FEATURES OF THROUGH CONDUIT GATE VALVE
They allow the fluid to flow in a fully open position and be restricted in the fully closed position, with minimal load losses. Not recommended for intermediate positions.Get more news about through conduit gate valve,you can vist our website!
BEL Valves’ reputation as a world-leading supplier has been built on the success of the Through Conduit Slab Gate Valve, a product first supplied in the mid-1980s. With thousands of installations throughout all oil and gas bearing regions in the world, the product is synonymous with high performance and reliability.
Supplying the first subsea Gate Valve in 1985, BEL Valves demonstrates a successful track record of product installation in shallow to ultra-deep waters around the world. Today, the Through Conduit Slab Gate Valve continues to be designed in accordance with the exacting industry standards and company engineering principles that ensures a fit for purpose solution every time.
Through conduit gate valve is a type of gate valve which is designed such that fluid flows straight from the inlet to the outlet port. Through conduit gate valve manufacturers design these valves for on and off applications. If the through conduit gate valve is used for throttling applications it does not provide the required tightness. The design of a through conduit gate valve employs a full bore on the inlet and outlet ports which results in a coefficient of fluid flow resistance equal to the one on the piping system. This makes these valves suitable for use in long-distance transportation of fluids. Through conduit gate valves can be operated manually or by using actuators such as hydraulic, electric, or pneumatic actuators. Through conduit gate valve can have expanded gate or slab gate. The closing member is the gate. Through conduit gate valve manufacturers design the gate with a hole at the bottom. The gate is raised so that the hole is aligned with the valve ports to allow fluid flow. To close the valve, the gate is lowered to make the upper solid part of the gate block fluid flow. Through conduit gate valve manufacturers design these valves for use in different applications such as power plants, oil and gas refineries, and petrochemical and mining applications among others.
This is the component of a through conduit gate valve which provides the force to open or close the valve. The actuators that can be used in a through conduit gate valve are electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuators. Automatic through conduit gate valves are operated using actuators. If the through conduit gate valve is manual it is operated using a handwheel. The valve operator applies force on the handwheel to rotate the stem so that the valve gate can open/close the fluid flow.
Valve body
This is the component of the through conduit gate valve which acts as the pressure barrier. This is also the part that houses the internal parts of the valve. Through conduit gate valve manufacturers design the valve body using strong metallic materials to ensure the valve has high strength to withstand high pressure and high temperatures. The valve body contains the valve ports where the valve is connected to the piping system.
Valve bonnet
Bonnet is the component of a through conduit gate valve which is placed on the valve body to protect the valve stem and internal parts. The bonnet is connected to the valve body using bolts or screws. The bonnet connected using bolts has flanges with holes to house the bolts and nuts. The bolted bonnet is very strong and is mostly used for high-pressure applications. The bonnet is also made of the same metallic materials as the valve body.
Stem
The stem is the part of the through conduit gate valve which is used to connect the actuator to the gate. Through conduit gate valve manufacturers design the stem with threads that make the stem move upwards or downwards to open or close fluid flow.
Gate
The gate is the main component of a through conduit gate valve as it is responsible for blocking or allowing fluid flow. The gate is connected to the actuator or handwheel through the stem. The gate moves up and down in the conduit gate valve to open or close the fluid flow.
Seats
This is the component that used to provide sealing surfaces to the gate. Seats also helps to prevent fluid leakage in the valve. The seats can be made of soft or metallic materials. Soft materials include plastics or rubber. The soft material is used where the through conduit gate valve is meant for use in low-temperature fluid applications and or where there is corrosion. Metallic seats are used if the through conduit gate valve is expected to be used in high temperature and or corrosive applications.
