F6 Trim means that STEM, BODY seating surface, GATE seating surface, bushing (or a deposited weld), for the backseat and stem hole guide, small internal parts that normally contact the service fluid, excluding the pin that is used to make a stem-to-gate connection (this pin shall be made of an austenitic stainless steel material) are made of a 13Cr material (typical specification type ASTM A276T410 or T420). See API STD 600 - 2009.
WC9 is cast P22.
it is a high pressure value yes it is a high pressure valve but particularly it is cast P11
Inlet Guide Valves
after the main safety valves are open
Sodium is a solid at room temperature and becomes a liquid at 97.5 degrees Celsius. Sodium cooled valves are exhaust valves in a cylinder head of an engine that open to release exhaust gasses that were formed due to combustion of fuel and air inside the cylinders and typically get very hot. The sodium cooled valves and exhaust valves filled with sodium inside, the sodium helps the valves be cooler than if they were just solid.
The ideal thickness will have no obstruction in flow, meaning that no friction will be lost.
How to adjust and instruction
Gate valves are used for high pressure services. Gate valves may have a union, bolted or screw-in bonnet. Another type of bonnet is a pressure seal bonnet.
the disadvantages are that over a period of time gate valves seize and become in operable. also the handles of gate valves corrode quickly and gate valves don't entirely close properly making it difficult to solder. Gate valves are used for positive shut off and Gate valves are not designed for throttling like a globe pattern type . Gate valve fail because the installer has no idea what these types of valves are intended to do such as main steam shut off's or water mains..If properly used and installed correctly these valves last over 100 years under extream conditions

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.

There are numerous types of valves. Each has a specific function and usage and differs from the others. From seismic , to pressure they can be specialized or simple in function. A valves purpose is to allow, stop, or reduce flow of a substance thru a pipe. Most common valves on homes would be gate and ball valves. In order to learn which valves are best for your application, consult a professional. types below, that i can think of off the top of my head, there are more i am sure. -ball gate mixing pressure reducing butterfly cocks angle temperature seismic ansul backflow check
Gate valves used to be, now they are being superseded by ball valves.
gate in full
Because someone did NOT follow instructions and used the gate to throttle instead of using a globe pattern type of valve
They are usually ceramic disc's in gate valves , best thing is to buy the whole tap hat for it.
