Description
Forged Steel Gate Valve Technical Data Sheet
(Free Forging Process / Welded Connection / ASTM A182 F11 Body / Pressure Self-Sealing Bonnet)
Product Name: Forged Steel Pressure Self-Sealing Bonnet Gate Valve (Welded Ends)
- Product Overview
This valve features a free forging process for the body, ensuring superior grain structure and mechanical properties compared to castings. It is designed with a pressure self-sealing bonnet (pressure seal design) , where the sealing performance increases with internal pressure, making it ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. The body material is ASTM A182 F11 (1.25% Chrome – 0.5% Molybdenum alloy steel) , offering excellent creep resistance and high-temperature strength. Connections are butt-weld ends (BW) per ASME B16.25, providing leak-free piping systems. Designed in accordance with API 602 I ASME B16.34.

- Pressure Self-Sealing Bonnet (Pressure Seal) Characteristics
- Principle of Operation: The self-sealing bonnet utilizes a sealing gasket (typically stainless steel/graphite laminate or solid metal “pressure seal” ring) . The bonnet is secured by a threaded bonnet ring. When internal pressure is applied, it forces the bonnet upward, compressing the gasket radially against the body bore. The higher the internal pressure, the tighter the seal .
- Advantages for High Pressure:
- Eliminates large, heavy flanges and numerous stud bolts required for high-pressure ratings.
- Provides a positive, leak-proof seal that is self-energizing.
- Reduces weight and envelope size compared to bolted bonnet designs.
- Ideal for cyclic temperature and pressure services.
- Sealing Gasket: Typically flexible graphite laminated with stainless steel for high-temperature resilience and chemical resistance .
- Main Technical Characteristics
- Free Forged Body: The forging process refines the grain structure of the A182 F11 alloy, eliminating porosity and providing superior strength and integrity compared to castings. Essential for high-pressure applications .
- Pressure Self-Sealing Bonnet: As described in Section 4, this design ensures leak-proof operation under extreme pressures. The bonnet is easily removable for maintenance .
- Welded Connection (BW Ends): Butt-weld ends per ASME B16.25 provide a permanent, leak-free connection to the piping system, eliminating flange gasket maintenance and potential leak paths .
- A182 F11 Alloy Steel Construction: 1.25% Chrome – 0.5% Molybdenum steel offers excellent resistance to high-temperature creep, oxidation, and corrosion in steam, oil, and gas services up to 550°C .
- Hard-Faced Seats (Stellite): The wedge and seat sealing surfaces are overlaid with Stellite (Cobalt-based alloy) , ensuring long life in erosive high-velocity services .
- Rising Stem & OS&Y: Clear visual indication of valve position. Outside screw design prevents thread contact with the line media .
- Backseat Design: Allows for repacking under pressure when the valve is fully open .
- API 602 Compliance: Designed to the rigorous requirements of API 602 for forged steel valves, ensuring robust construction and reliable performance .
- Principal Dimensions & Connection Data (Reference Class 1500 BW)
*Note: Final dimensions subject to approval drawings. Conforms to API 602 / ASME B16.10.*
