A resilient seated gate valve is a type of valve that uses a flexible, resilient material, such as rubber or elastomer, to seal the valve disc against the valve seat. This design offers several advantages over traditional metal-to-metal seated valves:
- Tight Sealing: The resilient seat provides a tight seal, preventing leakage.
- Reduced Operating Torque: The smooth, low-friction design requires less force to operate, making it easier to open and close.
- Longer Lifespan: The resilient seat is less prone to wear and tear, increasing the valve’s lifespan.
- Corrosion Resistance: The resilient seat can be made from corrosion-resistant materials, improving the valve’s durability in harsh environments.
