What's the difference between a soft seal gate valve and a hard sealed gate valve?

Answer:

The difference is that the form of the gate seal surface is different.General gate valves are generally leaking, easy to rust and other phenomena. Soft sealing gate valve (elastic seat sealing gate valve), gate material for cast iron lining rubber, overcome the shortcomings of the general gate valve, such as poor sealing, elastic fatigue, easy to rust, etc.. Soft sealing gate valve is a new product of the traditional gate valve.
It uses the elastic material of the gate, and uses the elastic material to produce the micro deformation compensation effect. It can achieve good sealing effect. Soft sealing gate valve has the advantages of light switch, reliable sealing, good elasticity memory and long service life.Hard sealing surface of the gate valve for cast iron or stainless steel, open and close resistance is small, no flow, but poor sealing performance.
Soft sealing gate valve is rubber seal, F sealed, hard sealing gate valve is the medium of particles.
