Understanding C95800 BronzeWhat is C95800 Bronze?C95800 bronze is a high-performance material known for its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. It is a type of aluminum bronze, characterized by its high strength, toughness, and resistance to wear and tear. These properties make
Floating Ball ValvesDesign and Sealing Mechanism• Floating Ball Design: Floating ball valves feature a ball that is not rigidly fixed to the stem. Instead, it floats within the valve body, allowing it to move slightly under pressure. This movement ensures that the ball remains in contact with the se
I. Structure and MaterialsThe B62 bronze gate valve is made of high-quality bronze material for the valve body, which features excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance. It can resist the erosion of common media such as water and steam, thus extending its service life. The valve body is com
I. Sealing Performance(I) Wedge Gate ValveThe sealing performance of the wedge gate valve mainly depends on the tight combination of the wedge-shaped gate and the valve seat. Its sealing surface forms a certain angle with the vertical centerline (usually 2°52', 3°30', 5°, 8°, 10°, etc.). This design
I. Advantages of Traditional Sealing Design(I) Rigid Gate and Flexible GateThe gate of a wedge gate valve can be designed as a rigid gate or a flexible gate. The rigid gate has strong integrity and is suitable for high-pressure working conditions. The flexible gate, through the elastic groove in the
I. Comparison of Structural Characteristics(I) Wedge Gate ValveThe gate of a wedge gate valve is wedge-shaped, and its sealing surface forms a certain angle with the vertical centerline (usually 2°52', 3°30', 5°, 10°, etc.). This design enables the gate to wedge into the valve seat when closed, form
