Two way gate valve

Whether you are new to two way gate valves or if you are familiar with the product, there are some important factors you should know. These factors include pressure, downstream and upstream interfaces, Seal casing 668, and monolithic seat. These factors will help you determine the right valve for your application.

Upstream and downstream interfaces

When building two way gate valves in water systems, it is vital to take into consideration the potential for flow distortions as well as metering mistakes. These distortions can result in mistakes that are at least fifty percent off. These inaccuracies can have a substantial impact on the accuracy of water meters.


The primary purpose of the research was to determine how much of an effect the upstream and downstream interfaces of two-way gate valves have on the accuracy of the measurements. In addition, the degree to which a valve is closed was investigated to see how that affected the accuracy of the measurements taken by the meters.



A number of valves were put through their paces in a variety of opening and positioning configurations. According to the findings of these studies, the influence that upstream valves have on the accuracy of measurements varies depending on the type of valve. The primary factor that determines the effect that upstream valves have on the accuracy of measurements is the degree to which they are closed.

Seat pocket protectors

In most cases, a fullway gate valve will consist of two primary components. The first type is the conventional seat pocket, which resembles a pit within the valve body. An additional characteristic is the insert, which is what makes up the interface between the seat and the valve body. The pocket is often machined into the body of the item. In certain circumstances, a retaining collar is utilized in order to force the insert into the valve body.


The insert is crafted from a material that possesses a level of brittleness that is significantly lower than that of the inner face of the seat/valve body 635. Because of this, replacing it is now much simpler. It also has a higher level of durability. In addition, the insert is constructed from a material that is slightly larger than necessary.


Upstream and downstream pressures

Flow through two way pressure seal gate valves is primarily determined by the pressure difference between upstream and downstream pressure. If the pressure difference is too large, the flow rate is reduced, and if the pressure difference is too low, the flow rate is increased.

The flow rate is proportional to the square of the pressure drop. This is also called the pressure coefficient. The pressure coefficient can be calculated by analyzing the flow capacity and velocity of the fluid or pipe.

For a gate valve, the pressure drop is proportional to the velocity of the fluid. It can be calculated using either the flow coefficient Kv or the flow coefficient Cv.
