The characteristics of eccentric plug valve |
The plug has an elastomeric coating that seals against a nickel-welded seat in the valve body. The valve shaft is usually integrally cast as part of the valve plug and rotates in stainless steel bearings in the bottom of the valve body and bonnet. The valve's sealing function is aided by "direct pressure" which pushes the valve plug tightly into the seat. The valve will also seal with pressure in the "reverse pressure" direction, but requires turning the valve plug clockwise past the center of the seat. The greater the closing rotation, the tighter the seal due to the eccentric effect. In service, if the valve wears, the valve can be closed further to restore the seal. The most common designs have a cylindrical plug face and a cylindrical seat. The cylindrical seat provides a relatively wide sealing surface. Alternatively, the port and plug face can be rounded, similar to a hemispherical valve. |
