Advantages and Disadvantages of  Gate Valves

Advantages and Disadvantages of  Gate Valves

Gate valve refers to the valve whose closing part (gate) moves vertically along the axis of the passage. It is mainly used as cutting medium in the pipeline, i.e. fully open or fully closed. Generally, gate valve can not be used as flow regulation. It can be applied to low temperature pressure can also be applied to high temperature and high pressure, and according to the different material of the valve. But gate valves are generally not used in pipelines for conveying mud and other media.

SGV Wedge Gate Valve

SGV Wedge Gate Valve

Gate valve can only be fully open/close, and can not be used as adjusting valve.
In a wedge gate, the seats are not parallel, but taper inward from top to bottom. The discs are also tapered.The trim of wedge gate valve is wedge, which is vertical to medium flow direction. When the discs are forced into the seats, the wedging action provides the sealing force. That is effective for sealing, but one of the drawbacks of a wedge gate is the discs can get ‘stuck’ in the seat, especially if there is a great change in system temperature from when the valve is closed.
Wedge gate valve can be a unique type called inflexible disc; and can also be a flexible wedge.Gate valve under low pressure occasion, disc is forced to set to guarantee sealing; while disc is forced to contact another seat by high pressure condition. There is a slot structure inside the cavity to make sure the disc will not rotate under pressure, and also guarantee there is no friction before close position between seat and disc, thus reduces frictions on sealing face.

Wedge gate valve of Sangong has following advantages

1. Product fabrication is strictly according to API 600, full port design, on full open position, valve disc is higher that flow direction to guarantee flow smoothly, reduce pressure loss, high transmission efficiency.
2. For carbon material valve, seat is forged, high density, good sealing capacity. Sealing face use 13Cr or Stellite hard alloy material, overlay net thickness is over 2mm, valve seat is threaded or welded on the valve body, easy to maintain and dissemble.
3. Adopt rising stem, stem and disc is connected by a T shaped groove, T head and stem is forged together to guarantee enough connection strength. Flexible disc structure can avoid stuck caused by heat inflation
4. Back seal design will protect packing when valve is fully opened. Packing is flexible graphite, good sealing capacity, and also venting system is available. Packing bush and gland are ball structure, pressure process will enable the stem to automatically centralized, avoid stem stuck.
5. Bolted bonnet structure and thick hex nut fastening parts will ensure reliable function. Gasket adopt flexible graphite twist stainless steel or octagonal ring to get good sealing effect
6. Top entry nut design assures that, when the valve is open, even if demount the hand-wheel, stem and disc will not fall down. Stem is made by Aluminum bronze, and both sides set bearing, all this made the valve easy to operate.

Bellow Seal Valves:Gate,Globe Valve

A valve with a bellows to seal off the stem enclosure is an ideal choice whenever leakage to the atmosphere is intolerable due to toxicity, chemical corrosion, radioactivity, other health or ecological reasons. In addition, seal welding the body-bonnet seal makes the valve hermetically sealed. The bellows is welded to the stem and to the bottom of the bonnet.
Supplier: Sangong Valve, China
Manufacturer: Shop in Wenzhou Oubei Industrial Park

Bellow seal valve is designed with bellow welded onto the bonnet and stem, so that when the stem travels drive the below expansion or decompression. It inherently eliminate the conventional design of possible stem packing leakage. SGV bellow sealed valves can achieve truly zero leakage; ideal for stringent leakage-free application like toxic and flammable services. Bellow seal valve is an ideal choice whenever leakage to the atmosphere is intolerable due to toxicity, chemical corrosion, radioactivity, other health or ecological reasons. In addition, seal welding the body-bonnet seal makes the valve hermetically sealed. Continue reading “Bellow Seal Valves:Gate,Globe Valve”

About Gate Valve

The gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a round or rectangular gate/wedge out of the path of the fluid. The distinct feature of a gate valve is the sealing surfaces between the gate and seats are planar, so gate valves are often used when a straight-line flow of fluid and minimum restric­tion is desired. The gate faces can form a wedge shape or they can be parallel. Gate valves are primarily used to permit or prevent the flow of liquids, but typical gate valves shouldn’t be used for regulating flow, unless they are specifically designed for that purpose. Because of their ability to cut through liquids, gate valves are often used in the petroleum industry. Continue reading “About Gate Valve”
