III. Core Features
Flexible Wedge Design
The split wedge design with precision-machined sealing surfaces ensures uniform contact with valve seats, minimizing wear and providing reliable shut-off even under thermal expansion or pipeline stress. The flexible structure accommodates minor misalignments and prevents jamming, extending service life in high-cycle applications.
Pressure Seal Bonnet Technology
Unlike conventional bolted bonnets, the pressure seal design uses system pressure to enhance sealing integrity. As internal pressure increases, the bonnet seal tightens dynamically, eliminating leak paths and reducing maintenance needs. This makes it ideal for high-pressure steam systems where flange leaks could pose safety risks.
High-Temperature Resistance
Valve components are crafted from heat-resistant alloy steels (e.g., F91, WC9) capable of withstanding prolonged exposure to superheated steam up to 540°C. Specialized heat treatment processes ensure dimensional stability and resistance to creep deformation under extreme thermal loads.
Full Bore Flow Path
The full bore design minimizes pressure drop and turbulence, reducing energy consumption and improving system efficiency. This is critical for applications requiring high flow capacity, such as power plant main steam lines and refinery pipelines.
