Ductile Iron 50mm to 600mm DI Sluice Valve, For Industrial & Irrigation

Product Details

Ductile Iron Sluice (Gate) ValveDuctile iron, also known as ductile cast iron, SG iron, is a type of graphite-rich cast iron discovered in 1943  While most varieties of cast iron are weak in tension and brittle, ductile iron has much more impact and fatigue resistance, due to its nodular graphite inclusions.A Ductile Iron Gate valve is a type of gate valve which is made using ductile iron material. Ductile iron is also known as nodular cast iron or ductile cast iron. Ductile Iron Gate valves have high fatigue and impact strength due to use of ductile iron material. Ductile Iron Gate valves are more ductile due to the use of "ductile iron" material. This ductility makes the ductile Iron Gate valve have excellent ductility which helps to resist impact and bending. Ductile Iron Gate valve manufacturers design these valves for use in high temperatures such as 730 oC. These valves are also meant for use in high-pressure applications of around 640 psi. Ductile Iron Gate valves have excellent corrosion resistance. One of the main challenges of ductile Iron Gate valves is that they are a bit expensive relative to other types of gate valves such as cast iron gate valves. The high cost is due to its complex chemical makeup. Summary A Ductile Iron Gate valve is a type of gate valve that is made of ductile iron material. Ductile iron material is a strong metallic material compared to cast iron material in terms of strength and impact resistance. Ductile Iron Gate valve manufacturers design these valves for use in on and off applications where there is high temperature and high pressure. Ductile Iron Gate valves are more expensive relative to other gate valves due to their complex chemical makeup. Ductile Iron Gate valves use a gate to close and open fluid flow. The gate is raised or lowered to open or close fluid flow respectively. Ductile Iron Gate valves are operated manually using a handwheel or they are automated using actuators. Ductile Iron Gate valve manufacturers produce different types of ductile Iron Gate valves such as rising and non-rising stem, wedge gate, through conduit, parallel slide gate, and knife gate valves among others. Ductile Iron Gate valves are used in different applications such as mining, chemicals, paper and pulp, foods and beverages, pharmaceuticals, water supply, steam power plants, natural liquid gas, and crude oil among others. Advantages of using Ductile Iron Gate valves are versatility, durability, bi-directional fluid flow, low-pressure loss, zero leakage and high strength among others.
