2.2.3.1The main pressure-containing parts are forged with alloy steel meeting material requirements of API

Spec 6A, which has features of safe and reliable working.

2.2.3.2.The gate and seat are metal-to-metal seal, and the weld overlay of sealing surface is hard alloy

featuring abrasion and corrosion resistance.

2.2.3.3.The body and bonnet are bolts connection, and use new type metal-to-metal seal, which simplify the
configuration and guarantee the seal performance.

2.2.3.4.High performance wave spring is utilized between body and seat to make seat be with pre-
tension, which keep good seal performance between seat and gate even under low pressure.

2.2.3.5.The stem packing is made of special compound material, which lowers the torque ensuring seal
performance.

2.2.3.6.A back seal mechanism is designed on stem for replacing stem packing under rated
working pressure.
