Generally speaking, gate valves in larger sizes are full bore unless you order a reduced port. You would always use a full bore gate valve for hot tapping purposes. or you would use a full bore gate vale for runinig a pig in pipeline.

What is the use and features of the Expanding gate valves?

Expanding gate valves are used in various industrial areas like isolation valves in power plants, ESD valves in production, block valves in process systems, high temperature valves in refineries, and pipeline valves in critical areas. These expanding gate valves manufactured by various manufacturers are available in all the sizes, pressure ranges, and trims used in piping systems requiring the positive shut off of liquid or gas. The expanding gate valves are full bore through conduit valves with rising stem and parallel expanding gate and segment for tight mechanical seal and positive shutoff, both upstream and downstream, and under both low and high differential pressure. An expanding gate valves should have the following features: Parallel expanding gate design creates positive mechanical seal across both seats, both upstream and downstream, with or without line pressure. Non-rising stem permits valve installation in pressure drop.


What is the difference between gate and latch in digital electronics?

The difference between a latch and a flip-flop is that a latch does not have a clock signal, whereas a flip-flop always does. Apart from the clock signal difference, ~ Latch is a level sensitive device while flip-flop is an edge sensitive device. ~ Latch is sensitive to glitches on enable pin, whereas flip-flop is immune to glitches. ~ Latches take less gates (also less power) to implement than flip-flops. ~ Latches are faster than flip-flops.

Does API 6D specifically indicate full bore opening?

API 6D does not specifically mandate a full bore opening for all valves; however, it does specify that ball and gate valves should provide a full bore option to facilitate pipeline cleaning and maintenance. The standard emphasizes the importance of flow characteristics and pressure drop, which are often best achieved with full bore designs. Ultimately, the choice of valve type and design may depend on the application and system requirements.

What does the gate valve's advantages?

The gate valve has NO advantages that I can easily think of. They are slow and clumsy to operate, they are prone to corrosion and they have a bad habit of breaking the shaft. If I had my way, I would replace every gate valve with a ball valve which is easier to use, easier to see if open or shut and far more reliable.

What is the difference between gate valve and globe valve?

The external housing (shell) of gate and globe valves are similar, but the globe valve is designed to serve as a regulating valve, meaning that it can adjust the flow by the percentage of the opening. However, the gate valve is not designed to regulate flow, but to stop the flow. A gate valve should always be either fully open or fully closed. The main difference is in the form of the inner elements and the form of the flow inside the valves. In addition, the gate valve may have a rising or non rising stem while the globe valve is typically a rising stem design. The direction of flow through a gate valve is not important. However a globe valve has a flow direction indicated on the outer shell (body) which indicates the direction of flow from beneath the seat. In a gate valve, the closure element is a plate or disk which travels parallel to the plane of the seat. The gate in a dam is a well known example. In a globe valve, the closure element is usually called a "poppet", and it travels perpendicular to the plane of the seat. There are specific advantages and disadvantages to each type depending on the application. The application for a globe valve is regulating flow. It is not well suited for full stop isolation. The gate valve is an isolation valve and not designed to regulate flow.
