Pipeline Slab Gate Valves

Slab gate valves are full port valves which means the hole in the gate is exactly the same size as the pipe.

Pipeline slab gate valves.

The slab gate valve with a diversion hole with a dark. Therefore virtually no resistance to. Pig launchers and receivers. Cameron also offers the wkm saf t seal slab gate valve and the wkm pow r seal expanding gate valve for a comprehensive midstream gate valve portfolio.

This type of valve is very useful in transportation pipelines for gas crude oil and oil products. Full bore allows for pigs scrapers. The slab gate valves are thru conduit and piggable. Single or double disc slab gate valves are suitable for oil and gas pipelines with dn50 dn300 class150 900 pn1 0 16 0 mpa operating temperature 29 121.

In service these valves are either in a fully open or fully closed position. When the gate valve is fully open the disk of a gate valve is completely removed from the flow. Bosses for taps bypass. In open position slab gate allows the running of pigs scraper wipers or hot tap cutters through the pipeline with no danger or damage to the internal mechanic components of the valve.

A gate valve is the most common type of valve used in any process plant. For example crude oil gasoline and diesel few are also gas service components. It utilizes two floating seats to provide a complete seal with the gate. Block bleed capable.

Slab gate valve allow the pipeline fluids to flow freely with a minimum of turbulence. Oil and gas transmission. Usually a slab gate valves manufacturer will design it with a single gate component which can be raised and lowered between two seated rings and are majorly used for transferring petroleum products. This full port design provides full flow through the valve and low pressure drop and it allows for pigging the line when needed.

The slab gate when opened interior has been designed to minimize pressure drop and catch foreign materials into the disc cavity and also avoid the turbulence of the fluid throughout the valve. In the case of pipeline with piggable design use a rising stem gate valve with a diversion hole. These can be used widely in pumping stations according to the length of the. Ring joint bonnet gaskets class 600lb 4500lb.

Through conduit slab gate valves provide superior bubble tight sealing capabilities in gas service and unmatched robustness in harsh services with. Slab gate valves applications. It is a linear motion valve used to start or stop fluid flow. Each seat contains a metal seat face plus a peripheral seal.

Emergency shut off valves. An outlook idea of slab gate valves. The cameron wkm saf t seal slab gate valve is a simple yet rugged and reliable through conduit valve. Full flow design keeps line scrapers.

Slab gate valves are used mostly for petroleum products including crude. Continual low turbulent flow.
