1.0 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT

1.1 Double-Disc Gate Valves

The double-disc design is unique in that there are two independent discs. During each closing stroke, immediately prior to the disc seating, each disc rotates a few degrees in the plane of the seats. This rotating feature allows the disc to seat in a different position on each closing stroke, providing for equal wear and preventing small imperfections from being agitated into major leakage problems.

The wedge assembly is designed to impart sufficient thrust to each disc to maintain acceptable low-pressure seat leakage. As the differential pressure across the disc increases, the seating load also increases, thus maintaining acceptable leakage through the entire range of operating differential pressures. Since the discs are completely independent of each other and the design is essentially symmetrical, zero leakage can be maintained in either direction, depending only on the direction of flow. This feature eliminates the necessity of installing a check valve to stop reverse flow.

To operate these manual valves, turn the tee handle in a clockwise direction for closure and counterclockwise for opening.
