    Use of Gate Valve for Throttling

    The primary concern is potential damage to the valve body that could result in a loss of primary containment (LOPC). As a mitigation measure, we may consider implementing vibration monitoring and trending to ensure that any induced vibration remains within acceptable thresholds. Thank you for...

    Use of Gate Valve for Throttling

    Thank you for your response. These are my concerns. We are open to accepting the possibility of valve failure, so long as it does not compromise the integrity of the piping system, lead to an environmental release, or pose safety risks to personnel. I’d like to get your input on a few specific...

    Use of Gate Valve for Throttling

    Thanks a million, LittleInch, for your response. We are evaluating the use of the gate valve to generate backpressure for supporting system equipment rather than for precise flow control. At this stage, data on the valve’s performance under throttling conditions is limited to what I’ve already...
