No. | Description | Features and Benefits |
1. | Anti Blow-out Stem | i) Rolled and plated stem threads for excellent Stem performance & extended service life. II) Non Rotating self centering stem tip for superior & repeatable perfect sealing. III) Burnished stem at packing area to ensure low torque operation of the valve & reduction in packing wear. |
2. | Stem Tip | Burnished to achieve high grade surface finish and work hardness for excellence performance and extended service life |
3. | Packing Bolt | Allows packing adjustment in open or close position. |
4. | Packing | Packing below the threads protects the flow stream from lubricant contamination on the threads or wash out and also protect the stem threads from potential damaging effects of the media. |
5. | Locking Pin | To prevent accidental loosening / disassembly of valve. |
6. | Bonnet Lock Nut | For safety to prevent accidental loosening of packing bolt |

STEM TYPE :
SEALEXCEL® Needle Valves are available with choice of optional stem to provide greater flexibility.
NON-ROTATING (NR) : It is Standard self centering non rotating stem tip typically used in high cycle application to extend the valve life.
V-STEM (VS) : It is used for general purpose liquid and gases.
SOFT SEAT (SS) : A soft seat stem requires a lower sealing torque, It is replaceable and suitable for temperature upto 120ºC
REGULATING STEM (RS) : It is used where some degree of flow control required.
TECHNICAL DATA
The Temperature and Pressure rating for a standard valve with PTFE packing
Temperature | Pressure | |
psig | bar | |
-54ºC to 38ºC | 6000 | 408 |
-54ºC to 93ºC | 5160 | 351 |
-54ºC to 148ºC | 4660 | 317 |
-54ºC to 204ºC | 4280 | 291 |
-54ºC to 232ºC | 4130 | 289 |
TESTING :
- Standard Test : Each valve is factory tested with nitrogen at 1000 psig (69 bar) for leakage at the seat and packing.
- Optional Hydrostatic test : This test is performed with de-ionised water at 1.5 time the working pressure.
