About Forged Stainless Steel Gate Valve
Forged Stainless Steel Gate Valve
Main Features of Forged Stainless Steel Gate Valve:
- Body and bonnet are bolted together for valves up to classes 800, 1500, 2500, and 4500. Upon request, valves with weldable bonnets can also be provided
- Valve body-bonnet assembly screwed with seal-welded design for classes 1500, 2500, 4500.
- Gate and Globe valves available in Class 800 that are bellows-sealed
- Spiral-wound stainless steel gaskets and graphite fillers are used on bolted body-bonnet joints to prevent leaks
- An inner packing ring made of die-formed graphite and an end ring made of braided graphite, reinforced by Inconel wire and corrosion inhibitor
- The stem-disc connection between the gate valve and the stem meets API 602 and API 598 standards for strength
- A smooth operation is ensured by the rolled ACME thread on the stem
- Back seating stem with a tapered shoulder
- Using stud and nut tightening to align the gland assembly
- Globe and check valve seats with hard-faced bodies
- The spring-loaded disc on the check valve
- We offer electrical actuators for valves with gate and globe valves
- Stainless steel forgings were used for the body and bonnet of Cryogenic valves, which are excellent impact strength, achieve minimal heat loss, and have excellent corrosion resistance
- We can offer valves according to NACE MR-0175 and other NACE specifications

Superior Design & MaterialsCrafted from high-grade forged stainless steel (SS304/SS316), this gate valve ensures exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. Its bolted bonnet construction, polished surface, and strict adherence to industrial standards guarantee reliable performance and longevity even in aggressive media.
Versatile Connection OptionsThis valve supports a range of connection types-screwed (BSP/NPT), socket weld, and flanged-allowing installation flexibility in pipelines for water, oil, or gas. Its straight shape and port sizes (1/2 inch-2 inch) meet diverse system specifications, simplifying integration into new or existing setups.
Rigorous Testing & Zero LeakageEach valve undergoes hydrostatic and pneumatic testing to verify its integrity under working pressures up to 34 bar. The leakage class VI (soft seat) designation ensures bubble-tight shutoff, making it highly dependable for critical operations where safety and reliability are paramount.
FAQ's of Forged Stainless Steel Gate Valve:
Q: How is the forged stainless steel gate valve installed in a pipeline?
A: The valve can be installed using screwed (BSP/NPT), socket weld, or flanged ends, depending on your pipeline's configuration. Always ensure proper sealing and alignment during installation to maintain performance and minimize leakage.
Q: What are the main application areas for this gate valve?
A: This valve is suitable for industrial, chemical, petrochemical, and power plant sectors. Its excellent corrosion resistance and bi-directional flow feature make it ideal for handling water, oil, or gas pipelines in demanding environments.
Q: When should I choose SS304 versus SS316 material grade for the valve body?
A: Use SS304 for general applications where moderate corrosion resistance is sufficient. Choose SS316 in environments with higher chloride exposure or more aggressive chemicals for superior corrosion protection.
Q: What processes ensure the valve's reliability and leak-tight performance?
A: Each valve is hydrostatically and pneumatically tested to confirm pressure and leak class compliance. The soft seat (Class VI) provides a highly reliable bubble-tight seal, essential for critical service conditions.
Q: What is the benefit of a rising stem design in this gate valve?
A: A rising stem design allows easy visual indication of the valve's open or closed position. This enhances safety and operational control, particularly in process-critical applications.
Q: Which packing and sealing options are available for this valve model?
A: The valve comes with a choice of graphite or PTFE packing and sealing, providing chemical resistance and compatibility with a range of process conditions to prevent stem leakage.
Q: Can this valve be used in high-pressure or high-temperature operations?
A: Yes, the gate valve is designed to operate safely at pressures up to 34 bar and temperatures ranging from -20C to 200C, making it suitable for many challenging process applications.
