DIN 3202-F4 Gate Valve

The German standard Gate Valve F4 and F5 are one of the German standard valves. At present, the German standard gate valve is widely used in Europe, but other countries will also choose the German standard gate valve according to the actual situation. It can be said that the German standard gate valve is a recognized excellent standard gate valve.

When the gate valve is closed, the sealing surface can only rely on the medium pressure to seal, that is, relying on the medium pressure to press the sealing surface of the gate to the valve seat on the other side to ensure the sealing of the sealing surface, which is self-sealing. Most gate valves are forced to seal, that is, when the valve is closed, the gate must be forced against the valve seat by external force to ensure the tightness of the sealing surface.
The gate of the gate valve moves linearly with the valve stem, which is called a lift-rod gate valve (also called an open-rod gate valve). Usually, there are trapezoidal threads on the lift rod. Through the nut at the top of the valve and the guide groove on the valve body, the rotary motion is changed into a linear motion, that is, the operating torque is changed into the operating thrust.
When the valve is opened, when the lift height of the gate is equal to 1:1 times the diameter of the valve, the fluid channel is completely unobstructed, but this position cannot be monitored during operation. In actual use, the apex of the valve stem is used as a sign, that is, the position where it cannot be opened, as its fully open position. In order to take into account the lock-up phenomenon due to temperature changes, it is usually opened to the top position, and then back to 1/2-1 turn, as the position of the fully open valve. Therefore, the fully open position of the valve, according to the position of the gate


Precautions:

The handwheel, handle and transmission mechanism are not allowed to be used for lifting, and collision is strictly prohibited.
Double-gate gate valves should be installed vertically (ie, the stem is in the vertical position and the handwheel is on top).
The gate valve with the bypass valve should open the bypass valve before opening (to balance the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet and reduce the opening force).
The gate valve with transmission mechanism shall be installed according to the provisions of the product instruction manual.
If the valve is used frequently, lubricate it at least once a month.

The advantages of gate valves are as follows:
1. The fluid resistance is small, and the sealing surface is less brushed and eroded by the medium.
2. It is more labor-saving to open and close.
3. The flow direction of the medium is not restricted, the flow is not disturbed, and the pressure is not reduced.
4. The shape is simple, the structure length is short, the manufacturing process is good, and the application range is wide.
The disadvantages of gate valves are as follows:
1. It is easy to cause erosion and scratches between the sealing surfaces, and it is difficult to maintain.
2. The overall size is large, a certain space is required to open, and the opening and closing time is long.

Application range of gate valve
Cast steel gate valve is suitable for the conversion method of nominal pressure 4.0 MPa ~ 10.0 MPa MPa (1 MPa = 10 kg), and the working temperature is minus 29 to 600 degrees Celsius in petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, fertilizer, power industries, etc. On the pipelines of various working conditions, the pipeline medium is cut off or connected, and adjustment and throttling cannot be performed. Applicable media are: water, oil, steam, acidic media, etc.



Installation
1. Check the valve cavity and sealing surface before installation, and no dirt or sand is allowed to adhere; 2. The bolts of each connecting part should be tightened evenly; 3. Check the packing parts and require compression, which not only ensures the tightness of the packing , but also to ensure that the gate can be opened flexibly; 4. Before installing the valve, the user must check the valve model, connection size and pay attention to the flow direction of the medium to ensure consistency with the valve requirements; 5. When installing the valve, the user must reserve the valve drive Necessary space; 6. The wiring of the drive device must be carried out according to the circuit diagram; 7. The gate valve must be maintained regularly, and must not be bumped and squeezed at will, so as not to affect the sealing.
