In the second case the same expansion is also obtained in the valve open position.
Single vs double expanding gate valve.
Each segment is machined with a double slope a male and a female.
For example in liquid service near waterways or municipalities double expanding gate valves with dbb capabilities such as the cameron wkm pow r seal double expanding gate valve are preferred for critical isolation because they provide a tight mechanical seal simultaneously upstream and downstream which is normally unaffected by pressure.
Complete single source integrated solution for manual or actuated high integrity ball check slab gate double expanding gate and axial flow valves in both subsea and topside environments.
The gate female wedge is driven by the stem and a centralizer mechanism guide helps in retaining the gate segment assembly until sealing through expansion is required.
The slopes are designed to cause the expansion of the gate in both open and closed positions.
In the first case the two halves of the gate are pushed against the seats in the valve closed position by having an internal stop acting on one of the two halves.
System structured in compliance with the italian law d.
This kind of valve may belong to three main families.
Consisting of a gate and a second segment male and female wedge segment.
This has to do with psychology if you don t know how the valves actually work you feel.
But solid slab valves as the one shown in figure 6 is normally not accepted as a double isolation valve.
The production of through conduit gate valves is a part of our core business.
Slab double expanding single expanding.
Adopts an environmental health and safety.
1 to 56 for api 6d and 1 13 16 to 13 5 8 for api 6a.
Each of these versions are fully internally engineered sizes covered.
Double expanding gate valves are made by two sliding pieces.
Gate valves are designed with a sealing unit to provide a tight seal around the stem.
Double expanding gate valves illustrated in figure 5 are accepted as double block bleed valves and are used as a single valve with double isolation.
Our patented single loaded spring sls stem seal design used in saf t seal slab gate valves and wkm pow r seal double expanding gate valves provides superior leak protection and a self adjusting seal designed to reduce maintenance.
