- Single-Ply Bellows Seal Valve
Falcon Flow Control Single-Ply Bellows Seal Valve
Valves featuring a single layer (ply) metal bellows seal providing a hermetic seal for valve stems, ideal for moderate cycle industrial applications requiring reliable leak prevention.
Full Description
The Falcon Flow Control Single-Ply Bellows Seal Valve incorporates a single thin-walled metal bellows welded to the valve stem, creating a flexible, leak-tight barrier that prevents fugitive emissions and fluid leakage. This design offers a straightforward yet effective sealing solution for valve stems, eliminating the need for traditional packing.
Single-ply bellows provide excellent sealing performance in environments with moderate operating cycles and pressure ranges. They are especially suitable for applications where stem movement is minimal but where environmental regulations or process integrity require a reliable seal.
Manufactured from premium corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, these valves are well-suited for chemical processing, power generation, and other industrial sectors. The single-ply design simplifies manufacturing and maintenance while ensuring compliance with emissions standards.
