How to calculate the size of a valve?

In order to calculate the size of a valve, you need to know the parameters related to the operation of the circuit.

●The pressure is an important factor that must be taken into account, on the one hand to avoid undersizing the valve, which could lead to problems in terms of leakage or rupture of the valve, and on the other hand to avoid oversizing the valve.

●The operating temperature needs to be determined, i.e. the temperature of the circulating medium, as well as the ambient temperature around the valve body. It is important to know the temperature extremes that the valve needs to withstand in order to be able to select the valve that can be used to operate under these conditions, especially the materials used to manufacture the body, shut-off system and seals.

●The operating pressure, i.e., the pressure at which the medium circulates through the valve.

Types of Metal Seat Gate Valves

According to the sealing surface configuration, it can be divided into wedge gate valve and parallel gate valve. Wedge gate valve can be divided into: single gate, double gate and elastic gate; parallel gate valve can be divided into single gate Plate type and double gate type. Divided according to the thread position of the valve stem, it can be divided into two types: open stem gate valve and dark stem gate valve. 【 Resilient Seat Gate Valve 】 For industrial valves, the opening and closing parts of soft-sealed gate valves are gates. The movement direction of the gates is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid. The gate valves can only be fully opened and fully closed, and cannot be adjusted or throttled. [Principle of Resilient Seat] The resilient seat l gate valve is divided into two types: bright-stem resilient seat gate valve and dark-stem resilient seat gate valve. Usually there is a trapezoidal thread on the lifting rod, through the nut in the middle of the gate and the gui...

What is a knife gate valve?

Knife gate valves are designed primarily for on/off and isolation service in systems with high suspended solids content. Knife gate valves are particularly suitable for handling slurry, viscous, corrosive and abrasive media. These valves have minimal pressure drop in the fully open position, they are easy to start, they have a relatively low weight and are cost effective.   When are knife gate valves used? Knife gate valves are commonly used in mining , power plants and in the paper, chemical and food industries. Knife gate valves have the advantage of being very compact due to the linear movement of the closing flap (the plate that stops the flow of fluid in the closed position). The knife gate valve is primarily a globe valve, although it can also be used as a control valve when the flapper valve is in the partially open position. Knife gate valves can be used for fluids containing solid particles, such as waste water or sludge. Generally, knife gate valves are designed to seal o...

Midline (concentric) The structural characteristics of the midline Centerline (concentric) The structural feature of the centerline is that the shaft center of the valve stem , the center of the gate, and the center of the body are in the same position. The structure is simple and the manufacturing is convenient. Common rubber linings belong to this category. The disadvantage is that the gate and the valve seat are always in a state of squeezing and scratching, large resistance distance, and fast wear. In order to overcome squeezing, scratching, and to ensure the sealing performance, the valve seat is basically made of elastic materials such as rubber, but the sealing material is also limited by temperature in use, which is why people traditionally think that it is not resistant to high temperatures. Applicable to the pipelines of petroleum, chemical, food, medicine, paper, water and electricity, ships, water supply, drainage, smelting and energy, etc., and can be used in a variety of ...
