Operating Principle of  Bellow Seal Globe Valves:

The Bellow Seal Globe Valve is designed to regulate the flow and ensure effective shut-off where minimum external leakage should be achieved. The bellows made of steel provide complete isolation between the media in the pipeline and the environment.

The design of the bellow seal globe valve allows accurate throttling but also ensures tight shut-off. There is a backup sealing arrangement in the form of the graphite packing which guarantees effective functioning at high temperatures and pressures. The valve can be used with steam, hydrogen, chemicals, hot oil, and other process media.
