Description
Thru Conduit Slab Gate Valve – API 6D Standard
FlowBiz manufactures the industry’s most reliable Cast Steel Thru Conduit Slab Gate Valves and Expanding Gate Valves. Designed strictly according to the latest API 6D editions, these valves are the primary choice for liquid and gas transmission pipelines requiring maximum safety and longevity.
Our Thru Conduit design ensures that the gate remains in constant contact with the seats, protecting the sealing surfaces from the media in both the open and closed positions.
Advanced Sealing Technology
FlowBiz incorporates a sophisticated dual-sealing system to ensure zero leakage:
- Double Sealing System: We offer two variants, Metal-to-Metal and Fluoroplastic-to-Metal. The fluoroplastic inlays provide a primary soft seal, while the metal-to-metal contact acts as a secondary failsafe.
- Self-Cleaning Function: The fluoroplastic seat inserts naturally wipe away dirt, scale, and debris from the gate disc during operation, preventing seat damage.
- Grease Injection System: An external grease injection nipple allows operators to inject sealing compounds directly into the seat area to achieve emergency bubble-tightness.
Core Product Features
- Full Bore Flow: In the fully open position, the conduit design creates a smooth, continuous path. The flow resistance coefficient is negligible, resulting in zero pressure loss.
- Protected Sealing Surfaces: Unlike standard gate valves, the seat faces are isolated from the flow stream, significantly extending the service life of the valve.
- Bi-Directional Tightness: The slab gate structure secures tightness against the seal regardless of flow direction or disc position (open/closed).
- O-Ring Pre-Load: The valve seat adopts O-ring seals and a floating seat structure to ensure a tight seal even at low line pressures.
