Superior performance in liquids and gaseous services is the
hallmark of GFlo. Easy, quick and economical maintenance

Galling at cage is the culprit in many common maintenance

with globe valves because of the close metal-to-metal contact
between plug & cage. The GFlo has two top stem guides.
Contact between the plug and seat retainer is completely
avoided in GFlo.Easy and quick maintenance is permitted

Smooth, Streamlined, constant area internal passages with no
pockets, permitting high capacity with minimum turbulence is
what GFlo-style bodies feature. Manufactured in expensive
stainless or alloy steels, they are designed with nearly
constant wall thickness, providing lower weight and cost.

Figure 4: Three-way body configuration

For either combining or diverting flow services, three-way
bodies are used. Owing to MASCOT's excellent design, high
interchangeability; even a standard GFlo valve converts easily
to three-way service with the addition of three-way adopter,
upper seating, two gaskets, three-way plug and longer
bonnet flange studs.

Gaskets and Clamps
The GFlo is uniquely designed with the bonnet and seat ring
gaskets fully protected. Since the bonnet sits metal-to-metal in
the body, the bonnet gasket compression is determined by the
depth of the gasket step on the bonnet, which is machined to
provide the required gasket compression.
When the bonnet is fully installed, force is transmitted through
the seat retainer to secure the seat ring in its position. The
body, seat retainer and seat ring are all machined to close
tolerances to provide the proper gasket compression Unlike
the bonnet, the seat ring does not sit in the body, allowing the
small clearance to compensate for manufacturing tolerances
and thermal expansion.

Yoke Clamps
Usually the actuator is attached to the GFlo body assembly
with two precision cast, stainless steel yoke clamps, although
in some cases the actuator is bolted directly to the bonnet.
Each clamp has an inclined plane surface which, when
bolted together, securely fastens the actuator yoke to the
bonnet. MASCOT's clamp design allows easy removal under
maximum corrosive conditions. Associated bolts and locknuts
are provided in plated carbon steel, but if required, stainless
steel is also available.

The GFlo body & bonnet are of the

same material and can handle
temperatures from -20O F to 750O
F / -30O C to 400 degree
centigrade. For packing limitations,
refer table on page 9.

Prime function of extended bonnet

is to protect the packing from
excessive heat or cold, aiding the
optimal functioning of the valve. It
is from carbon steel for
temperatures from -20O to 800OF /
-30O to 427O C and of 304 or
316 stainless steel for -150O to
1500O F / -100O to 816O C.

The Cold box extended bonnet

allows
stagnated
moderate
temperature gas to form in the
bonnet, while protecting the
packing from the operating fluid.
Usually manufactured from 304 or
316 stainless steel, it handles
temperatures down to -423O F / 253O C. Standard construction
consists of stainless steel bonnet
flange and bolting.

Metal Bellows Seal Bonnet

Whenever service fluid leak to the atmosphere needs reduction to an absolute minimum, metal bellows seal comes in handy. The
standard metal bellows seal is rated for operation in processes ranging in temperature from -320O F to 1100O F / -196O to 593O
C and pressures to 1100 psig / 75.9 Barg. This flexible metal bellows is usually constructed of Inconel 625. Metal bellows can
also be furnished in Hastelloy C-22.
The bellows design seal allows for outside pressure to minimize bellows squirm, prolonging bellows life.
Metal Bellows Seal Bonnet
Protection is provided by the metal bellows seal against the unwanted packing leakage to atmosphere in processes involving
caustic liquids and gases.
The compact, lightweight design makes it ideal for services below 650O F / 343O C and 310 psig / 21.4 Bar G. The precision
formed bellows is available in Inconel or Hastelloy C materials.
Since bellows seals are designed for special service conditions and not for valves design class, it is required to specify the
complete service conditions.

