Working Principles &amp; Types \u2013 This is the question we will talk about through this article. The linear motion valve is made up of a closure member that moves in a straight line in order to start, stop, or throttle the flow. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various types of closure devices, including discs, slats, and flexible materials such as diaphragms.

Their ease of use and simple design have made them extremely common. These valves, also referred to as multi-turn valves, use a sliding-stem design to control the position of a closure element. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The design options and size options available on these types of valves make them highly versatile. Furthermore, linear-motion valves are more resistant to cavitation compared to rotary valves. In spite of their higher cost, linear valves offer precision and 1:1 linear flow control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The closure member of linear motion valves moves linearly in order to change the flow rate through the valve. They are generally referred to as linear motion valves because of the shape of their closure member. A linear motion valve can be a <b>globe valve<\/b>, <b>gate valve<\/b>, <b>diaphragm valve<\/b>, or <b>pinch valve<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Globe Valve<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The globular cavity around the valve seat is what gives globe valves their name. Closure members on globe valves consist of plugs with flat or convex bottoms that slide into a horizontal seat in the middle of the valve. As the plug is raised, fluid can flow through. Despite having good throttling characteristics, globe valves have relatively high-pressure drops because the flow path isn&#8217;t linear. The pressure drop associated with globe valves is acceptable in throttling applications and shut-off procedures. Z body, Y body, and angle body designs are the three primary body designs for globe valves.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17712\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17712\" style=\"width: 921px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17712\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/globe-valve-diagram.webp\" alt=\"What Is Linear Valve?

Due to their design, gate valves can only be used in the fully-open or fully-closed position and are typically found in flow shutoff applications. In the fully open position, the disc completely exits the flow stream. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the gate valve is completely open, it presents virtually no resistance to flow, so it operates with a low-pressure drop. The flow throttling characteristics of gate valves are very poor, and they are not used as throttling devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18228\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18228\" style=\"width: 1028px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18228\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gate-Valve.png\" alt=\"What Is Linear Valve\" width=\"1028\" height=\"561\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gate-Valve.png 1028w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gate-Valve-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gate-Valve-1024x559.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Gate-Valve-768x419.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1028px) 100vw, 1028px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18228\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gate valve working principle (Reference: <strong>hpdconsult.com<\/strong>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Diaphragm Valve<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diaphragm valves work by deforming a flexible surface (the diaphragm) using the working pressure. Diaphragm valves are primarily advantageous because they do not have stem seals. Diaphragm valves are mainly used to stop slurries or viscous liquids from flowing. They may also be used to throttle fluid flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diaphragm valves may be used for pumping applications that require constant pressure to be applied to the diaphragm. This prevents flow without a motive force (pump), but when there is sufficient pressure to exceed the force on the diaphragm, it allows the flow to continue.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18229\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18229\" style=\"width: 1004px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Diaphragm-Valve.png\" alt=\"What Is Linear Valve\" width=\"1004\" height=\"800\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Diaphragm-Valve.png 1004w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Diaphragm-Valve-300x239.png 300w, https:\/\/www.linquip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Diaphragm-Valve-768x612.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1004px) 100vw, 1004px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18229\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Construction of pinch valve (Reference: <strong>automationforum.co<\/strong>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Pinch Valve<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pinch valve functions similarly to a diaphragm valve, except that the entire valve body is flexible, and the closure member closes the valve off to prevent flow.

Normal flow direction is most often flow-up through the seat ring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various forms of single port valves, such as globe, angle, bar stock, forged, and split. As high-pressure fluid normally fills the entire area of the port, selecting actuators for control valve bodies with single ports should take into account the unbalance force created. Generally speaking, single ported valves are well suited to small sizes, but they can also be used in 4-inch through 8-inch sizes with high thrust actuators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several modern single-ported valve bodies are built like cages to provide guiding for the plug, retain the seat ring, and provide a particular flow characteristic. In addition to offering advantages in ease of maintenance, cage-style trim allows you to change valve characteristics easily by changing the cages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also possible to modify cage-style single-seated valve bodies by changing the trim parts so that the flow capacity is reduced, noise is attenuated, or cavitation problems are abated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These valve bodies feature the following characteristics:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The maximum pressure drop is usually 150 psi (10 bar).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vibrations caused by speed can occur.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, seat rings are screwed in, making it difficult to remove them after use.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The valves are generally designed for applications requiring tight shutoffs. It is possible to handle most service requirements using metal-to-metal seating surfaces or soft seating materials that are made of nitrile or other elastomeric materials forming the seal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Double Port Valve Body<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Double port valves are special trim designs used for the same reasons as pressure-balanced trims: to reduce the force of the process on the plug, thereby reducing the thrust requirement and allowing the use of small actuators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the inlet port, flow is directed into the body gallery and trim, which consists of two seats and a single plug with two plug heads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In refineries, double-ported designs are often used with extremely viscous fluids or where dirt, contaminants, and process deposits are an issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following features are available on port guided double ported valve bodies:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the presence of flow, the dynamic force on the plug tends to be balanced since one port opens and the other closes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The capacity of bodies of the same line size is generally higher than that of single ported valves.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, many double-ported body valve plugs are reversible, so they can be installed either as push-down-to-open or push-down-to-close valve plugs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A port-guided valve plug is typically used for on-off or low-pressure throttling applications. In severe service conditions, top-and-bottom guided valve plugs provide stable operation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Three-Way Valve Body<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two types of three-way valves are available: a double-seated valve and a single-seated valve. They each have different applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The double-seated configuration is typically used for diverging (flow splitting), while the single-seated configuration is used for mixing (flow mixing). Valve bodies of this type have cage-like trim that provides good valve plug guiding and is easy to maintain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In refineries and chemical plants, three-way valves are often used around heat exchangers to control heat transfer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Linear_Characteristic_Valve\"><\/span><b>Linear Characteristic Valve<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of linear characteristic valves, their position is linearly related to their flow rate. Depending on the position of the valve stem, the flow through a linear valve varies. This flow-travel relationship is approximated as a straight line when plotted in rectilinear coordinates, which gives equal volume variations for equal lift changes regardless of the valve opening percent. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Controlling liquid levels with these valves is often used with various flow control applications requiring constant gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are numerous practical applications for linear valves, not only theoretical ones.
