Bellow Sealed Gate Valves are ultra-critical zero-fugitive-emission isolation valves engineered with a flexible, multi-ply hydroformed metallic bellow cartridge welded directly between the valve stem and bonnet. By replacing traditional dynamic packing friction with a hermetic metallic barrier, bellow sealed gate valves completely prevent toxic gases, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), radioactive media, and hot thermal oil from escaping to atmosphere, satisfying the strictest EPA Clean Air Act and TA-Luft environmental standards.
Zeron Fastners manufactures API 602 and ASME B16.34 Bellow Sealed Gate Valves in Class 150#, Class 300#, and Class 800# in sizes 1/2" to 16". Features multi-ply Inconel 625 or SS 316Ti bellows tested for over 10,000 full stroke cycles, supplemented by a secondary graphite emergency gland packing seal.
