3 Design and principle of oper-
ation
The Type 3241G Valve is a single‑seated
globe valve. It is combined with a SAMSON
Type 3271 or Type 3277 Pneumatic Actua‑
tor, solenoid valve and strainer (see Fig. 5).
Optionally, a positioner can be used.
The seat (4) and plug with plug stem (5) are
installed in the body (1). The plug stem is
screwed to the plug stem with bellows seal
(37). The plug stem is sealed by the metal
bellows and the packing (15). The stem con‑
nector clamps (A26/27) connect the actua‑
tor stem (A7) of the mounted actuator.
The bellows seal (22) is fitted with a test con‑
nection (42). It can be used to monitor the
sealing ability of the bellows.
A strainer installed upstream of the valve
body. It prevents solid particles in the pro‑
cess medium from damaging the valve. The
strainer is not required when a central strain‑
er facility is installed.
Note
For special versions made of A216 WCC or
A351 CF8M in Class 300: as a DIN version
of the Type 2 NI Strainer is only available, a
central strainer facility must be installed
when an ANSI version is used.
The springs in the pneumatic actuator are lo‑
cated either above or below the diaphragm
depending on the selected fail‑safe action
(see section 3.1). A change in the signal
pressure acting on the diaphragm causes the
16
plug to move. The actuator size is deter‑
mined by the diaphragm area.
The process medium flows through the strain‑
er and the valve in the direction indicated by
the arrow. A rise in signal pressure causes
the force acting on the diaphragm in the ac‑
tuator to increase. The springs are com‑
pressed. Depending on the selected direction
of action, the actuator stem retracts or ex‑
tends. As a result, the plug position in the
seat changes and determines the flow rate
through the valve.
