The purpose of extension long stem for valve mainly for three reason: Low temp. medium , High temp. medium, Remote operation. 1. Low temp. medium, to reduce heat transportation, keep neck packing warm enough. so long stem was adopted. 2. High temp. medium, to have better heat radiation,to keep neck packing cool enough and also easy for operator touch, extension was considered. 3. Remote control, to enable operator control valve far from pipe valve, extension can also be used.
For center disc butterfly valve, extension long stem only working for limited working temp. scope. They only have one reason: remote control. So the operetor can control valve at safety and convient position.
