Double Disk Pressure Seal Rising Stem Gate Valve 600lb

A gate valve with a double-disc design provides extra safe and security. EDVC DBB gate valve is designed with double discs for double shut off, plus a drainage for bleeding.

Gate valves serve as efficient on-off valves with flow in either direction. In such a design, a wedge slides cross a general passageway in order to control fluid flow (like a sliding gate - hence, the name). One of the most significant characteristics of this type of valves is its straight-through, unobstructed passageway when set in the “full open" position. This is made possible by the wedge lifting entirely out of the passageway. As a result, gate valves are characterized by a minimum of turbulence and pressure drop in operation.

While gate valves are good for applications requiring these two factors, they are not recommended for installations in which throttling would be a function. They are designed for on/off service.

Body and Bonnet

Bodies and bonnets are high quality cast and afterwards precisely machined,

directing the attention to prevent stress concentration.

The bodies of gate valves consist of a straight through port that guarantees

minimal turbulence and resistance to flow. In both designs, bolted bonnet

and pressure seal, the bodies consist of guide slots to accommodate the

wedge during opening or closing of the valve.

Bonnets are made either of one piece only –the yoke then being an integral

part of it– or have two pieces, depending on the size of the valve. This

ensures the perfect alignment with the body what leads to an accurate

opening and closing.

Backseat

All JC gate and globe valves have backseat threaded in the bonnet, or for

the pressure seal valves, welded to the bonnet. Into pressure seal the hard

facing is stellite 6 or equivalent.

Stem

The stems of Double disk gate valves are forged from one piece and ACME threaded,

then mechanized and finally provided with a smooth finishing in order

to minimize friction.

In gate valves, the union of stem and wedge shall be in T form, designed to

prevent the stem disengaging itself from the wedge while being in service.

This design includes a conical raised surface that presses the seat against

the bonnet backseat in the fully open position.

Body and Bonnet Gaskets

The design of the body-bonnet/gaskets varies depending on the class

of the valve.

Class 150 gate valves consist of a square joint in 2” and an oval one for

all other sizes. Depending on the valve service it can be supplied flat-face

gasket with graphite or PTFE.

Class 300 and 600 valves consist of a circular spiral wound gasket.

Class 900 and above gate valves consist of a ring type joint.

In pressure seal designs the sealing is achieved through a gasket that takes

advantage of the internal pressure of the line. The material most commonly

used is high-purity graphite being located between the body and the body

retainer ring.

Flexible Wedge

All EDVC gate valves 3” and above valves feature a flexible wedge unless

otherwise specified by the customer. The flexible wedge shifts along the

body of the valve during opening and closing, being held in position by a

guide slot that minimizes the friction between body seat and wedge. This

design is especially suited to compensate slight thermal deformations produced

by the pipe or the valve itself safeguarding a better sealing between

body and wedge seats.
