Abstract

A pressure valve is the device that is used to channel high pressure fluid and to control the flow of the fluid through a pipe. The size of the valve varies according to the internal pressure. The use of pressure valve considered in the paper is during the extraction of petroleum. During the extraction of fluid from earths crust, the flow is under high pressure and needs to be channeled. This channeling is done through a Christmas tree structure made up of number of pressure valves. Thus the requirement of the gate valves in petroleum industry is high thus the reduction of the thickness of the valve to an optimum thickness will reduce the weight and cost of the valve. This paper deals with the optimum thickness design required for the Gate valve for functioning smoothly under high pressure. The Gate valve considered in the paper for design is M-Type gate valve.
