Bolted Bonnet Gate Valve

 

A bolted bonnet gate valve is a heavy-duty isolation valve designed to shut off or restore fluid flow in high-pressure, high-temperature industrial pipelines. The valve body and bonnet are securely connected with high-strength studs and nuts, using an engineered gasket to ensure a robust body-to-bonnet seal.

Key Features & Benefits

Bolted Bonnet Joint:

High-strength bolting combined with a resilient body gasket ensures reliable sealing under thermal cycling and pressure fluctuations, while allowing straightforward field disassembly.


Wedge Gate Design:

Precision-machined solid or flexible wedge provides tight shut-off against seat rings. Hardfacing options (e.g., Stellite #6) offer high resistance to erosion and wear.

Rising Stem & OS&Y Construction:

The stem threads remain outside the fluid passage, protecting them from process media and line temperatures while providing visual indication of the valve position.

Full-Bore Flow Path:

Fully open operation moves the wedge clear of the flow path, minimizing pressure drop and preventing line sediment buildup.

Versatile Metallurgy & Trims:

Available in carbon steel, low-temperature carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel, paired with standardized API 600 trim options.

FAQ

 

Q: What is the main difference between a Bolted Bonnet and a Pressure Seal Bonnet?

A: A Bolted Bonnet uses external studs and a static gasket to maintain joint tightness, making it preferred for low-to-medium pressure classes and applications requiring regular maintenance access.

Q: Can a Bolted Bonnet Gate Valve be used for flow regulation or throttling?

A: No. Gate valves should operate fully open or fully closed. Prolonged partial opening causes high-velocity fluid turbulence across the gate, leading to severe vibration, chatter, and seating surface erosion.

Q: How do I select the proper API 600 Trim for my application?

A: Trim selection depends on the process medium, operating temperature, pressure, and corrosive nature of the fluid. Common options include Trim 8 (Universal 13Cr with hardfaced seat) for general hydrocarbon service, and Trim 5 (Full Stellite) for high-temperature or severe erosive services.

Q: Can these valves be supplied to meet NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 for sour service?

A: Yes. For sour oil and gas service containing hydrogen sulfide (H2S), body, bonnet, trim, and bolting materials can be supplied in full compliance with NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 hardness and metallurgy requirements.

Q: Are the face-to-face dimensions interchangeable with existing valves?

A: Yes. Valves manufactured according to ASME B16.10 comply with standard face-to-face dimensions, ensuring direct interchangeability with other ASME-compliant valves of the same size and pressure class.
