Forged Steel Gate Valve

The opening and closing parts of Forged Steel Bellows Gate Valves are plug valves, the sealing faces are flat or conical, and the disc moves along the centerline of the fluid in a straight line. The motion form of the stem has the lifting rod type (the stem lift, the handwheel not lifting), also the lifting and rotating rod type (the handwheel and the stem rotates with the lift, the nut is located on the body). The corrugated valve is only suitable for full opening and full closing, and no adjustment and throttling are allowed. Valves of this type should be installed horizontally in pipes.

KOSEN Cast steel Gate Valves are primarily used for stop valves fully opened or fully closed .They are not normally considered for throttling purposes,but more for slurries,viscous fluids,etc. Gate valves are characterized by a traveling wedge ,which is moved with the operation of the stem nut. Gate valves usually have a minimum pressure drop when fully open,provide tight shut-off when fully closed,and remain relatively free of contamination buildup.

KOSEN Cast Bronze Gate Valves are designed and manufactured to ensuru leakage of less tjan 100 ppm(parts per million) of volatile organic compounds. Extensive base line laboratory testing (static and cycle testing) has been performed establishing critical design parameters necessary to achieve low emission sealing in the KOSEN stem packing seal area and in the bonnet gasket sealing area, in-house testing procedure has been developed and is periodically performed to ensure that standard product design and manufacting criteria consistently result in the KOSEN Cast Bronze Gate Valve meeting a maximum of 100ppm Voc leakage prior to shipment.

The stem nut of the hidden gate valve is directly contacted with the medium in the valve body. When the gate is opened and closed, it is realized with the rotating stem. The advantage of this structure is that the height of the gate valve keeps constant, so the installation space is small, and it is suitable for large caliber or gate valves with limited installation space. Such a structure should be equipped with an opening and closing indicator to indicate the degree of opening and closing.
