Gate valve can be used for low temperature and low pressure, also can be used for high temperature and high pressure, according to different valve materials, suitable for a variety of media.
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
The core component of a flexible gate valve is the flexible gate, which is usually made of elastic materials such as rubber or elastic metal. This design allows the gate to produce a slight elastic deformation when closed, thereby compensating for the possible small deviations of the sealing surface
