Gate Valves Flexi Wedge Design

We recommend the highly versatile Hopkinsons® Flexi Wedge design as gate valve which is designed for containment isolation duties.

The outstanding feature of the parallel slide design is that of maintaining fluid-tightness without the aid of wedging action. No mechanical stress is exerted between the discs, and there are no problems associated with cool-down of the fluid.

VENTURI DESIGN

  • The Venturi design is used when a slightly higher pressure drop is acceptable. The well established principle of fluid flow through a Venturi is used in order to minimize pressure drop.

  • Venturi valves incorporate the design feature of an eye follower. In the fully open position the eye follower bridges the gap between the seats thus giving a smooth flow path and completing the Venturi profile.

APPLICATIONS

  • General purpose stop valve

  • Main steam and feedwater isolation

  • Boiler circulating pump isolation

  • The basic design is also incorporated in valves for other duties such as: Feedwater heater protection; Feed pump leak-off; Nuclear Applications (ASME Section III, Class 1, 2 & 3); Oil & Gas applications upstream, midstream, and downstream
