What are the Unique Points About Knife Gate Valve

Image
Knife gate valves are designed mainly for on, off and isolation service in the system with high content of suspended solids. It is one of the most different valves that are beneficial for handling slurry. The valves have a minimized pressure drop that handles the abrasive flow of water and gas. The best quality about this valve would be its design which helps in handling the harshest environments. The most important availability that is given by the gate valve is that it protects the valve from corrosion and there is no as such rust due to its mechanism. Knife Gate Valve is developed in such a way that it has on-and-off service, where the product is either completely closed or opened and it regulates in that way. There is a sharpened disc that cuts out through the slurry/vicious media. As you see the mechanism, it is very unique and can be used for a longtime. It was initially developed so that it can be used in the pulp and paper industry. There is a soft sealing surface in this that...

What is the Importance of Vonk Choke Valves Model Scv

Image
As the name suggests, this valve is a superior quality product that allows operational reliability, and a choke valve is a mechanical device that induces a reduction in a flow line. It causes a pressure drop as well, this is a non-regulating valve that is used for flow regulation. Usually, in an oil reservoir, there is a lot of flow that needs to be maintained and flow is controlled only through such a valve. It can be replaced by other flow control valves. We normally prefer a valve that will not only hold the pressure but it shall increase larger openings for flow plus the durability is a bit more. Vonk Choke Valves Model Scv has an internal with liner and an internal with a long bean that fixes the orifice giving that perfect flow. It is actuated through an actuator that has a condition for all the goods. The description includes design pressure, design temperature and seat tightness. These valves are quite solid with perfect pressure parts. You don’t have to add an extension to it...

Oil & Gas Pipeline Repairs: API6A Double block and bleed valves

Image
One of the core industrial sectors, the oil and gas industry is primarily based on the use of pipelines for exploration, processing, and distribution of all phases. However, it can be an unnerving task to repair unforeseen pipeline failures. From valve failure and corrosion to incorrect work, pipelines can break down causing serious accidents, especially during repairs. Imagine you are going to fix an adjacent valve and this calls to depressurize the area you are working on. But, then as you approach the damaged valve head, you hear the leak and promptly tighten the bolts again. You have no idea how it happened? But, don’t worry, multiple new and innovative valves have hit the market to ease out such pipe repairs. The API6A Double block and Bleed Valves are a single device with two seating surfaces that provide a seal against pressure coming from both ends when it is closed. These DBB valves come as a blessing in disguise to close off a piece of pipe on both sides of the valve rather ...
