Qualitative Study to Check Feasibility of Knife Gate Valves for High Working and Testing Pressures

In the current industrial scenario, emphasis is being laid on cost cutting and induction of versatility in the offerings of a particular company. Satisfaction of the customer is indeed of paramount importance but while doing so, it is necessary to provide technically feasible solutions so that the right product is chosen for the right application. This paper shall study and check the feasibility of offering Knife Gate Valves for high working and testing pressures. Being a member of the family of Block valves used for enabling and disabling the flow, Knife Gate Valves serve the best in demanding applications that include handling of thick and abrasive media which needs to be cut through during operation. However, there are certain applications which include working pressures in the range of 10 bar. In such case, it is necessary to check the feasibility of employing a Knife Gate Valve based on the design and overall valve structure. In order to do the same, this paper shall consider various aspects like applications, purpose of use, suitability of flow media, working parameters and design for various profiles. A conclusion shall be drawn dictating the technical feasibility of employing Knife Gate Valves for high working and testing pressure requirements.
