FORGED STEEL
GATE VALVES
Forged steel gate valves are designed for high-performance in demanding industrial applications. They provide a reliable solution for the isolation of process fluids in pipelines, ensuring minimal turbulence and pressure drop when open.
​
Key Features:
​
Material Construction:
-
Body and Bonnet: Made from high-quality forged steel (e.g., A105N, LF2, F304/L, F316/L), ensuring excellent durability and resistance to harsh conditions.
-
Trim Options: Available with various trim materials to suit different applications and media.
​
Design Specifications:
-
Size Range: Typically available from 1/4 inch to 3 inches.
-
Pressure Ratings: Ranges from Class 150 to Class 2500, accommodating a wide range of pressure requirements​.
-
End Connections: Options include threaded, socket weld, flanged, and butt weld connections, providing flexibility in installation​.
​
Bonnet Designs:
-
Bolted Bonnet: Provides a secure seal and easy maintenance.
-
Welded Bonnet: Offers additional strength and integrity for high-pressure applications​​.
​
Operational Features:
-
Outside Screw and Yoke (OS&Y): Ensures that the threaded part of the stem is outside the fluid flow, reducing wear and tear.
-
Rising Stem: Provides a visual indication of valve position, enhancing operational safety​​.
​
Compliance and Certifications:
-
Standards: Designed and manufactured in accordance with API 602, ASME B16.34, NACE MR-0175, and NACE MR-0103 standards.
