Design Rationale
Many gate/globe valve manufacturers still use conventional lathes rather than full CNC machining, resulting in wider machining tolerances.
Our solution employs a “butterfly” (convex-concave) graphite ring design that:
1. Generates higher deformation force to fill larger machining gaps.
2. Requires lower gland bolt preload, ensuring reliable high-pressure sealing.
Upper-and-lower braided end rings (density 2.5–2.6 g/cm³) transmit bolt load quickly to the centre pure-graphite rings, causing immediate deformation and sealing.
Once the centre rings reach ≥1.6 g/cm³ density, the end rings then deform to complete the seal—providing a stable, self-reinforcing sealing sequence.
Key Advantages
Compensating for larger machining tolerances common in gate/globe valve production.
Low gland bolt torque requirement reduces stem binding risk.
High-density braided end rings deliver rapid load transfer and excellent anti-extrusion performance.
Full compliance with international low-emission standards.
