PSB Forged Gate Valve 1500LBS – 2500LBS (SW, NPT Ends) - API602
China Industrial Pressure Seal Bonnet (PSB) Forged Gate Valve 1500LBS – 2500LBS Supplier, Exporter, Manufacturer. This page covers Class 1500 and Class 2500 forged gate valves with Pressure Seal Bonnet (PSB) construction and SW or NPT ends, manufactured per API 602. Solid wedge, OS&Y rising stem. PSB design uses internal pressure to self-energize the bonnet seal — sealing performance increases as line pressure rises, making it ideal for ultra-high-pressure and high-temperature service. Sizes 1/2 inch to 2 inch (DN15 to DN50). Body materials include carbon steel (A105, LF2), alloy steel (F5, F11, F22), stainless steel (F304, F316), duplex steel (F51, F53). NACE MR 0175 available. Ideal for ultra-high-pressure steam, power generation, oil and gas wellhead and chemical service where leak-tightness is critical.

PSB vs BB Bonnet Design Comparison
| Feature | PSB (Pressure Seal Bonnet) | BB (Bolted Bonnet) |
|---|---|---|
| Sealing Principle | Self-energizing by internal pressure | Compression by bolts and gasket |
| Sealing Performance | Tighter as line pressure increases | Constant, depends on bolt preload |
| Maintenance | More complex, requires special tools | Easy access for trim replacement |
| Best Application | Ultra-high-pressure, critical leak-tightness | General high-pressure, maintenance-prone |
Reference: API 602. PSB is preferred for Class 1500 and 2500 where ultimate leak-tightness is required. BB remains the choice for maintenance-prone service. Choose based on project specification.

• Oil and Gas Wellhead: Wellhead control panels, gas injection and chemical injection lines at Class 1500 and 2500.
• Power Generation: Ultra-supercritical boiler drain, air vent and sampling line isolation on small-bore ultra-high-pressure piping.
• Petrochemical: Hydrocracking, hydrotreating and ultra-high-pressure reagent injection lines requiring self-sealing reliability.
• Chemical Processing: Ultra-high-pressure reagent feed, catalyst injection and corrosive fluid isolation.
• Subsea and Offshore: Subsea wellhead control, high-pressure chemical injection and hydraulic control systems.
FAQ - PSB Forged Gate Valve 1500LBS – 2500LBS (SW, NPT Ends)
Q1: How does the pressure seal bonnet (PSB) work?
A: In PSB design, the bonnet is sealed by internal line pressure pushing the bonnet upward against a metal gasket. As line pressure increases, the sealing force increases, making the joint tighter. This self-energizing effect is why PSB valves are preferred for ultra-high-pressure Class 1500 and 2500 service.
Q2: When should I choose PSB over BB for Class 1500 and 2500?
A: Choose PSB when ultimate leak-tightness is critical and the valve is not expected to require frequent trim maintenance. Choose BB when maintenance accessibility and trim replacement are important. PSB is standard for critical ultra-high-pressure steam, wellhead and subsea service. BB remains cost-effective for maintenance-prone applications.
Q3: What end connections are available for PSB forged gate valves?
A: We offer Socket Weld (SW) per ANSI B16.11 and Threaded (NPT) per ANSI B1.20.1. SW provides a permanent, full-penetration welded connection for the highest pressures. NPT allows easy installation and removal where welding is not practical. BW is also available on request for larger bore piping.
Q4: What is the difference between Class 1500 and Class 2500 PSB gate valves?
A: Class 1500 has a design pressure of 260 bar (3,750 psi), suitable for ultra-high-pressure steam, gas injection and wellhead equipment. Class 2500 reaches 430 bar (6,250 psi) for the most demanding ultra-high-pressure applications. Class 2500 uses thicker walls, heavier trim and larger face-to-face dimensions (e.g., 2 inch: 279 mm vs 216 mm at Class 1500).
Q5: What materials and trim options are available for PSB gate valves?
A: Standard body materials include carbon steel (A105, A105N, LF2), alloy steel (F5, F11, F22), stainless steel (F304, F304L, F316, F316L) and duplex stainless steel (F51, F53). Trim options include 13Cr, STL, SS304, SS316 and F6a. Material and trim selection depends on operating temperature, pressure and fluid corrosiveness.
Q6: Is NACE MR 0175 available for PSB gate valves?
A: Yes, NACE MR 0175 compliance is available on request for sour oil and gas applications. This includes material selection, hardness control and testing to ensure resistance to sulfide stress cracking. Please specify NACE MR 0175 in your inquiry.
