FAQ
What is a PN16 gate valve?
A PN16 gate valve is a type of valve designed to control the flow of liquids or gases in a pipeline, rated for a maximum pressure of 16 bar.
What materials are used in the construction of PN16 gate valves?
PN16 gate valves are typically made from ductile iron or stainless steel, providing durability and corrosion resistance.
How do I determine the correct size of the gate valve for my application?
The size of the gate valve should match the diameter of the pipeline. It is essential to consider the flow rate and pressure requirements of your specific application.
Can a PN16 gate valve be used for throttling flow?
While a PN16 gate valve is primarily designed for on/off service, it can be used for throttling in specific applications. However, it is not recommended for continuous throttling as it can lead to excessive wear.
