 WHAT IS A TYPE “F” GATE VALVE

Type “F” gate valve is; Primary components are;

 A double seat  Body
 Non-rising stem  Bonnet
 Through conduit  Gate and seat assembly
 Lubricated gate valve  Stem and stem packing
 Used for Xmas tree  Thrust bearing assemblies
services
 PRINCIPAL FEATURES OF THE TYPE “F” GATE VALVE
These features includes; Side view showing Principal
Features of the Type “F” Gate Valve
1. Rotating seats: Special feature, prolongs
life expectancy than conventional valves.
2. Needle thrust bearings: Reduced
handwheel turning effort
3. Stem shear pin: Fails under excessive
torque
4. Grease injection port: Lubrication of body
cavity & internal parts
5. Stem back-seating: Change of stem packing
6. Gate and seat assembly: Reduce entry of
foreign materials into the gate cavity.
 VALVE DESIGN & OPERATION - TRIM
 The Cameron Type “F” gate
valve is designed with
special trim combinations
(internal components) of
Stainless stain, Chrome,
Viton/Teflon to withstand
corrosion, high & low
Temperature(-75 °F - 650°F)
and Pressure (20,000psi).
 The torque characteristics
resulting from the
working pressure acting
upon the surface area of
the gate, other portions of
the valve and service
conditions determine the
force necessary to operate
the valve.

 TRIM DESCRIPTION – TYPE “F” GATE VALVE
HIGH TEMPERATURE TRIMS LOW TEMPERATURE - ARCTIC
 Regular trims: ≤5000psi working TRIMS, FOR AS LOW AS -75°F
pressure valve, used for wellhead  Arctic trims
and production services where
 Arctic Full stainless trim
corrosion is of little or no concern
 Arctic with Super trims
 Stainless steel trims: 10,000 –
20,000psi working pressure valve,  Arctic Full stainless steel
used for wellhead and production with super trim
services where mild weight loss
corrosion is expected
 CONT’D
 Full stainless steel trims: used for wellhead and production
services where weight loss corrosion is a major concern
 Super trims: used for wellhead and production services where
stress corrosion is of prime concern
 Full stainless steel with super trim: used for wellhead and
production services where both stress and weight loss corrosions
are of major concern
 Modified trims, 500°F & 650°F; Teflon/Viton Stem packing, stem
threads & retainer plates are coated with permanent solid film
lubricant, longer bonnet & stem
