What Procurement Managers Worry About Most

After Installation...

Leakage appears within 6 months due to poor seat sealing quality or material incompatibility with working media.

Consequence: Emergency shutdown, supplier replacement, additional rework costs

During Commissioning...

Valve fails pressure test because internal dimensions do not match specifications, or coating quality is substandard.

Consequence: Project delay, penalty clauses triggered, reputation damage

When Order Is Urgent...

Supplier cannot deliver on time, provides inconsistent lead time estimates, or lacks stock transparency.

Consequence: Production line downtime, expedited shipping costs, lost contracts

After Payment Completed...

Documentation is incomplete, test reports are generic copies, material certificates are missing or fraudulent.

Consequence: Customs clearance failure, compliance audit rejection, project certification blocked

These failures cost more than just money - they cost project timelines, professional reputation, and client trust.

What Is a Gate Valve?

A linear motion valve designed for full-bore, tight shut-off in on-off service applications

Gate Valve Structure

Full Port Design

Gate moves perpendicular to flow path, providing unrestricted flow when fully open. Zero pressure drop minimizes pumping energy consumption and prevents sediment accumulation.

Bidirectional Sealing

Wedge or parallel disc design creates metal-to-metal or resilient seat contact under system pressure. Suitable for applications requiring absolute leak-tightness in both flow directions.

Low Maintenance Operation

Designed for infrequent operation in fully open or fully closed positions. Simple internal structure reduces wear parts and extends service life to 15-20 years in proper conditions.

Sealing & Material Design

Critical zones engineered for leak-tight performance and extended service life

Seat Sealing Zone

Seat Sealing Zone

Material Selection Logic:

Resilient seats (EPDM/NBR) vulcanized directly onto ductile iron body provide bubble-tight shutoff in potable water systems at temperatures below 80°C. Metal seats (bronze or Stellite-faced) used when fluid temperature exceeds 100°C or media contains abrasive particles.

Application Requirements:

Municipal water systems require NSF-61 certified EPDM for drinking water contact. Steam applications above 200°C mandate Stellite No.6 hardfacing to resist thermal cycling and erosion. Seawater service requires bronze seats.

Stem Sealing Zone

Stem Sealing Zone

Material Selection Logic:

O-ring seals (NBR/EPDM) standard for water service up to PN16 and 60°C. Chevron V-ring packing stacks used for PN25+ or steam applications where higher stuffing box pressure is required. Graphite packing mandatory for temperatures above 250°C.

Application Requirements:

Buried valve installations require extended stuffing boxes with additional packing rings to accommodate underground corrosion protection. Chemical process systems may specify live-loaded packing glands to compensate for thermal expansion.

Body Material Zone

Body Material Zone

Material Selection Logic:

GG25 cast iron sufficient for freshwater systems below PN10. GGG40/50 ductile iron provides higher tensile strength for PN16/25 applications. WCB carbon steel body required for steam or petroleum service above 120°C.

Application Requirements:

Offshore platforms and desalination plants require CF8M (316 stainless steel) bodies to withstand chloride pitting. Food-grade systems mandate CF8 (304 stainless) with electropolished surfaces. Severe corrosion environments may necessitate nickel alloys.

Manufacturing Process Transparency

Six controlled stages from raw casting to final inspection ensure consistent quality

1
Casting Process

Casting

Sand molding process for ductile iron bodies ensures uniform wall thickness distribution and eliminates porosity defects. Spectroscopic analysis verifies carbon content, silicon ratio, and nodular graphite structure meet EN-GJS-400 requirements before pouring. X-ray inspection on critical pressure-containing sections detects internal flaws larger than 1.5mm prior to machining.

2
CNC Machining

CNC Machining

Computer-controlled lathes maintain sealing surface flatness within 0.02mm tolerance across entire seat contact area. Thread milling operations produce ACME stem threads with dimensional accuracy per ISO 2904 Class 7H/7e, ensuring smooth operation over 50,000 cycles. Flange face machining achieves Ra 3.2 surface finish to prevent gasket embedding and maintain leak-tight bolted connections.

3
Assembly

Assembly

Clean room environment prevents contamination during resilient seat vulcanization process, which bonds EPDM compound to body at controlled temperature and pressure cycles. Torque wrenches calibrated per ISO 6789 Class A ensure bonnet bolts reach specified preload without overstressing threads. Gate-to-seat alignment verified using feeler gauges to confirm uniform contact pressure across full circumference.

4
Coating

Coating

Grit blasting to Sa 2.5 cleanliness standard removes mill scale and creates anchor pattern for coating adhesion. Fusion-bonded epoxy powder coating applied electrostatically achieves 250-300 micron dry film thickness, providing ISO 12944 C5-M corrosion protection rating for 15+ year service life. Internal surfaces receive NSF-61 certified epoxy coating when specified for potable water contact.

5
Pressure Testing

Pressure Testing

Shell test conducted at 1.5× nominal pressure rating for minimum 5 minutes while inspecting all pressure-containing joints for leakage. Seat closure test performed at 1.1× PN for metal seats, 1.0× PN for resilient seats with zero visible leakage meeting EN 12266-1 Rate A criteria. Third-party witnessed testing available upon request with certified test reports traceable to individual valve serial numbers.

6
Packing

Packing

Protective caps installed on all port openings prevent contamination during transportation and storage. Valves secured in wooden crates with internal bracing to prevent movement damage during ocean freight or truck transport. Documentation package includes material certificates per EN 10204 3.1, dimensional inspection reports, pressure test records, and operation & maintenance manuals in customer-specified language.
