PNEUMATIC ACUTATORS:
Flow-age Cylinder Actuators provide a versatile method to automate Knife Edge Gate Valve.
As more processes and systems move to automated control and monitoring, the need for actuated knife gate and slide gate valves becomes apparent. Flow-age manufactures an extensive range of pneumatic cylinder actuator for line valve automation requirements. Actuation provides remote, out-of-sight operation, faster cycling, lower operating costs, better processes management and safer operation.
Air and Hydraulic cylinder actuators from Flow-age provide a versatile and cost effective method of automation. This adds up to a greater value for you.

DESIGN & TESTING
MSS SP 81 applies only to bonnet less metal-seated knife gate valves, 2 to 24 size, 150 psi CWP. Sizes above 24 are not covered under this standard. Additionally resilient seated knife gate, slide gate valves are no taken standard MSS SP 81. These products are subject to the individual manufacturers internal testing & design standard.
Body MSS SP-81 requires the valve body (pressure vessel and related structure) to designed for and hydrostatically pressure tested to 1.5 times the rated working pressure
# Valve rated pressure 150 psi
# Body test pressure 225 psi
Gate MSS SP-81 requires the gate to be designed for and hydrostatically pressure tested to 1.1 times the rated working pressure
# Valve rated pressure 225 psi
# Gate test pressure 165 psi
Seat - MSS SP 81 has an allowable leakage rate (for metal to metal seated valves) of 40 cc per inch of diameter, per minute at 40 psi pressure. On a 12 valves this would be equal 40 times 12, or 480 cc per minute at 40 psi.
Face To Face MSS-SP-81 has specified face-to-face dimension and tolerance of each valve size to assure ease of installation for the consumer, regardless of the valve manufacturer. See catalogue for dimension. |