Packing & Guides
Being deeper than the conventional boxes, the MASCOT packaging boxes offer the following advantages:
Advantages of MASCOT packing boxes over the conventional
types of boxes :
1. Space between the wiper set and the main upper packing
avoids contamination of upper packing. The upper set is
positioned very far from wiper set to avoid contact with any
part of the plug stem which is exposed to the flowing
medium. Wiper set wipes clean any fluid on the plug stem.
2. Bonnets are designed to permit wide variety of packing
styles, including double set of packing, without changing
bonnets.
3. When used with GL, large plug stem diameter and two
widely-placed stem guides provide exceptional guiding.

% Valve Stroke

Equal percentage characteristic is the most commonly used in

process control today.
The change in flow per unit of valve stroke is directly
proportional to the flow occurring just before the change is
made.
While the flow characteristic of the valve itself may be equal
percentage, most control loops will produce an installed
characteristic approaching linear when the overall system
pressure drop is large relative to that across the valve.

Linear
On those systems where the valve pressure drop is a major
portion of the total system pressure drop, linear plugs are
used.
Linear inherent characteristic produces equal changes in
flow per unit of valve stroke regardless of plug position.

Trim Types
1. Standard full area trim. Standard full area trim provides
maximum CV.
2. Reduced trim is available in a wide variety of sizes when
lower CVs and large bodies are required.
3. Integral trim uses a special seat machined into the body
and an oversized plug to provide additional CV beyond the
capabilities of full area trim.

Full Area

Reduced

GFlo's valves can be converted from any trim type

to another since all seat rings and plugs with a given size and
pressure class are completely interchangeable. Integral trim is
available by removing the seat ring and by changing the
plug.

Figure 15: Standard Trim

Figure 16: Pressure-balanced Trim

The GL trim is uniquely designed to avoid the difficulties

associated with screwed-in seats and cage-guiding. Removal
of the seat is easy even under extremely corrosive conditions
because the seat ring is in just clamped into the body by the
bonnet and seat retainer.

In case of very high pressure drops, pressure-balanced trim is

used to reduce the thrust necessary to stroke the plug
by reducing the trim off-balance area. Because the
pressure-balanced plug fits closely to the retainer, this
trim should only be used in generally clean services.
Flow direction is under the plug for fail-closed and over
the plug for fail-open. The seal area less the stem area
is designed to be slightly larger than the seat area, thus
the plug is off-balanced to close for flow under the seat
and off-balanced to open for flow over the seat.

GL plugs are double-stem guided, avoiding contact between

the seat retainer and plug, unlike cage-guided trims that
easily gall and stick. Because no contact is made with the
plug, the retainer can be constructed of stainless steel rather
than costly hard materials. The flow characteristic is
determined by the plug contour, and not by the opening in
the retainer.

Soft Seats
In applications needing ANSI Class VI "Bubble-tight" shutoff,
the GL soft seat is used. The design consists of an elastomer
sandwiched
between
two
metal
pieces.
The assembled soft seat is interchangeable with the hard
seat for a given size and pressure rating. Inserts are often
constructed of Teflon, therefore, maximum temperature
should be below 300 O F / 150 O C at 290 psig / 20 Bar G.
For temperatures below -85 O F / -65 O C, Teflon soft seats
can be used in high pressure applications.

Low-noise seat designs have been developed for better

noise control in standard GL valves.
Metal Seats
Class IV shutoff are handled better with metal seated valves.
This class calls for maximum permissible seat leakage of
0.01 percent of rated valve capacity. All MASCOT valves are
seat leak tested after assembly and generally are substantially
lower in leakage than called by the std. Aligning the seat ring
with the plug during assembly gives exceptional seat
tightness. Additional seat tightness using metal seats is also
available.

