Gate Valve ( DN50 to DN1200 )

Body Material: Ductile iron, also known as nodular cast iron . Ductile iron offers high strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. 

Gate Design: The valve has a gate or wedge mechanism that is used to control the flow of fluid. The gate can either be a solid wedge or a flexible wedge, allowing for a tight seal against the seats. 

Rising or Non-rising Stem: Gate valves can have either a rising stem (the stem moves up and down as the valve is opened or closed) or a non-rising stem (the stem stays in a fixed position). 

Seating Surface: The gate valve typically has two seating surfaces where the gate makes contact to form a tight seal and prevent leakage. 

Rubber or Metal Seals: Seals made of materials like rubber or metal may be used to enhance the sealing capabilities of the valve. 

Manual or Actuated: Ductile iron gate valves can be operated manually using a handwheel or actuated using electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuators for remote control. 

Flanged or Threaded Ends: Gate valves can have flanged ends for bolting to pipeline flanges or threaded ends for connection to pipes with matching threads. 

Water and Wastewater Systems: Ductile iron gate valves are commonly used in water treatment plants, distribution systems, and wastewater applications. 

Industrial Processes: They are suitable for various industrial applications where on/off control of fluid flow is required. 

Varied Sizes: Ductile iron gate valves are available in a range of sizes to accommodate different pipeline requirements. 

API, ANSI, or DIN Standards: Depending on the intended use and location, ductile iron gate valves may comply with industry standards such as those set by the American Petroleum Institute (API), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), or Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN).
