    Valve Design: Body-Bonnet Connections

    Uploaded by

    Threaded bonnets are used for low pressure plumbing, but tend to distort over time, while union, bolted, and pressure seal bonnets are required for critical applications involving safety. Rising stem valves keep stem threads outside the body to protect from corrosion and debris, while non-rising stem designs have less headroom needed but can damage stem threads. Gate valves commonly use solid wedge discs due to simplicity, while flexible wedge discs compensate for temperature and pressure changes at lower torque.

    VALVE DESIGN

    BODY-BONNET CONNECTIONS

    Threaded bonnets are generally applicable only for non-critical services such
    as plumbing and heating shutoff in low pressure lines. This design is the
    simplest and least expensive, but tends to distort over time making
    reconditioning difficult.

    Critical services, involving applications which could endanger persons or


    property, require union bonnets, bolted bonnets, or pressure seal bonnets.
    The union bonnet design offers easy coupling and uncoupling, and is
    therefore favored where the use of soft metal or composition discs requires
    periodic replacement. Bolted and pressure seal designs are utilized with
    larger sizes and higher pressure applications.
    Outside Screw and Yoke
    STEM CONSTRUCTION Rising Stem

    RISING STEM -OUTSIDE SCREW AND YOKE


    This design keeps stem threads outside the body in order to avoid the
    damaging effects of high temperature, corrosives, and inline solids inside the
    valve. When the handwheel is turned, the stem rises as the yoke bushing
    engages the stem threads. External threads afford easy lubrication, but care
    must be taken to protect threads from damage.

    RISING STEM - INSIDE SCREW


    This stem design is most commonly used in bronze gate valves. Since the
    handwheel and stem both rise, adequate clearance for operation must be
    provided. The stem and handwheel position indicates the position of the
    disc inside the valve. Care must be taken to protect the stem externally.

    NON-RISING STEM - INSIDE SCREW


    This design requires minimum headroom for operation. Since the stem does Inside Screw, Rising Inside Screw
    Stem and Handwheel Non-Rising Stem
    not travel vertically, packing wear is reduced. Heat, corrosives, and inline
    solids may damage stem threads, however, and cause excessive wear. It is
    also impossible to visually determine the position of the disc, unless valve is
    fitted with an Indicator device.

    DISC CONSTRUCTION

    GATE VALVES
    The solid wedge disc is the most widely used design in gate valve
    construction due to its simplicity and versatility. Gate valves with this disc
    may be installed in any position. The solid wedge disc is particularly suitable
    for steam service where a split or double disc would chatter.
    Solid Wedge Flexible Wedge
    Flexible discs are wedge-seated with disc faces joined at the center by a
    hub. This design enables the disc faces to independently compensate for
    variable temperatures and pressures, and allows valve operation at lower
    torques.

    Split disc , double disc or parallel slide is especially suitable for use with
    non-condensing gases and liquids at normal temperatures. Disc halves are
    forced outward against the body seats by a disc spreader when crosing the
    valve, but only after the disc assembly has been lowered into seating
    position. In opening the valve, pressure on the disc is relieved before being
    raised to avoid wear on body seats. Valves with this disc design are
    recommended for vertical installation only.

    VALVE DESIGN
    GLOBE VALVES

    Discs and seats in most globe valves can be repaired or replaced without
    removing the valve body from the line.

    Teflon or composition discs are especially suitable for tight shutoff of


    gases. They are also suitable for most general services such as steam,
    water, and gasoline. Solid particles may be embedded In service without
    effecting tight shutoff. Teflon or composition discs are not recommended for
    severe throttling applications.
    Teflon I Composition Disc
    Conical discs can be reground and so are desirable for services that result
    in deposit build up on seating services. This design is usually found in
    bronze valves with bronze or other corrosion resistant seats.

    Tapered plug discs have wider seating contact than the conical design, and
    are suitable for severe throttling applications.

    The needle-type disc is used for exacting flow regulation, usually in


    instrumentation.

    The screw down check-type disc, commonly referred to as "stop check,"


    permits globe and angle valves to serve as check valves. In the open

    position, the disc slides freely on the stem, and will seat to stop or check
    reversal of flow.

    END CONNECTIONS

    THREADED
    Tapped with female taper pipe threads, threaded end connections are the
    least expensive and lightest in weight.

    SOCKETWELD
    Socketweld ends are pipe size and are recommended with high temperature
    Threaded & Buttweld
    and pressure applications where absolutely tight, leakproof connections Socketweld
    must be maintained over a long period.

    BUTIWELD
    Like socketweld the buttweld end is a leakproof connection suitable for
    severe and high pressure applications.

    FLANGED
    Flanged ends provide a strong, tight joint and are generally used for line
    sizes above 3" that must be assembled and disassembled frequently.

    SOLDER
    Flanged
    Solder ends are socket ends for tube size applications and mostly used with
    Types K, L, and M copper tubing for low pressure services. Maximum
    temperature applications may not exceed 250° F due to the low melting
    point of solder.

    SILBRAZE
    Silbraze ends are used with IPS sized copper or coppernickel pipe. The
    brazed silver solder joint is superior to a standard soldered joint, having
    higher pressure and temperature holding properties.
