What is the difference between the cut-off valve and the gate valve?
Selection of stop valve:There are two ways to install the valve, one is the media flow from the top of the spool, the advantage is that when the packing is not under pressure, the pressure can be replaced before the valve packing, there is a long service life characteristics. Another is the media from the bottom of the spool into, and its shortcomings are driving torque is large, is 1 times above the flow, the stem by the axial force of large, easy to bend the stem. Generally suitable for small caliber manual stop valve, to stop the valve closed, the media acting on the spool of force is not greater than 350kg limit. Electric cut-off valve is generally used to enter the media from the top way.Selection of gate valve and stop valve:Valve than the valve structure is simple, better sealing, manufacturing and maintenance to be convenient; shortcomings are fluid resistance, power, and opening and closing efforts. Gate valve, stop valve are fully open, fully closed valve, suitable for making cut off, it is not suitable for use as regulating valve. The application process should pay attention to the characteristics of the valve when selecting. Small pipes and better sealing performance generally use cut-off valve; in the steam system and large diameter pipeline, due to fluid resistance is small, suitable for use gate valve.
When opening and closing, the valve core and valve seat sealing surface always contact and rub each other, so the sealing surface is easy to wear, the valve is close to shut down, the pressure difference between the pipe is very large, so that the sealing surface wear more serious.Gate valve and stop valve advantages and disadvantages:Valve is the advantages of small flow resistance, the media can flow in two directions, but there are tall, complex structure, sealing surface easy to wear shortcomings. The flow resistance of the gate valve is 3-5 times that of the gate valve. Open and close to shut down in order to seal the valve, the valve is completely closed when in contact with the sealing surface, the sealing surface wear is very small, because the flow of the main actuator with large valve should pay attention to adjust the torque control mechanism.
What is the difference between gate valve and stop valve?:Gate valve and globe valve structure is different, the valve structure for hand wheel, with the stem rotating together to do the opening and closing movement. Valve structure is rotating handwheel, stem do lifting movement. The flow is different, the gate valve requires full open or full closed state, the cut-off valve does not need. The valve has the flow direction requirements, and the gate valve has no inlet and outlet requirements!Sealing performance comparison:Valve length is shorter than the cut-off valve, higher than the cut-off valve, the valve should pay attention to the installation of high elevation. The gate valve can be tightly closed with the sealing surface by the pressure of the medium so as to achieve the effect of not leaking.
