This is a Seatless & Glandless valve . The valve
up to the size 6" do not have any stuffing box. The salient feature
of this valve is that of the piston operation. The piston slides
between the two packing rings made of asbestos / PTFE and do not
rotate, hence there is minimum ware. The only warring part is the
packing ring and that to after an extensive use. The two packing
rings are separated by a ported lantern bush. The bottom ring rests
on a cast machined groove of the body and upper packing ring is
being held and remained pressed by a bonnet on top. The bonnet rests
on the top ring, when tightened evenly by the nut of the stud presses
the lantern bush which in turn presses the bottom ring. This is
done by keeping the valve in closed position. Thus the mechanism
is aligned compressed and ready for operation. Here the bottom ring
of the valve serves the purpose of the seat while the upper ring
serves the purpose of a gland. The advantage of the valve is when
any leakage is observed from the hole of the bonnet, specially provided
for this purpose, it can be stopped on the line. This is done by
tightening the nut of the bonnet evenly, keeping the valve in closed
position. The maximum thickness of the ring is utilized and when
the valve cannot be further tightened to stop the leakage, It is
only required to replace the sealing rings. This can be done on
the line itself. The pressure drop in this valve is considered as
high as 18%.
