Models And Specifications

Mark One Globe Valve
The Mark One is designed for most gas and liquid
applications. The valve’s unique construction handles
pressures from vacuum to 15,000 psi (1034 Bar) and
temperatures from -423O to 1500O F (-253O to 816O C).
The Mark One uses a spring cylinder actuator for stiff-
ness, high positioning accuracy, repeatability, con-
trolled high speed, and instant response. Because the
cylinder is rated up to 150 psi (10.3 Bar) air supply, the
actuator has the thrust necessary to shutoff against high
fluid pressures. [Note: 150 psi (10.3 Bar) is rated for
sizes 25, 50 and 100 cylinders; others may be rated at
lower pressures.] The spring, the air supply pressure,
the fluid pressure itself, and a self-aligning seat ring all
contribute to exceptionally tight shutoff.
Most common maintenance and operational problems
with globe valves can be traced to cage-guiding, where
the plug head is guided in a metal cage. The close E0150

metal-to-metal contact between the cage and plug often

results in galling and sticking. However, the Mark One Figure 2-1: Mark One
is designed with double-top stem guiding that is out of

Severe Service Valves
Valtek has engineered several special trims to handle
high pressure drop service. The trims are designed to
eliminate cavitation, reduce high noise levels and
handle flashing applications often associated with high
pressure drop service.
The ChannelStream cartridge uses specially designed
channels and intersecting holes (plenums) in series to
prevent single point, large pressure recovery which can
cause cavitation and hydrodynamic noise.
For less serious cavitation applications, Valtek offers a
CavControl retainer that minimizes cavitation damage
by controlling the location of imploding vapor bubbles.
The MegaStream attenuator reduces gaseous noise
levels up to 15 dBA with staged pressure reduction
through a series of drilled-hole cylinders.
Tiger-Tooth stacks effectively reduce gaseous and
hydrodynamic noise levels up to 30 dBA and eliminate
the damaging effects of cavitation in liquids.
