Increase in the Working Capacity of Christmas-Tree Gate Valves Based on Studying the Wear Mechanism of a Gate and Seat Pair

  • Published:
Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

It is established by laboratory bench-test experiments that with the existing gate valve construction with a parallel-sided gate under medium pressure pulsations there is wear of surfaces in contact due to fretting corrosion. The materials used, assembly structural parameters, and vibration have the greatest effect on wear intensity. Recommendations are made for improving the design of the locking assembly for direct-flow high-pressure gate valves.
