves and globe valves are in the closed state, the valve stems remain at rest. If there is no upper sealing device, the medium may seep upward along the gap between the valve stem and the valve body, causing the medium to leak out. The upper sealing device can effectively prevent the leakage of the medium and ensure the working performance and safety of the valve.
