This is the preferred valve for installations where weight reduction of system structures is required or where spacing problems occur in comparison to other similar type valves.
They are also used to prevent backflow.
Widely used on offshore platforms for the extraction of crude oil, gas and their derivatives.
Used to prevent backflow; usually fitted downstream of a pump.
When installed, the valve is positioned in between the conduit companion flanges.
Central shaft is supported by retainers assembled inside the body and fixed by tightening bolts, avoiding leakage to the atmosphere as there are no connections to the outside of the body.
Cast iron refurbishing qualified in accordance with ASME B16.34 radiographic requirements
