3. Close Die Forging Advantages
-
Superior Mechanical Properties – Uniform, dense grain structure without porosity, inclusions, or shrinkage defects.
-
High Strength – Ideal for extreme pressures up to Class 2500 (42 MPa).
-
Excellent Toughness – A105N normalizing improves low‑temperature impact resistance.
-
Leak‑Free Integrity – Forged body eliminates weld seams and casting defects.
4. Performance Features
-
High Pressure / High Temperature Capability – Designed and tested for Class 2500 service, suitable for steam, boiler feedwater, and high‑pressure hydrocarbon lines.
-
RTJ Connection – Ring type joint ensures metal‑to‑metal seal, ideal for high‑pressure and high‑temperature applications where spiral wound gaskets may fail.
-
OS&Y (Rising Stem) – Stem threads are outside the pressure boundary, protecting them from media corrosion and allowing visual position indication.
-
Hardfaced Trim (Stellite) – Gate and seat rings have Stellite overlay for wear resistance and long cycle life in severe service.
-
Flexible Graphite Packing – Provides low emission performance, suitable for steam and thermal cycling.
-
Close Die Forged Body – No castings, no porosity; fully traceable material.
5. Applications
-
Power plants (high‑pressure steam, boiler isolation)
-
Oil & gas production (wellheads, manifold, high‑pressure pipelines)
-
Refineries and petrochemical plants (high‑temperature hydrocarbon service)
-
Hydraulic systems (extreme pressure)
-
Chemical processing (with appropriate material upgrade to stainless or alloy)
6. Testing & Compliance
| Test | Standard / Requirement |
|---|---|
| Shell Test | 1.5 × Class 2500 (63 MPa / 9135 psi) – no visible leakage |
| Seat Test | 1.1 × Class 2500 (46.2 MPa / 6700 psi) – per API 598 |
| Backseat Test | 1.1 × Class 2500 |
| Low‑Pressure Seat Test | 0.6 MPa (87 psi) – acceptable leakage per API 598 (Table 5 for gate valves) |
| Material Traceability | EN 10204 3.1 (standard for forged components) |
| NACE Compliance | Optional (MR0175 / MR0103) |
| Marking | Per MSS SP‑25 / API 602 |
7. Actuation Options (Beyond Standard Handwheel)
| Actuator | Description |
|---|---|
| Gear Operator | For easier manual operation at high pressure |
| Pneumatic Actuator | Double‑acting or spring‑return for remote on‑off |
| Electric Actuator | For automated control with position feedback |
8. Ordering Information
Please specify:
-
Valve size: 2″
-
Pressure rating: Class 2500
-
End connection: RTJ (ring type joint)
-
Body material: A105N / F22 / F316
-
Trim: API 602 Trim 8 (13Cr + Stellite) or other
-
Operation: Handwheel / Gear / Pneumatic / Electric
-
Special requirements: NACE MR0175, low‑emission packing, positive material identification (PMI), etc.
Notes:
-
Close die forging ensures the highest integrity for Class 2500 service. A105N provides good toughness at low temperatures.
-
RTJ gaskets (e.g., oval or octagonal rings) are required for assembly – not included with valve unless specified.
-
Dimensions and weights are typical; final values depend on manufacturer and specific design (e.g., full bore or reduced bore).
-
For high‑temperature applications above 425°C, upgrade to F22 (chrome‑moly) or F91 material.
