Globe Valves Β· Bellow Seal Globe Valves
Forged Clampseal Bellows Seal Globe Valves
The forged Clampseal bellows seal globe is the severe-service execution of the bellow-seal principle: a welded multi-ply nickel-chromium alloy bellows carries the stem seal so that no packed-gland leak path reaches the process, in Y-pattern, Angle-pattern and T-pattern forged bodies. The benchmark page sizes the execution through 4 inch NPS at ASME Class ratings through 2500, in SA 105, SA 182 F22/F91/F92 and F316 forgings, with bellows qualified to MSS SP-117 and every assembly helium mass-spectrometer tested to zero leakage.

Application & selection guidance
Select this execution where fugitive emissions or toxic media rule out packed stems: the 6-ply nickel-chromium alloy welded bellows plus a pressure-actuated backseat give a double barrier, and solid cobalt-chrome seats and discs hold shut-off through high cycle and high-velocity duty (a cobalt-free option exists for nuclear and chemical service). Forged SA 182 F91/F92 bodies carry the high-temperature steam end of the envelope; the in-line renewable Clampseal gland keeps lifecycle cost down where access is frequent.
Frequently asked questions
Why a bellows seal instead of a packed stem?
Packed valves need two sliding seal boundaries on the stem; the bellows execution removes both leak paths with a welded 6-ply nickel-chromium alloy bellows, verified by helium mass spectrometer to zero detectable leakage beyond Method 21 protocol - the benchmark choice for light gases and hazardous fluids where fugitive emissions are unacceptable.
What sizes, classes and materials does the execution cover?
The benchmark page lists sizes through 4 inch NPS (from 1/4 inch) with ASME Class ratings through 2500, in standard forgings SA 105, SA 182-F22, SA 182-F91, SA 182-F92 and SA 182-F316 - other materials on request. Bodies come in Y-pattern, Angle-pattern and T-pattern executions with pressure seal bonnets.
How is bellows integrity verified?
Every bellows assembly is tested for zero leakage with a helium gas mass spectrometer before shell and seat leakage testing, and the bellows set meets MSS SP-117 longevity requirements - beyond Method 21 fugitive emissions protocol. The stem is rising and non-rotating so stroke motion never twists the bellows.
Ordering & documentation
Documents
Ask for the documentation set you need with the inquiry β typical items for this execution (material certificates, test reports to the listed inspection standard, dimensional drawings) are confirmed and supplied with the quotation.
Quotation
A quotation-ready inquiry states: nominal size and pressure rating, body and seat material preference, end connection, operation, and the service medium with temperature. Typical values on this page are benchmark reference ranges; the binding values are confirmed at quotation.
Sample & supply
Supply terms, order quantities and lead time are agreed per order β state the destination country and required schedule with the inquiry.
Storage & shipping
Store valves with seats and seals protected from UV, ozone and deformation, keep end-face protectors on until installation, and for elastomer- or PTFE-seated executions avoid prolonged outdoor storage β seat compounds age fastest in direct sunlight and freezing conditions.
