How gate valves work when opened and closed?

2019-02-25
When the gate valve is closed: the sealing surface can only rely on the pressure of the medium to seal, that is to rely on the pressure of the medium to pressure the sealing surface of the valve plate to the other side of the valve seat to ensure the sealing surface, which is self-sealing. Most of the gate valve is the use of forced sealing, that is, when the valve is closed, to rely on external force to force the valve plate pressure to the seat, to ensure the sealing of the sealing surface.

Gate valve open: the flow path is completely clear when the lift height of the disc is equal to 1:1 of the valve size, but this position cannot be monitored during operation. In actual use, the valve stem is marked by the vertex, that is, the open position, as its full open position. In order to consider the temperature change lock phenomenon, usually in the open to the vertex position, then back to 1/2-1 turn, as the full open valve position. Therefore, the full open position of the valve is determined according to the position of the valve plate.
