In a Gear operated sleeved plug valve, each component has its specific purpose for creating this robust valve design. The main components of a sleeve plug valve are the body, sleeve, cover, top seal, and cover are considered as main valve components.
Body: The body of a sleeved plug valve is cast as a one-piece that provides high integrity. This casting has integral design features that are important for creating key benefits of the product being cavity-free and maintenance-free.
The body casting has 360-degree lips around the ports which keep the sleeve in place preventing sleeve rotation while the valve is being operated. The sleeve relief area present in the body allows the PTFE sleeve to expand and contract during the temperature changes, this relief area also assists in controlling the valve torque.The body of the sleeve plug valve also consists of horizontal and vertical ribs which enables strong sealing capabilities between the sleeve and the plug by creating compression that is needed to maintain the sleeve in its place along with 360-degree lips.
Sleeve: A fluorocarbon sleeve that keeps the tapered plug in place and maintains a continuous seal. The sleeve provides the lubricity required to turn the valve, allowing it to open and close quickly, function without maintenance, be non-sticky, and last longer.
Top Seal: In Gear operated sleeved plug valve design, the top seal ensures that fugitive emissions are kept to a minimum. It complies with or surpasses the most strict regulatory criteria currently in effect. The integrated, flexible graphite stem seal and the graphite cover seal ring ensure sealing where the stem and at the body/cover connects.
Cavity-free design: The cavity-free design is a significant feature of the product and is crucial in applications where solids are present in the media. The key valve components the body the sleeve and the plug are in close contact with each other creating the cavity-free design. This means that there are no spaces between the plug and the body that can trap media when the valve is being operated
