Last week, in Part 1, we explored how the Y-body design reduces pressure loss by creating a smoother flow path. Hydraulic performance, however, is only one part of the equation. A valve installed in high-pressure steam or feedwater service must also withstand extreme...

Globe valves have long been recognised for their excellent shut-off and flow regulation capabilities. However, they also have one important drawback: pressure loss. This is precisely the problem that Y-body globe valves were designed to solve. A Y-body globe valve...

Quick closing non-return valves (QCNRVs), also known as steam extraction check valves, protect steam turbines from reverse flow in steam extraction lines. But have you ever wondered why these valves use different shaft configurations? The answer lies in the way the...

Ball valves have been widely used in industrial installations for decades because they combine quick operation, reliable shut-off and very low pressure drop. In full bore configurations, pressure losses remain close to those generated by an equivalent section of...
