Forged steel gate valves from KSB are industrial valves designed for on/off service in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Gate valves control the flow of fluids by using a gate or wedge-shaped disc that moves perpendicular to the flow axis. Forged steel construction provides strength and durability, making these valves suitable for demanding conditions.

Here are some general features and characteristics associated with KSB forged steel gate valves:

1. Forged Steel Construction: The use of forged steel in the valve body ensures robustness, making the valve suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

2. Gate Valve Functionality: Gate valves are designed for on/off service and provide a tight shut-off by using a gate or wedge-shaped disk that moves perpendicular to the flow of the fluid.

3. Rising or Non-Rising Stem: Forged steel gate valves may have a rising or non-rising stem. In rising stem gate valves, the stem physically rises as the valve is opened.

4. Bolted Bonnet or Pressure Seal Bonnet: These valves may feature a bolted bonnet or a pressure seal bonnet design, depending on the pressure class and application requirements.

5. Flanged or Butt Weld Ends: The ends of the valve may be flanged or designed for butt welding, depending on the installation requirements and pipe connections.

6. Renewable Seat and Disc: Some gate valves have a design that allows for easy replacement of the seat and disc, enhancing the valve’s service life.

7. Size and Pressure Ratings: Forged steel gate valves come in various sizes and pressure ratings to accommodate different applications and system requirements.

8. Applications: Gate valves are used in various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power generation, and more.
