The Steam System In Malaysia And Use Of Globe Valve In It

By Dustin Heath

Malaysia has expanded its services within the area of manufacturing control valves for steam system and is keenly producing its parts like the globe valve, gate valves and other such valve types. The steam system is a McKinney heating system which was first introduced in United States of America.

Malaysia has thousands of valve producers and suppliers who expertise in a wide range of valve production; the main ones being, gate valves, butterfly valves, ball valves, globe valves etc. The use of these valves is mainly in hydro electric power plants, water systems, steam systems etc.

The steam system has the maximum use of the globe valve in which the valve has to maintain the pressure between the flowing materials and the control system. The main varieties of the globe valves used are straight flow, angle flow and cross flow. Malaysia is building its own steam system and has large requirement of manpower and industrial control mechanisms as well.

Constructing one's own steam system is a difficult task and the parts used in it have to be of very top quality so that there is a very negligible chance of any catastrophe. Thus in Malaysia the production of the main parts involving the globe valves, gate valves, pipes, boilers, etc are taking place.

Globe valves come under the category of linear movement valves that are significantly used in any steam system. The main advantage of globe valves over the gate valve is their ability to work under high pressure which is the main reason Malaysia is utilizing globe valves instead of gate valves in its steam system.

The globe valves are additionally appropriate for the steam system in Malaysia due to their leak proof property. They are less prone to leakage than the other linear valve types. A steam system needs this high quality and any leakage might not only damage the performance and efficiency of the entire system, but may damage other parts of the system.

In Malaysia globe valve not only find its utilization in the steam systems but also in recycling plants, district heating system, plant industrialization, processing techniques, etc. Their high performance ratio, linear motion structure, ability to work in boiling pressure and leak proof capability makes them best among their other kinds.

The price of any steam system may rely on the material used and the quality of the parts getting used in the construction. For instance, the cost of a globe valve is much less compared to the other parts used in the steam system. Thus Malaysia believes in manufacturing its own tools for any machines thus reducing in the total effective cost of the entire structure of the machine.

The development of a steam system in Malaysia undoubtedly needs good engineering services and lots of manpower and engineers. So for that Malaysia has recently announced recruitment of engineers from all streams for its steam systems projects and also has referred to as for tenders for the supply of various parts and engineering tools for the construction purpose. By doing such a project, the Malaysian government is not only benefiting the citizens but in addition providing employment to many people.
