In industrial pipeline systems, valves are crucial components for medium control, and the 36" 150LB WCB FLANGED GATE VALVE is undoubtedly an outstanding representative among them. This gate valve is mainly used to shut off or connect the medium in the pipeline and has a wide range of applications in key industrial fields such as petroleum, chemical engineering, and electric power. During the design and manufacturing process, this gate valve strictly complies with two major international authoritative standards, API 600 and ASME B16.34, thus ensuring its excellent performance and reliability.
API 600 is a gate valve design specification formulated by the American Petroleum Institute. It imposes extremely strict requirements on aspects such as the structural design of valves, material selection, and test methods, aiming to ensure the safety and reliability of valves under extreme working conditions such as high pressure and high temperature. The ASME B16.34 standard covers key parameters such as the pressure-temperature rating and flange connection dimensions of valves, providing a solid guarantee for the standardized design and interchangeability of valves.
The main material of the 36" 150LB WCB FLANGED GATE VALVE is WCB. This material has high strength, good toughness, and excellent corrosion resistance, and can effectively cope with relatively large pressure and temperature changes. Its nominal pressure is 150LB, indicating that this gate valve can operate stably under a pressure of 150 pounds class. And the 36-inch diameter makes it an ideal choice for large-flow pipeline systems.
The advanced configurations and functions of this gate valve are as follows:
Reliable Sealing: It adopts a wedge-shaped flexible gate structure, and the sealing surface has undergone special process treatment, possessing excellent wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and anti-scratch performance, ensuring that the valve maintains excellent sealing performance during long-term use.
Convenient Operation: Medium and large-diameter gate valves are equipped with rolling bearings or thrust bearings, making the opening and closing operations easy and labor-saving. Meanwhile, the valve stem has undergone special treatment and has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, significantly extending its service life.
Strong Adaptability: The valve body is made of WCB carbon steel, which is suitable for a variety of media, including water, steam, oil products, etc., and has a wide working temperature range (-29℃ ~ 425℃), being able to meet the needs of different working conditions.
Standardized Design: It is designed and manufactured strictly in accordance with API 600 and ASME B16.34 standards. With a reasonable structure and a high degree of standardization of parts, it is convenient for installation, maintenance, and replacement.
Safe and Reliable: The valve has passed strict tests according to standards such as API 598, ensuring that it can operate safely and reliably under various working conditions. The backseat sealing design can also ensure reliable sealing when the valve is in the fully open position, effectively preventing medium leakage.
In conclusion, the 36" 150LB WCB FLANGED GATE VALVE, relying on its advanced configurations and powerful functions, has become a reliable guardian in industrial pipeline systems, providing stable medium control solutions for various complex working conditions.
