GATE VALVE

摘要

The slanted closing rim of a valve plate includes a cylindrical portion at the rear side, having a diameter D1 which corresponds to the width of the plate and slightly exceeds the diameter D3 of the passage throat. A groove in the casing guides the narrow sides of the valve plate and accomodates a seal strip. The grooves partly closed at the front side by a guide strip which in the bottom zone of the passage throat is a semicircularly extending strip. The inside diameter D4 of this cylindrical strip approximately corresponds to that of the valve plate and its axis a extends at a level which is higher by half the difference between diameters D1 and D3 than that of the axis b of the throat passage. A slanted closing rim of the valve plate is provided with shear arcs on its frontal points on each of the side edges. The two shear arcs form a kind of a plowshare deflecting the medium from the seal.
