FAQ - Forged Steel Flanged Gate Valve
Q1: What is the difference between flanged and SW/NPT forged gate valves?
A: Flanged ends allow easy installation and removal without welding, making them ideal for pipeline systems requiring frequent maintenance or replacement. SW (Socket Weld) and NPT (Threaded) ends are more compact and are typically used for permanent small-bore high-pressure installations. Flanged valves are available in RF and RTJ facing per ANSI B16.5.
Q2: What is the difference between RF and RTJ flange facing?
A: RF (Raised Face) is the most common flange facing, suitable for low to medium pressure services up to Class 600. RTJ (Ring Type Joint) is a metal-to-metal seal design used for high-pressure and high-temperature services, typically Class 900 and above. RTJ provides superior sealing performance under extreme conditions.
Q3: What is the difference between API 602 and API 600 gate valves?
A: API 602 covers forged steel gate valves in sizes 1/2 inch to 2 inch, designed for high-pressure small-bore applications. API 600 covers cast steel gate valves in larger sizes. Forged construction provides higher strength and tighter grain structure, making API 602 valves ideal for compact, high-pressure installations.
Q4: What trim options are available for flanged forged gate valves?
A: Standard trim options include Trim 1# (13Cr disc, 13Cr seat), Trim 8# (13Cr disc, STL seat), Trim 5# (STL disc, STL seat), Trim SS304 (F304 disc, SS304 seat) and Trim SS316 (F316 disc, SS316 seat). Trim selection depends on operating temperature, pressure and fluid corrosiveness.
Q5: What is the difference between integral flange and welded flange?
A: Integral flange is forged together with the valve body, providing higher strength and better leak-tightness for high-pressure applications. Welded flange is welded onto the valve body, offering more flexibility in flange facing and material combinations. Both are available for choice.
Q6: Is NACE MR 0175 available for sour service?
A: Yes, NACE MR 0175 compliance is available on request for sour service applications. This includes material selection, hardness control and testing requirements to ensure resistance to sulfide stress cracking. Please specify NACE MR 0175 in your inquiry.
