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 use of Wellhead Equipment in Oil and Gas Industry?

Wellhead equipment are used in connecting the casing and tubing to an oil or gas pipeline. These are useful in suspending the casing strings and help seal the well. The casing is a permanently-installed pipe for lining the well hole to provide pressure containment and prevent collapse. Wellhead equipment are known as the flanged devices that are attached to the casing and they include a number of other components such as casing heads, casing spools, tubing head spools, tees, and crosses. The casing head is part of the connection between the casing and the wellhead equipment itself. Usually, many pieces of wellhead equipment are assembled together into one a single unit that is called a "Christmas tree". These are important for the tubing to be placed into the well while valves and chokes are used to control the flow of oil and/or gas at the surface. Wellheads and and its components may be located on offshore platforms, in sub-sea locations, or onshore.

What does a prospector do in mining?

A prospector is responsible for exploring potential mining sites to determine the presence of valuable minerals or resources.
