How to Choose the Right GOST Standard Cast Steel Flange Gate Valve

July 18, 2025

When choosing the right GOST standard cast steel flange gate valve, consider the following key factors:

  1. Application Environment:

    • Ensure the valve is suitable for the type of fluid (steam, thermal oil, water treatment, etc.) and the working conditions (pressure, temperature).

  2. Valve Body Material:

    • Select a material (WCB, CF8, Hastelloy, etc.) based on corrosion resistance and temperature resistance.

  3. Size and Pressure Rating:

    • Choose the valve size (DN50-DN300) and pressure rating (PN16, PN25) based on the pipeline specifications.

  4. Temperature Range:

    • Ensure the valve can handle the required temperature range.

  5. End Connection:

    • Ensure the valve’s flange matches the pipe connection.

  6. Operation Type:

    • Choose manual or automatic operation based on frequency of use.

  7. Maintenance and Durability:

    • Consider valves with long-lasting durability and minimal maintenance.
