Ultra-high Pressure Self Pressure Sealing Forged Gate Valves

In the development of gate valves, the United States has always taken the lead. In the 1960s, the United States began to study the high-pressure gate valve with 105MPa. With the increase in pressure, the structure of the gate valve has also undergone tremendous changes, from a rising stem to a non rising stem. In the 1970s, research on the gate valve focused on materials and processes, and now a series of materials and process forms of gate valve parts have been formed; in the 1980s,...
