BDK DN200 8″ Cast Steel Gate Valve Class 600

THE TRIM IS 8#.

The BDK DN200 8″ Cast Steel Gate Valve Class 600 is a robust industrial valve designed for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. BDK, a brand under the Flowserve group, manufactures reliable and durable valves commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and water treatment.

Key Features:

1. Size and Material:

   • Nominal Diameter: DN200 (8 inches)
   • Material: Cast Steel, suitable for high-strength applications and resistance to high temperatures and pressures.

2. Pressure Rating:

   • Class 600: Indicates the valve can handle a maximum pressure of approximately 1440 psi (pounds per square inch) at 100°F (38°C), with variations based on temperature.

3. Design Type:

   • Gate Valve: Designed to completely stop or allow flow. It uses a gate mechanism that moves up or down perpendicular to the flow direction.
   • Rising Stem (common in gate valves): Provides a visual indication of valve position.

4. End Connections:

   • Typically available with flanged or butt-weld ends for secure and leak-free connection to pipelines.

5. Standards and Compliance:

   • Manufactured in accordance with API 600, ASME B16.34, or equivalent standards.
   • Ensures reliability and compatibility with global systems.

6. Sealing:

   • Hard-faced or soft-seated options for the gate and seat surfaces to ensure tight shutoff.

7. Temperature and Pressure Compatibility:

   • Suitable for use in both high-temperature and cryogenic applications, depending on the trim and seat material.

8. Applications:

   • Commonly used in pipelines for on-off control where minimal flow restriction is required.
   • Ideal for handling water, steam, gas, oil, and non-corrosive fluids.

Benefits:

• Durable Construction: Cast steel body ensures long service life under demanding conditions.
• Low Flow Resistance: Gate design minimizes pressure drop when fully open.
• Leak Tightness: Designed for high sealing performance.

Maintenance and Operation:

• Regular maintenance and inspection are recommended to ensure long-term performance.
• Operated manually, via an actuator, or remotely for automation.
