Double Disc Gate Valve Manufacturer in India

A double disc gate valve uses two separate discs to establish seating against the valve body, making the design suitable for demanding isolation duties where reliable sealing from either pipeline direction is required. Speciality Valve manufactures and offers double disc gate valves for hydrocarbon transmission, high-pressure process headers, gas transportation and critical pipeline isolation, with the gate and seating arrangement determined by service requirements.

Double Disc Gate Valve Configuration:

Parameter

Typical Configuration

Gate arrangement

Two-disc parallel gate

Seating

Parallel metal seats

Stem

Rising stem / OS&Y where applicable

Disc loading

Mechanical wedge or spring-assisted arrangement

Size

Product-specific

Pressure class

Selected designs from Class 150 to Class 2500

Operation

Handwheel, gear or actuator

Ends

Flanged or butt-weld, depending on design

Material Selection:

Body and pressure-containing materials are selected according to operating temperature, pressure, corrosion conditions and mechanical requirements.

Material Family

Typical Service Consideration

Carbon steel

General hydrocarbon and process isolation

Low-temperature carbon steel

Low-temperature service

Alloy steel

Elevated-temperature applications

Austenitic stainless steel

Corrosive compatible media

Duplex stainless steel

Chloride-containing environments

Special alloys

Selected aggressive process conditions

Double Disc Gate Valve Grades:

Grade

Material Classification

ASTM A216 WCB

Cast carbon steel

ASTM A216 WCC

Cast carbon steel

ASTM A352 LCB

Low-temperature carbon steel

ASTM A352 LCC

Low-temperature carbon steel

ASTM A217 WC6

Chromium-molybdenum alloy steel

ASTM A217 WC9

Chromium-molybdenum alloy steel

ASTM A351 CF8M

Austenitic stainless steel

ASTM A995 4A

Duplex stainless steel

ASTM A995 5A

Super duplex stainless steel

Final grade selection should follow the pressure-temperature envelope and fluid compatibility requirements.

Parallel Disc Seating and Isolation:

The two discs move toward their respective seats during closure. This arrangement can provide sealing on both sides of the valve when correctly designed and installed.

The cavity between the discs also requires consideration. Depending on the valve design and service, body-cavity pressure relief, bleed or pressure-management arrangements may be required as part of the isolation philosophy.

Applications for Double Disc Isolation:

  • Crude-oil transmission pipelines

  • Natural-gas transportation

  • Pipeline compressor stations

  • Hydrocarbon storage terminals

  • High-pressure process headers

  • Gas-processing installations

  • Transmission-line block valve stations

  • Bidirectional pipeline isolation

Testing and Project Records:

Inspection can include material verification, dimensional checks, shell testing, seat testing and operational verification. Project documentation may include material certificates, drawings, pressure-test records and inspection documentation according to the approved specification.

For a double disc gate valve requirement, the line size, pressure class, medium, temperature, flow direction and required isolation philosophy should be established before finalising the disc, seat and pressure-management arrangement.
