Gate valves
The invention
  • The problem to be solved:
    High quality can be produced and in the same time production cost reduced, significantly comparing to the traditional technology.
  • Definition:
    The flanged gate valve is designed to be mounted between flanges. The gate is mountable into the single-piece cast housing through the flow tunnel. The gate body is supported by bearing, and the lug of the guide rail is made of the same material as the gate body
  • Presentation:
    The gate valve housing is made of a one piece eliminating the bonnet. The gate is mounted into the housing through the tunnel. The tunnel is widened in the direction of the valve mounting to facilitate the guide lug approach. After mounting the gate through the tunnel the guide bearing of the gate can be mounted in the fully open state of the valve. The bearing is secured by sealed bolts. The cast gate body is rubber coated. The sealing surface of the gate is horseshoe shaped on the top and sides. On the bottom a large diameter cylindrical surface is formed joint by radius to the sealing surface on the sides. The bottom part of the sealing surface wraps around the spindle cavity. The gate body is effectively open from the bottom so that to avoid blocking of the movement of the spindle.
    The economical design of this gate valve, as compared to the conventional gate valve design, results in substantial weight reduction. The size reduction facilitates the mounting of this valve between the flanges similarly to the blade type gate valve. For the mounting bolts, holes located on the upper and center part of the flanges are threaded blind holes, the rests are through holes.

  • Application: pipelines
  • Advantages:
    -No centre beading, consequently its machining, sealing and securing are saved.
    -The valve guide is made of the same material
    -The slide way eliminates fretting corrosion
    -Single-piece cast housing has increased rigidity
  • Stage of development: Operation is introduced by an prototype, model is can be seen.
  • Documentation available: Yes, partially available.
The inventor(s)
  • Name(s): Károly SIPOS
  • Self introduction:
    I had worked for a industrial valve manufacturer factory as a designer, responsible for the development of valves for pipelines.
    Since I have been retired I started to use AUTOCAD system, and I work on the developing of valves according to my conception.
