Gate Valves
Gate Valves
Constructed from carbon steel, these gate valves are known for their strength and durability. Carbon steel gate valves are commonly used in applications requiring high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, such as in oil and gas pipelines, power plants, and petrochemical facilities. They provide reliable shut-off and regulation of fluid flow in demanding industrial environments.
Made from gunmetal, a type of bronze alloy, these gate valves offer excellent resistance to corrosion and dezincification, making them suitable for use in marine environments, offshore installations, and applications involving seawater or brackish water. G.M. gate valves are commonly used in shipbuilding, maritime industries, and coastal infrastructure.
Constructed from cast iron, these gate valves are robust and economical. Cast iron gate valves are commonly used in applications where moderate pressure and temperature conditions prevail, such as water distribution systems, sewage treatment plants, HVAC systems, and general industrial processes. They provide reliable shut-off and regulation of fluid flow in various municipal and industrial applications.
“F.S.” likely stands for “Forged Steel” gate valves. Forged steel gate valves are manufactured from forged steel, offering superior strength and resistance to high pressures and temperatures. They are commonly used in demanding applications such as power generation, oil and gas processing, refining, and chemical processing industries. Forged steel gate valves provide reliable shut-off and control of fluid flow in critical processes where safety and performance are paramount.
Each type of gate valve has its unique characteristics and is selected based on the specific requirements of the application, including factors such as fluid compatibility, pressure and temperature conditions, environmental factors, and industry standards.
