Application:
As a shut-off valve for: non-corrosive liquids, water, saturated steam, oil, air, crude oil and
crude oil products. Operation parameters are
in accordance with ASME/ANSI B 16.34
standard. Application for other working
media or higher temperatures must be
consulted with the manufacturer. Standard
ambient temperature: from -13°F to + 122°F
(-25°C to +50°C). Application for different
working conditions must be discussed with
the manufacturer.
Characteristics of working conditions for
materials:
Pressure-temperature ratings per ANSI
B16.34.
Technical description:
Steel gate valve design complies to API 600
and BS 1414.
Gate valves are yoke, flanged or with butt-weld ends, with full bore, flexible
wedge. Bodies, bonnets and yokes are cast. Wedges
may be cast or forged. All wedges are guided.
Sealing seats are screwed or welded into
a body. Seats have hard-metal overlay.
The valves have rising, non-rotary stem
bolted body-bonnet joint. Standard stem
threads are Acme 2G-LH.
Gate valves are controlled by handwheel.
After agreement they can be supplied with
bevel gear box or electric servomotor. Larger
sizes 8"of gate valves provided with bearings
for easier operation.
Packing material - die formed rings of
expanded graphite and braided graphite rings.
Gate valve packing meet requirements of
Clean Air Amendment Act of 1990.Upon special customer´s requirement, gate
valves may be equipped with: drainage,
deaeration, - bypassing from interspace, bypasses.
