What kind of valve is suitable for cement slurry?
Thread Content
In the factory, cement slurry is handled; there is a funnel on top and a valve at the bottom for discharging the material. What kind of valve should be used? Is a butterfly valve suitable? ? ?
The wear on cement slurry is quite severe; it is recommended to use gate valves (sliding plate valves) with full bore, as these provide better flow characteristics. QQ:120519927
Butterfly valves definitely won’t work; after being used for a while, the seal will leak and the valve stem is prone to breaking
Star valves, dome valves, and discharge valves can all be considered.
It is recommended to use a knife gate valve in combination with a ball valve. We have worked with multiple cement plants in the past, and are able to ensure a long service life.
It is more appropriate to use a discharge valve or a gate valve!
Considering cost issues, which one would be more appropriate to choose?