Material

Except in case of special alloy bodies where trims are

furnished in the same metal as the body, MASCOT's standard
plug and seat ring material is 316 stainless steel. A good
range of services are successfully handled by stainless steel
trim. Nevertheless, a general rule is to consider hard trim for
all choked flow conditions or for temperatures above 600O F
/ 316O C. MASCOT stocks Stellite no. 6 for many valve trim
parts. This material offers a good combination of relative
hardness and corrosion resistance. Special alloys, such as

Severe Service Trims (Cavitation

Control)

Cavitation damage to valve components is effectively

minimized by controlling the location of vapor bubble
implosion in an area away from metal parts in the Mascot
CavFlo trim.
Cavitation Damage - A problem :
Whenever the pressure of flowing liquid through a restricted
area of a control valve drops below the vapor pressure of the
liquid and recovers to a pressure above the vapor pressure,
cavitation damage to control valve and piping components
may occur. In the first stage of cavitation, vapor bubbles
form downstream of the restricted area at the vena contracta
(point of narrowest fluid constraint).
The enlarging passage at downstream of the vena contracta
reduces the velocity and thereby associated pressure
recovery causes the vapor bubbles collapse or implode
suddenly.
This implosion of the bubbles on metal surfaces causes
stresses eventually resulting in tearing away particles of the
metal from the surface towards inward. Cavitations
damages plug and seat of a control valve as throttling
occurs at the restriction in the clearance between the plug
and seat ring. If the vapor bubbles implode near them,
the valve body and piping can also be damaged.
Conventionally harder material is used to minimize

Pressure Profile: Single Seat Valve

Experiencing Cavitation
The impinging fluid jets form an area of pressure recovery and a
fluid cushion. This phenomenon collapses the vapor bubbles in
the fluid stream, away from metal parts preventing damages.
Stepped holes are used to ensure solid flow and not the hollow
tube like flow through the retainer. Thus vena contracta
established outside the retainer and not in the retainer. The
turbulence of the flow inside the retainer promotes collapsing of
the vapor bubbles in the middle of seat retainer, reducing
damage to valve trim. CavFlo Trim fits standard GL series valve
bodies, with pressure-balanced and unbalanced options being
available. Because the valve plug slides in the retainer closely,
regulating the fluid flow through the holes, the fluid must be free
from dirt and pipe muck to avoid seizing of plug with retainer.
Size and spacing of holes in the retainer determine flow
characte ristics and capacity. To achie ve de sire d flo w
characteristic different sizes of holes with variable spacing can
be used on the same size of retainer. CavFlo Trim will always
use flow direction of valves as over the plug.
Standard Materials of Construction

Cavitations Control Trim - A Solution :

Mascot's CavFlo Trim utilizes many small holes for
diametrical flow through the walls of the seat retainer. As the
valve plug lifts, increased pairs of holes are opened. Each
hole discharges a jet of cavitating liquid at the center of
retainer, which impinges with a jet of liquid admitted
through the opposing hole.

MagaFlo trim overcome the problem of control valve noise by

dealing effectively with gaseous pressure reduction, and by
controlling turbulence carried into the downstream piping.

Pressure Profile Single Seat

The Basic Principles In conventional single-throttling-point

globe control valves, a vena contracta (point of greatest flow
constriction) occurs immediately at the downstream of
throttling point. A simplified pressure profile of the fluid as it
passes through the valve shows slight pressure loss in the inlet
and outlet passages, and a substantial reduction of pressure at
the vena contracta. Note that the overall pressure drop
between the inlet and the outlet does not reveal how far the
pressure may have dropped within the valve itself.
The Problem with Gases The problem becomes apparent by
superimposing a velocity profile on the pressure profile,
discussed above. For single-throttling-point control valves,
with the sharp pressure reduction, the velocity will be greatly
increased at the vena contracta. While considerable noise can
be generated as velocities in the valve approach sonic levels,
substantial noise can be generated even where inlet and outlet
velocities are significantly less than sonic.
The Solution Without allowing a sharp pressure drop at the
vene contra reduce the pressure from inlet to outlet gradually.
Thus, gaseous velocities are maintained at remarkable values
throughout the valve and high noise levels are simply not
generated. Also, by breaking the flow into many small flow
streams, turbulent energy is reduced and dissipated. In
addition, noise generated upstream is substantially blocked by
successive stages.
