Gate Valve : The core of forced sealing opening and closing control in pipeline systems
Gate Valves, as key opening and closing components in pipeline systems, play a significant role in fluid control due to their forced sealing characteristics and diverse structural designs. The gate plate needs to be sealed by pressing the Valve Seat with external force. The linear movement of the Valve stem and the gate plate, in coordination, has given rise to two mainstream types: the rising stem gate valve (lifting stem gate valve) and the non-rising stem gate valve (rotating stem gate valve).
Rubber Expansion Joint,
Bellow Expansion Joint,
Flexible Metal Hose,
Dismantling Joint,
Flange Adaptor,
Duckbill Check Valve (duckbill check valve) and other accessories work together to provide reliable opening and closing control solutions for various pipeline systems.
Forced sealing: The "sealing guarantee" for strict protection
The forced sealing design of the gate valve is its core advantage in preventing leakage. When closing, the gate plate needs to be pressed against the Valve seat by external force to ensure a tight fit of the sealing surface. This sealing logic complements the one-way sealing function of the Duckbill Check Valve - the former actively controls the on-off of the fluid, while the latter passively prevents the backflow of the medium. In the main municipal water supply pipe, the forced sealing characteristic of the gate valve is coordinated with the sealing surface design of the Flange Adaptor. Zero leakage under high pressure is achieved through bolt fastening. Combined with the Rubber Expansion Joint to absorb the vibration of the water pump and avoid the vibration affecting the sealing performance, they jointly ensure the safety of water supply.
The external force required for forced sealing is transmitted through the valve stem. The trapezoidal threaded valve stem converts rotational motion into linear thrust. This transmission method has obvious advantages in high-pressure pipelines. In the oil transportation pipeline, the gate valve compresses the gate plate through the thrust generated by the rotation of the handwheel, cooperates with the Bellow Expansion Joint to compensate for the thermal displacement of the pipeline, and the Flexible Metal Hose is connected to the pressure monitoring device to monitor the sealing status in real time and ensure no leakage during the transportation of oil products.
Rising stem gate valve: Visible "lift control"
The valve stem of the rising stem gate valve (lift stem gate valve) rises and falls synchronously with the gate plate, and the top of the valve stem can be used as a direct marker of the opening and closing state. Its trapezoidal threaded valve stem converts rotational motion into linear motion through the nut and guide groove at the top of the Valve Body . When the height to which the gate is lifted is equal to the diameter of the valve, the fluid passage is completely unobstructed. However, in actual operation, the "can no longer open" position at the top of the valve stem is used as the fully open mark, considering the possible jamming caused by temperature changes. Usually, after fully opening, retreat 1/2 to 1 turn to confirm the fully open position. This stroke control feature is particularly practical in chemical raw material pipelines. When used in conjunction with Dismantling Joint, it enables operators to determine the valve status through the valve stem position and precisely control the raw material transportation.
In the industrial circulating water system, the visible stroke of the rising stem gate valve facilitates maintenance personnel to judge the wear of the gate plate. Combined with Bellow Expansion Joint to compensate for the thermal Expansion and contraction of the pipeline and Rubber Expansion Joint to absorb the vibration of the circulating pump, the three work together to ensure the stable and controllable flow of the circulating water. Its structural features make it more advantageous in pipelines where the opening and closing status needs to be frequently monitored, such as the regulation of aeration pipelines in sewage treatment.
Concealed stem gate Valve: Space-optimized "Rotary Drive"
The concealed stem gate valve (rotating stem gate valve) sets the valve stem nut on the gate plate. The rotation of the handwheel drives the valve stem to rotate, achieving the lifting and lowering of the gate plate. The valve stem does not move synchronously with the gate plate, thus saving installation space. This structure has obvious advantages in underground pipe networks with limited space, echoing the compact characteristics of the Flexible Metal Hose, and can complete pipe connections and valve operations within a limited space. In the municipal stormwater network, the concealed stem gate Valve is used in conjunction with the Flange Adaptor to connect pipes of different diameters. The Duckbill Check Valve prevents rainwater from flowing back, and its concealed stem design reduces the impact of sediment accumulation on operation.
The sealing performance of the concealed stem gate valve is equally reliable. In the gas transmission pipeline, the rotation-driven gate presses the valve seat to achieve sealing. Combined with the metal seal of Bellow Expansion Joint, it forms a double leak-proof guarantee. Youdaoplaceholder0 Joint facilitates regular maintenance and calibration of the valve to ensure the safety of gas transmission.
Scene Adaptation: The "Opening and closing Force" in multiple fields
The municipal pipeline network is the "core battlefield" for gate valves. The rising stem gate valve is used for zonal control of urban water supply. The valve stem stroke is intuitive and convenient for remote monitoring. It is compatible with the Flange Adaptor for different pipe materials. The flowmeter connected to the Flexible Metal Hose can monitor the flow in real time. The concealed stem gate valve is suitable for underground sewage pipe networks. The concealed valve stem avoids corrosion by sewage. Combined with Rubber Expansion Joint, it absorbs the settlement and displacement of the pipeline to ensure smooth sewage discharge.
In the steam pipelines of the power industry, the forced sealing characteristics of the gate valve can withstand high temperature and high pressure. Combined with Bellow Expansion Joint to compensate for the thermal displacement of the steam pipeline, Dismantling Joint facilitates the quick disassembly of the valve during maintenance, and its tight sealing performance reduces steam leakage loss. In the clean pipeline of food processing, the smooth flow channel of the gate valve, in combination with food-grade sealing materials, forms a sanitary passage with the food-grade Rubber material of Rubber Expansion Joint, and is connected through Flange Adaptor to ensure no sanitary dead corners.
System Collaboration: "Efficiency Upgrade" through Accessory Linkage
The efficiency of gate valves is greatly enhanced in coordination with various
Pipe Fittings. In the water supply system of high-rise buildings, the rising stem gate valve controls the water supply of the riser, the Bellow Expansion Joint compensates for the stress caused by the self-weight of the pipeline, and the Flange Adaptor solves the connection problem of different pipe diameters to ensure the stability of the water supply pressure. In the fire protection piping system, the gate Valve serves as a spare valve, cooperating with the Duckbill Check Valve to prevent the backflow of fire water. The fire Hose connected to the Flexible Metal Hose can flexibly adjust the spray direction. The three work together to enhance the efficiency of emergency response.
In acid and alkali chemical pipelines, the gate valve made of corrosion-resistant material is combined with the corrosion-resistant Rubber of Rubber Expansion Joint to achieve sealing connection through Flange Adaptor. Youdaoplaceholder0 Joint facilitates the regular replacement of sealing parts, and its forced sealing characteristic effectively resieves the erosion of acid and alkali media. This multi-dimensional synergy enables the gate valve to always play a core role in opening and closing control in complex pipeline systems.
Gate valves, with their reliable forced sealing and the diversity of their exposed and concealed stem structures, have become the "opening and closing commanders" of pipeline systems. It works in coordination with various pipe fittings. Through precise stroke control and tight sealing performance, it provides a solid guarantee for the safe operation of pipelines in municipal, industrial, energy and other fields, and demonstrates stable and efficient performance in key links of fluid control.
