Key Features

Key features and benefits of Dikkan Bronze Rising Stem F4 Type Gate Valves.
1

Key Features

The valves feature raised face flanges according to DIN PN 10/16 standards, providing a secure and leak-resistant connection. The bolted bonnet design enhances the overall structural integrity, ensuring a tight seal and preventing leakage.
2

Key Features

A distinctive feature of these gate valves is the rising stem and non-rising handwheel configuration. The rising stem provides a visual indication of the valve's position, making it easy for operators to monitor and control the flow. The non-rising handwheel ensures convenient manual operation without the need for extensive space, making these valves suitable for installations with space constraints.
3

Key Features

Thanks to the low operation torque, attributed to the bearing support, these gate valves offer ease of use while maintaining excellent control over the flow of hot and cold water. The robust construction and specialised design make them particularly well-suited for the demanding conditions of shipbuilding applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

A gate valve is a type of valve used to control the flow of a fluid by lifting a gate out of the path of the fluid. They are often used in pipelines to control the flow of liquids like oil, gas, or water.

The main types of gate valves include solid wedge, flexible wedge, and split wedge designs. Each type is suited for different applications and fluid types.

Gate valves are best used in applications where a straight flow of fluid and minimum restriction is desired. They are ideal for on/off control rather than flow regulation.

Common materials for gate valves include bronze, iron, and stainless steel each offering different advantages in terms of strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.

Sizing a gate valve involves considering factors like the type of fluid, flow rate, pressure, and the size of the pipeline. It's crucial to consult with one of our experts or refer to manufacturer guidelines.

While possible, using gate valves for throttling is not recommended as it can cause damage to the valve and lead to increased wear.

Regular maintenance of a gate valve includes periodic inspection, cleaning, and lubrication. Replace worn parts as needed and ensure proper operation to extend its lifespan.

Signs of a failing gate valve include leaks, difficulty in operating the valve, unusual noises during operation, and a visible deterioration of valve components.

Yes, gate valves can be designed for high-pressure applications, but it's essential to select a valve that meets the specific pressure requirements of your system.

The main difference lies in their design and operation. Gate valves use a lifting mechanism to control flow, while ball valves use a rotating ball with a hole through it for flow control.

Yes, gate valves can be fitted with actuators for remote or automated control, which is especially useful in large-scale industrial applications.

Gate valves offer minimal pressure drop, tight sealing, and are suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure applications, making them a preferred choice in many industrial settings.
