The I-FLOW JIS F7369 Cast Iron 16K Gate Valve is a high-performance, durable valve ideal for high-pressure applications across industries like marine, oil and gas, and industrial processing. Rated for pressures up to 16 kg/cm², this gate valve meets Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) and provides stable, leak-proof flow control, making it an excellent choice for systems operating in harsh environments.

What is the 16K Gate Valve

The 16K Gate Valve is designed specifically for high-pressure applications, with "16K" indicating a pressure rating of 16 kg/cm² (around 225 psi). Its robust construction and reliable shutoff make it well-suited for managing high-pressure media with minimal pressure drop, ensuring efficient operation in rigorous environments.

How Does the 16K Gate Valve Work

The 16K gate valve uses a flat or wedge-shaped gate that moves perpendicularly to the flow direction. In the open position, the gate fully retracts from the flow path, enabling unobstructed media passage and minimizing pressure loss. When closed, the gate seals tightly against the valve seat to prevent leaks and provide a reliable shutoff.

Key Features of the I-FLOW 16K Gate Valve

• High-Pressure Rating: Designed to handle pressures up to 16 kg/cm², offering reliable performance in demanding applications.
• Durable Construction: Made from high-grade materials like carbon steel, stainless steel, or ductile iron, the valve resists wear, corrosion, and deformation.
• Non-Rising Stem Option: Available with a non-rising stem for compact or underground installations where vertical space is restricted.
• Corrosion-Resistant Coating: Protective epoxy or other coatings enhance durability, making it suitable for use with seawater, wastewater, or chemically aggressive substances.

Advantages of the I-FLOW 16K Gate Valve

• Reliable Shutoff: Provides a tight shutoff that prevents backflow, maintaining system integrity.
• Minimal Pressure Loss: When fully open, the gate valve’s design allows free media flow with minimal pressure drop.
• Versatile Application: Compatible with a wide range of media, including water, oil, gas, and chemicals, making it adaptable to diverse industrial requirements.
• Low Maintenance: Built to reduce wear and minimize maintenance needs, contributing to long-lasting, efficient operation.
