Valve designers have come up with techniques of manufacturing both partially and fully jacketed designs. These steam jacketed valves are usually meant to provide reasonable temperature migrations. This occurs whenever steam comes into contact with the valve. Standardized designing uses steel metal and stainless steel. Later the valve is tested with helium.
The process of covering comes in several forms. These forms are always dictated by the needs of the buyer. They may be fully or partially jacketed. The buyer is also likely to be influenced by the type of materials used, the number of ports, type of globes and dimensions among other key components.
Most designs normally involve coverage of the valves from one end of the equipment to the other. No part is left bare. This type of valve coverage is called a full jacketed valve. It comes in several forms depending on the manner of coverage.
Full covering with oversize flanges occurs in valves whose flanges are lengthened. They are normally made to be longer than the normal size. When this happens, the valve is capable of coming into direct contact with the source of heat. This design ensures that there is enough migration of heat to keep crystallization and seizure at bay.
The second variation involves standard flanges. In this one, threaded insertions are used as connectors between flanges. They run from end to end on the hind and fore sides of the valve. They are inserted into ports on the bodies of the valves. It is then wielded to the outer flange diameters before moving into the valve. Threaded studs are applied.
Another way of fully jacketing, though not a genuine way of covering, is use of oversize flange BV. It is also a very critical process in this field. The whole body of this equipment is covered. Only parts at the center are not covered. Mostly, valves covered this way contain two or three ports on each jacket. Normally, they are made as short or long E-E dimensions.
In partial jacketing where standard flanges are used, only the central parts of these valves are heated. The sides and the other parts are left to come into direct contact with heat. This style is commonly applied in valves where the sides do not need to be heated directly. It is good to do this to valves which do not necessarily need to be fully jacketed.
It is advisable to use ordinary steel or stainless steel as raw materials in the covering process. These two are the best materials for use owing to their strength and inability to rust. In addition, they provide effective heat protection when well fabricated. They do not allow leakages of heat to the surrounding.
Summarily, it is important to take some issues into consideration when looking for good valves. One should consider the materials used; steel and stainless metals are good since they cannot be corroded. He/she should also determine whether the design can suit his/her needs. Some valves may not be properly jacketed, and, hence, can leak a lot off heat.
