Function
The Metal Seated Gate Valve is designed for reliable isolation and flow control in systems where high pressure, temperature, and abrasive media are present. The valve operates by moving a solid gate up or down to control the flow of fluid. When the valve is fully closed, the metal seat tightly seals against the gate, ensuring a leak-tight shut-off. The robust design of the metal-to-metal seal allows the valve to handle high-temperature and abrasive media, such as steam, oil, gas, and slurry, without compromising performance.
The valve is easy to operate with a manual, pneumatic, or electric actuator, depending on the application requirements. Its full-bore design ensures minimal pressure drop and allows for efficient flow control, whether for throttling or full isolation.
The Metal Seated Gate Valve is known for its ability to handle abrasive, high-viscosity, and high-temperature media. Its full-bore design allows for minimal flow resistance, reducing the potential for pressure loss. With a reliable metal-to-metal seal, this valve can endure the most demanding operational conditions, ensuring a long service life and reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
