Abstract
There are provided a steam valve and the like capable of preventing breakage of an auxiliary valve element and effectively suppressing the occurrence of a leak of steam in the auxiliary valve element. In the steam valve of an embodiment, the auxiliary valve element is structured to be in an open state in which the valve rod moves in an opening direction to increase a distance between an auxiliary-valve cap and a main valve element, thereby opening an auxiliary-valve steam introduction hole, and to be in a fully-closed state in which the valve rod moves in a closing direction in which the main valve element is closed to bring the auxiliary-valve cap and the main valve element into contact with each other, thereby closing the auxiliary-valve steam introduction holes. A contact position in which the auxiliary-valve cap and the main valve element are brought into contact with each other is located outside in a radial direction of the valve rod from the outer peripheral surface, of the auxiliary-valve tubular part, through which the auxiliary-valve steam introduction holes are formed.
