Forged Construction:

• Made from forged steel, which is stronger and more durable compared to cast steel or other materials.
• Enhances resistance to mechanical stresses and pressures.

Solid Wedge Gate:

• Typically features a solid wedge gate that provides reliable sealing when closed.
• Withstands pressure differentials and ensures tight shut-off.

Bonnet Design:

• Bonnet is either bolted or welded to the valve body, ensuring structural integrity and allowing for easy maintenance and repair.
• Bolted bonnet design permits access to internal components for inspection and service.

Rising Stem:

• Rising stem design provides a visual indication of the valve position.
• Stem threads are located outside the flow path, reducing wear and preventing corrosion.

Seating Surfaces:

• Metal-to-metal seating surfaces provide tight shut-off and resistance to wear and corrosion.
• Suitable for applications requiring reliable sealing under high pressures.

Pressure Seal Design Option:

• Some forged steel gate valves come with a pressure seal bonnet option, enhancing sealing capabilities under high-pressure conditions.

Materials:

• Available in a variety of materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel (e.g., A105, F22, F91), and exotic alloys for compatibility with different fluids and environments.
• Material selection depends on factors such as pressure rating, temperature, and corrosion resistance requirements.

End Connections:

• Typically available with flanged, threaded, or socket weld end connections to suit different piping system requirements.
