A gate valve is a device that shuts-off to close and open the fluid stream that is transmitted by a pipeline. It is a valve that is bi-directional, implying that the fluid streaming in any of the directions. The size of the bore is lower than 2 inches and larger sizing cast bodies.
What is Conduit Gate Valves?
A Conduit gate valve provides elevated value by implementing advanced features in the designs. These valves are manufactured and designed with a rising stem, full bore port, OS, and Y kind of floating seats. These types of valves are easy and robust in construction and maintenance.
Bi-directional and full port flow capability lowers turbulence and drops in pressure. The seat of the valve faces are external to the flow and hence the seats are shielded from the corrosive flow of fluid. Such valves are piggable valves. Scrapers and Pigs can be pushed via this valve with no harm done to the seats and valves.
Some manufacturers provide these Conduit gate valves. Camtech Manufacturers are one of the few manufacturing companies that are API accredited. They are located in North Africa, UAE, and Middle East areas offering excellent products of high quality and performance. They specialize in Conduit gate valves. They are manufacturers who have been approved by hundreds of leading gas and oil companies. They offer affordability without any compromise with the quality of the valve. They are competitive in the current market.
Conduit valves are majorly utilized in
- Chemical
- Petrochemical and oil and gas Pipelines for transmission.
- Offshore platforms
- Onshore terminals
- Pharmaceutical
- Self relieving seats
- Pipelines
- Refineries
- Construction
- Power
- Water Industries
- Process industries
- Relief of the cavity pressure from the primary steam based on the differential pressure.
Conduit valves are
- Appropriate for all kinds of fluids
- Double block valves
- Bleed feature valves
- Fire-safe valves
- API 6FA approved
Conduit valves have a provision of the emergency seat, and also stem sealant injector provision is offered in them.
Stem seal provides sealing tightly with no or minimal maintenance over lengthy periods. The stem design is Non-rotating kind with vent and drains as basic features.
Application of Conduit gate valves is designed with isolating valves. They are utilized for temperatures over 200 deg C. The valves are piggable full-bore valves. Their coefficient of flow resistance is equivalent to piping. They are ideal for pipeline systems serving long distances. The working medium used should not consist of any mechanical impurities.
Working medium for these valves to be used are:
- Water
- Gas
- Non-corrosive fluids
- Petroleum
- Petroleum products
Operation of Conduit gate valve
- Manual bevel gear
- Pneumatic actuator
- Electric actuator
- Bare stem for linking to an actuator
Accessories of Conduit gate valve
- Drain plug
- Vent plug
- By-pass valve
- Stem and seat sealant injection
Conduit gate valves are efficient gate valves for pipelines requiring bi-directional flow for various uses.
