Application scenarios
Isolation of Abrasive Slurry Lines in Mineral Processing
Used for on-off isolation in slurry transport and tailings pipelines at mineral processing plants. This series is designed for abrasive and corrosive slurries, can be configured with field-replaceable polyurethane liners, and isolates slurry lines through a bidirectional sealing design.
Corrosive Slurry Transfer and Equipment Isolation in Chemical Processing
Used to isolate corrosive slurry pipelines containing solid particles and the inlet and outlet connections of related equipment in chemical production. This series offers a variety of stainless steel and corrosion-resistant alloy materials, and uses a two-piece bolted valve body that allows material selection based on the corrosivity of the medium.
Selection points
Field-Replaceable Polyurethane Liner
The Series 755 features a field-replaceable polyurethane liner for abrasive slurry applications. The liner has a maximum operating temperature of 80°C.
Bidirectional Zero-Leakage Shutoff Seat
A steel-reinforced molded perimeter seat provides bidirectional zero-leakage shutoff, making it suitable for applications requiring bidirectional isolation.
Wafer-Style Two-Piece Bolted Body
The valve body features a wafer-style, two-piece bolted construction for easy maintenance of internal components.
Multiple Body and Gate Material Options
The body is available in ductile iron, WCB, and various stainless steel materials. Gate options include 304, 316, and 317 stainless steel, as well as SAF duplex steel, Hastelloy C, and Monel, allowing selection based on media corrosiveness and wear risk.
Multiple Actuation Options
Handwheel, bevel gear, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric actuation options are available to meet manual or automated control requirements.
Installation & maintenance notes
Verify Polyurethane Liner Temperature Limit
Before installation, verify that the media temperature does not exceed the polyurethane liner's maximum allowable temperature of 80°C.
Verify System Pressure Meets Valve Limits
Before installation and commissioning, verify that the system operating pressure does not exceed the valve's allowable pressure limit.
FAQ
How does the Series 755 bidirectional knife gate valve work?
The Series 755 achieves bidirectional zero-leakage shutoff through its two-piece body and steel-reinforced seat. The field-replaceable polyurethane liner improves durability in abrasive slurry applications and supports use in corrosive operating conditions.
What body materials are available for the Series 755 during valve selection?
Available materials include ductile iron, carbon steel (WCB), CF8, CF8M stainless steel, and CF3M stainless steel to accommodate different corrosive media and temperature conditions. The specific configuration should be confirmed based on the medium and operating conditions.
What are the pressure rating and size range of the Series 755?
The maximum allowable operating pressure is 240 psi (16 bar), with sizes ranging from NPS 2 to 24 (DN 60–600).
How are the gate and seat materials suited to abrasive media?
Gate materials include multiple stainless steel grades and alloys, such as 304, 316, 317, SAF 2507, SAF 2205, 17-4PH, Hastelloy C, and Monel. The steel-reinforced perimeter seat provides bidirectional zero-leakage shutoff. The specific materials should be confirmed based on the medium and temperature conditions.
What are the common maintenance points and installation considerations?
The two-piece body design facilitates maintenance, while the field-replaceable polyurethane liner helps extend service life. Actuator options include handwheel, gear, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric configurations. Installation should follow the guidance of applicable standards such as MSS SP81/SP151. Specific maintenance procedures should be confirmed based on the actual valve configuration and site conditions.
