COVNA WCB Flange Type Wedge Gate Valve

COVNA Flange Wedge gate valve opens by lifting a gate with wedge shape, out of the path of afluid. The sealing surface in between the gate and seats are planar, and once lifted, there are not obstructions in the flow path, so they are used when a minimum friction is required.Widely used in almost all fluid services such as air, fuel gas, feedwater, steam, lube oil, hydrocarbon, and all most any services.

  • Model: Gate Valve
  • Size Range: 2″ to 16″
  • Pressure Range: 1.0 to 6.4MPa
  • Material: WCB, Stainless Steel

– DESCRIPTION –
A flange wedge gate valve can be defined as a type of valve that used a gate or wedge type disk and the disk moves perpendicular to flow to start or stop the fluid flow in piping.
A gate valve is the most common type of valve that used in any process plant. It is a linear motion valve used to start or stop fluid flow. In service, these valves are either in fully open or fully closed position. When the gate valve is fully open, the disk of a gate valve is completely removed from the flow. Therefore virtually no resistance to flow. Due to this very little pressure drops when fluid passes through a gate valve.
To achieve proper sealing, when the valve is fully closed, 360° surface contact is required between disk and seats.

The actuator on my automated valve operates, but the valve won’t turn. Why?

Most likely the valve stem or actuator coupling is broken.

The electric actuator limit switches or the pneumatic actuator position stops are not correctly adjusted.

Probably because there is no air pressure to the solenoid or dirt has jammed it. Also, debris might be trapped inside the valve. Or, the air pressure is not sufficient to operate the actuator. Remember: measure air pressure at the actuator, not at the compressor.

Maybe. First, be sure that the actuator torque output is sufficient to turn the valve reliably. Second, you will have to fabricate a custom mounting bracket and coupling to connect the actuator to the valve.

The valve will stop somewhere between full open and close. When power is reapplied to the original circuit, the actuator will complete the cycle.

To make the change just remove the actuator from the valve and turn it, or the valve stem, 90 degrees and remount the actuator.

Remove the actuator from the valve and check the valve stem. Most ball valves have stem flats at right angles to the flow when the valve is in the off position. On butterfly valves check the stem flow arrow marking.

Check the electric wiring schematic that came with the actuator for the correct hookup. Sometimes a copy is inside the actuator cover. If it is missing, don’t guess about the connections. Call the manufacturer for a schematic.

The actuator is wired incorrectly (check the schematic accompanying the actuator), or the external control switch is not the correct type for the actuator.

Not unless you bought it with an optional speed control.

Actuators and solenoid valves require different types of electrical control switches. SPDT for actuators, SPST for solenoids. Check the actuator wiring schematic for the correct wiring and switch type.
