Coal Tar Coated RS Gate Valves
Description
API 600 Rising Stem Gate Valve Technical Data Sheet
(Hard Seat / Coal Tar Epoxy Coated)
Product Name: API 600 Bolted Bonnet Rising Stem Gate Valve (OS&Y)
Model: Z41H/Y – Class 150Lb ~ 600Lb
Date: February 16, 2026
1. Product Overview
This valve features an Outside Screw and Yoke (OS&Y) rising stem design. It is strictly designed according to API 600 (the benchmark standard for steel gate valves) and ASME B16.34 for pressure-temperature ratings. The disc and seat feature a hard-face seal (metal-to-metal ground fit), making it suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure, and erosive media. The external surface is protected by a Coal Tar Epoxy coating, providing exceptional resistance to soil corrosion and saline environments. It is particularly recommended for buried pipelines, marine terminals, and petrochemical refining projects.

3. Material of Parts Specification
Note: The following is a typical carbon steel configuration (suitable for Coal Tar Epoxy coating). Alloy steel can be selected based on service conditions.
| Part Name | Material / Grade | Material Properties & Application |
|---|---|---|
| Body | Carbon Steel (ASTM A216 WCB) | Good strength and weldability. Substrate for the Coal Tar Epoxy coating. |
| Bonnet | Carbon Steel (ASTM A216 WCB) | Same material as body to ensure galvanic compatibility. |
| Wedge (Gate) | Carbon Steel with Hardfacing (Stellite 6/21) | Sealing surface overlaid with hard alloy for high hardness and erosion resistance. |
| Seat Ring (Sealing Face) | Hardfacing (Stellite 6/21) or Integral Machined Surface | Ground metal-to-metal hard seat, achieving zero or low leakage standards. |
| Stem | Stainless Steel (ASTM A182 F6a / F304) | High strength and corrosion resistance. F6a typically requires chrome plating to reduce friction. |
| Stem Nut | Aluminum Bronze (C95400) / Ductile Iron | High strength, self-lubricating, prevents stem galling. |
| Packing | Flexible Graphite | High-temperature resistance, self-lubricating, reliable sealing. |
| Gasket | Spiral Wound Gasket (SS+Graphite) / Solid Metal Ring (RTJ) | Ensures leak-proof sealing under high temperature and pressure. |
| External Coating | Coal Tar Epoxy | Specifically for heavy-duty anti-corrosion. Superior water resistance, chemical resistance, and cathodic disbondment resistance. Ideal for buried or underwater pipelines. |

5. Main Technical Characteristics
-
Rising Stem (OS&Y) Design: The stem rises and lowers with the wedge. The valve opening position is visually indicated by the stem position relative to the yoke.
-
API 600 Heavy-Duty Design: Conforms to API 600 requirements, including minimum wall thickness, bonnet thickness, stem diameter, and seat ring dimensions, ensuring robustness and long service life.
-
Hard-Face Seat Design: The sealing surfaces of the wedge and seat are overlaid with hard alloy (e.g., Stellite) . This hardened surface maintains reliable sealing even in media containing solid particles.
-
Flexible Wedge Option: For Class 300 and above, or for larger diameters, a flexible wedge design compensates for thermal distortions and prevents jamming.
-
Coal Tar Epoxy Heavy-Duty Coating: This coating is the preferred anti-corrosion solution for buried and marine services. It effectively isolates water, oxygen, and ionic penetration.
-
Backseat Design: Allows for repacking under pressure (online maintenance).
