- Multi-Ply Bellows Seal Valve
Falcon Flow Control Multi-Ply Bellows Seal Valve
Valves featuring multi-ply metal bellows seals designed for superior flexibility and durability, ensuring a hermetic, leak-tight seal ideal for high-cycle, demanding industrial applications.
Full Description
The Falcon Flow Control Multi-Ply Bellows Seal Valve is engineered with multiple layers (plies) of thin metal bellows welded together, creating a robust and highly flexible sealing element that provides exceptional stem sealing performance.
The multi-ply bellows design significantly enhances flexibility, allowing the valve stem to operate smoothly while maintaining a hermetic seal that prevents fugitive emissions and fluid leakage. This construction also offers improved resistance to fatigue and mechanical stresses compared to single-ply bellows, making these valves suitable for frequent operation cycles and harsh process environments.
Manufactured from premium alloys such as stainless steel and Inconel, these valves are designed to withstand high pressure, extreme temperatures, and corrosive media, making them ideal for critical applications in petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, and power industries.
