DN100 PN16 Pneumatic Ceramic Discharge Double Gate Valve
I. Product Overview
II. Key Attribute Specifications
1. Basic Dimensions and Pressure Rating
- Nominal Diameter (DN): DN100, catering to medium – sized pipeline systems. This size balances flow capacity and installation space, suitable for typical industrial pipelines transporting abrasive media like ash slurries or mineral concentrates.
- Pressure Rating (PN): PN16 (1.6MPa), aligning with low – to – medium pressure industrial pipelines. It can safely handle media pressure in applications such as power plant ash discharge lines (usually 0.6 – 1.2MPa) and mining slurry pipelines, ensuring structural integrity under normal operating conditions.
2. Material Composition
- Valve Body: Crafted from high – quality cast steel (WCB as standard; optional stainless steel like 304/316 for enhanced corrosion resistance). Cast steel provides robust structural strength, withstanding pipeline pressure and external mechanical impacts. Stainless steel variants are ideal for corrosive environments, such as chemical plants dealing with acidic or alkaline media.
- Gate and Sealing Components: Utilizes advanced structural ceramics (alumina Al₂O₃ or zirconia ZrO₂ as the main material). Ceramics boast extreme hardness (≥HRC85), far exceeding metal materials in wear resistance. In abrasive media like fly ash (with particles of 50 – 200μm in size) or mineral slurries, ceramic gates and seats maintain surface integrity, resisting particle erosion and prolonging service life.
- Stem: Made of 2Cr13 alloy steel, featuring excellent corrosion resistance and torque resistance. The stem connects the pneumatic actuator and the gate, transmitting actuation force. Its alloy composition prevents rust and deformation under long – term operation, ensuring smooth gate movement.
- Packing: Flexible graphite packing is employed. It offers high – temperature resistance (up to 450℃ in short – term, stable at 350℃ for long – term), good sealing performance, and self – lubricating properties. This prevents media leakage along the stem, even under temperature fluctuations and pressure changes, maintaining a clean and safe working environment.
3. Actuation and Control
- Pneumatic Actuator: Adopts a double – acting (default; single – acting optional for fail – safe requirements) aluminum alloy cylinder. Aluminum alloy combines light weight and corrosion resistance, reducing the valve’s overall weight and easing pipeline load. The double – acting mode enables fast opening and closing (full stroke within 3 – 5 seconds), crucial for emergency shutdowns in ash handling systems to prevent pipeline blockages.
- Control Compatibility: Equipped with limit switches and solenoid valves, seamlessly integrating with DCS (Distributed Control System) and PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). This allows remote operation, real – time status monitoring (e.g., open/closed position feedback), and automated process control, fitting modern industrial automation needs. For example, in a power plant’s ash handling system, it can be programmed to open/close based on ash hopper levels, achieving unmanned operation.

IV. Manufacturing Process
1. Ceramic Component Production
- Forming: High – purity alumina or zirconia powder is mixed with binders and formed using isostatic pressing. This process ensures uniform density and precise dimensions of ceramic blanks, laying the foundation for subsequent processing.
- Sintering: The blanks are sintered at high temperatures (1600 – 1800℃ for alumina; higher for zirconia). Sintering densifies the ceramic structure, enhancing hardness and wear resistance. After sintering, ceramic parts have a density of ≥3.6g/cm³, ensuring excellent mechanical properties.
- Precision Machining: Sintered ceramic parts undergo CNC grinding and lapping, achieving a surface roughness of Ra ≤0.8μm and a flatness tolerance of ≤0.01mm. This precision ensures a perfect seal between the gate and seat, minimizing leakage risks.
2. Metal Part Fabrication
- Casting: The valve body and other metal components are cast using resin sand casting. This method reduces internal defects like pores and sand inclusions, ensuring structural integrity. After casting, parts undergo heat treatment (e.g., annealing) to eliminate internal stresses, preventing deformation during machining and operation.
- Machining: Key metal parts (e.g., stem, flange) are machined using CNC equipment, ensuring dimensional accuracy (e.g., flange dimensions conform to ANSI B16.5 standards). The stem’s surface is treated (e.g., nitriding) to enhance corrosion and wear resistance, improving service life.
3. Assembly and Testing
- Assembly: Ceramic components are bonded to metal gates using high – temperature – resistant adhesives and mechanical fastening. This dual – fixation method ensures ceramic parts do not detach under vibration or pressure changes. The pneumatic actuator is assembled with precision, ensuring smooth actuation force transmission.
- Testing:
- Pressure Test: Conducted at 1.5 times PN (2.4MPa) for the shell and 1.1 times PN (1.76MPa) for the sealing performance. The valve must withstand pressure for 30 minutes without leakage, verifying structural and sealing reliability.
- Performance Test: Includes 1000+ cycle actuation tests to ensure the pneumatic system and mechanical structure operate stably. Ceramic parts are inspected for wear and cracking, guaranteeing product quality before leaving the factory.

VI. Product Applications
1. Power Generation Industry
- Ash Handling Systems: Used in coal – fired power plants for fly ash, bottom ash, and slag slurry discharge. The ceramic valve resists ash particle erosion, ensuring smooth ash transport and storage. For example, in a 600MW power plant, it can be installed in the ash conveyor pipeline between the electrostatic precipitator and the ash storage, preventing blockages and ensuring efficient ash removal.
- Desulfurization and Denitrification Systems: Controls the flow of corrosive media like limestone slurry and desulfurization wastewater. The valve’s corrosion – resistant materials (stainless steel body + ceramic sealing) withstand the acidic environment, ensuring long – term operation of desulfurization equipment.
2. Mining and Metallurgy Industry
- Slurry Transport: Manages mineral slurry (e.g., copper, iron ore slurry) transport in concentrators and tailings disposal systems. The valve’s wear – resistant ceramic parts and anti – blockage design ensure stable slurry flow, preventing pipeline shutdowns due to valve failures.
- Ore Dressing Processes: Controls the addition of chemicals (e.g., flotation reagents) and the discharge of concentrate slurry. Precise flow control and corrosion resistance meet the strict requirements of mineral processing, improving product quality and recovery rates.
3. Chemical and Petrochemical Industry
- Corrosive Fluid Discharge: Handles the discharge of acidic/alkaline wastewater, chemical slurries, and hazardous media. The valve’s stainless steel body and ceramic sealing ensure corrosion resistance and zero leakage, complying with environmental protection regulations. For example, in a petrochemical plant’s wastewater treatment unit, it can safely discharge acidic wastewater without leakage, protecting the surrounding environment.
- Powder and Granule Handling: Controls the flow of chemical powders (e.g., catalyst, pigment powder). The streamlined flow path and ceramic sealing prevent powder accumulation and leakage, ensuring accurate material metering and transport.
4. Environmental Protection and Wastewater Treatment
- Sludge Treatment: Manages sludge transport and discharge in sewage treatment plants. The valve’s wear – resistant and anti – clogging features handle high – viscosity, particle – laden sludge, ensuring smooth operation of sludge dewatering and disposal systems.
- Waste Incineration: Controls the flow of incinerator ash and flue gas treatment media (e.g., activated carbon slurry). The valve withstands high – temperature and abrasive media, ensuring stable operation of waste – to – energy plants.
