1/2 inch ss flanged gate valve features an Outside Screw and Yoke (OS&Y) design, ensuring easy identification of its status – open or closed. Constructed from durable stainless steel, this DN15 gate valve exhibits corrosion resistance and longevity. Its full bore design allows unobstructed flow, minimizing pressure drop across the system.
Tips: How to select the appropriate flanged gate valve for a specific application?
Selecting the appropriate flanged gate valve involves considering several key factors. First, assess the fluid characteristics, including pressure, temperature, and composition. Choose a valve with a pressure rating and temperature range that aligns with the application. Consider the material compatibility to ensure resistance to corrosion or erosion. Evaluate the size of the valve based on the flow requirements. Additionally, assess the operation type—whether it's manual or automated, and select a valve with a suitable actuator if needed. Check the valve's design standards to ensure it meets industry requirements. Lastly, factor in any specific application considerations, such as special coatings for harsh environments. A comprehensive understanding of these factors will guide you in choosing a flanged gate valve that effectively meets the demands of your specific application.
