In industrial pipeline systems, the gate valve is one of the most widely used types of shutdown valves. It is favored for its simple structure, reliable sealing, and low fluid resistance, making it a key flow control device in industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, power generation, metallurgy, and water treatment. So, in what situations is a gate valve most suitable? This article provides a d...

Introduction In industrial fluid control systems, gate valves, as a type of shut-off valve, have long played a key role in opening and closing operations. With increasingly complex operating conditions, higher demands are being placed on valves in terms of corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and service life. Among the many available materials, duplex stainless steel (ASTM A995 5A) combi...

Both V-port ball valves and O-port ball valves are important types of ball valves, with clear differences in design, applicable media, and control performance. Understanding these differences helps engineers make more appropriate selections for specific applications. Design and Characteristics of V-Port Ball Valves V-port ball valves feature a distinctive partial-sphere ball design w...

The differences between butterfly check valves and swing check valves lie not only in their structural design but also in their typical applications. Although both valve types share the same functions—preventing backflow, enabling light-load pump starting, and reducing water hammer—their design characteristics and operational ranges differ. Both valve types feature a disc-shaped...

1. What Is a Valve Welding Electrode? A valve welding electrode refers to a category of welding consumables specifically used for hardfacing, repair welding, and overlay welding of valve components, including the valve body, sealing surfaces (such as valve seats and valve discs), as well as welding joints between valves and pipelines. It is not a single product, but rather a general ...
