Application & Function
Forged Steel Gate Valves are primarily used for high-pressure steam, air, gas, oil, and other fluids. Their compact size makes them suitable for tight installations.
These valves provide tight shut-off and minimal pressure drop when fully open. They are commonly found in power plants, refineries, and process industries.
Design Features
Manufactured from forged carbon steel (A 105) to ensure structural integrity under high pressure. The bolted bonnet design ensures easy maintenance and a reliable seal.
