Stainless Steel Wedge Type Gate Valve , Rising Stem Gate Valve CF8M
CF8 CF3 CF3M
Stainless Steel Gate Valves
The most traditional, widely used, on-off valve approach to
manufacture this type of valve is to maintain high integrity of
components, traceability, process controls and tests in order to
supply a superior product to for particular customers demands.
Specific attention is given to products in other than day-to-day
used material, i.e. stainless steel. Basic standard of
reference is API 600, but also EN 12516 can be referred to.
Materials are either to ASTM/ASME standards or to EN standards,
either harmonized or calculated to design conditions.
Pressure classes are normally ranging from 150# to 300# and 600#.
Flanged or butt weld ends configurations are both available.
The gate valve is the widely used for large diameter, full port
applications. When the valve is fully open, it allows
straight-through passage through and opening that is essentially
the same size as the inside diameter of the connecting pipe. This
is why there is little pressure drop through an Asahi/America gate
valve. The valve operates when the hand wheel and stem screw (or
electric actuator) move a cylindrical plug, the gate, up and down
at right angles to the fluid flow. Traditionally, gate valves have
been used only for ON/OFF service, but because the unique
Asahi/America sliding plug design provides a larger seating area
than conventional gate valves, it can be used for throttling. This
significantly larger seating area, which runs 360 degrees around
the cylindrical plug, has also virtually eliminated the valve
chatter normally associated with gate valves.
