Project 2

 

The following data are taken from Mcmaster-Carr Catalog (http://www.mcmaster.com/#globe-valves/=9kmm7e). Design a similar valve with the following specifications:

·         Use cast steel for the valve body. Design the body interior to be streamlined for good casting and good flow characteristics.

·         Have flange ends instead of threaded connections

·         Use power screw in the stem

·         Ensure that that the valve can be opened/closed manually

Note: You may need to disassemble a valve to better understand its workings. A typical valve used for irrigation or plumbing has many similar components.

Super-High-Pressure Steel Globe Valves

 

·         Max. Pressure for Water, Oil, and Inert Gas: 1975 psi @ 100° F

·         Max. Pressure for Steam: 715 psi @ 800° F

·         Temp. Range: -20° to +800° F

Ideal for use in petroleum, chemical, and power-processing systems, body and disc are forged steel for strength in extreme-pressure applications. Connections are NPT female. Packing is graphite. Stem is rising. Valves meet API (American Petroleum Institute) 602, ASTM A105N, and are rated Class 800.
