NPS 8″ Class 150 LUG Non-Rising Stem Unidirectional Knife Gate Valve – CF8
Description
The NPS 8″ Class 150 LUG Non-Rising Stem Unidirectional Knife Gate Valve is a heavy-duty industrial isolation valve engineered by XIAMEN GUTE VALVE MANUFACTURING COMPANY. Built from austenitic stainless steel for superior pitting resistance and immunity to chemical corrosion, this valve features a beveled shearing knife edge and a pocketless full-port bore. It is designed to cleanly slice through fibrous pulp, municipal sewage, and abrasive mineral slurries without clogging or solid accumulation.

Rigorous Quality Assurance
- 1. Material Spectro Analysis: 100% PMI verification on all pressure-retaining body castings and gate blades.
- 2. MSS SP-81 Shell Hydrostatic Test: Tested at 1.5x rated working pressure with zero allowable body wall leakage.
- 3. API 598 Seat Leakage Test: 1.1x hydrostatic seat testing ensuring zero bubble/drop leakage for soft seats or <= 40 ml/min/inch for metal seats.
- 4. Actuation Cycling Test: 100% factory stroking and limit switch verification under simulated shop air pressure.
Frequently Asked Technical Questions
A: The split-body design is fully lined with heavy-duty replaceable elastomer sleeves that completely isolate the metal body from high-velocity abrasive mineral slurries and tailings.
A: Conventional wedge gate valves feature a bottom cavity that traps grit. Gute Knife Gate Valves utilize a smooth, cavity-free internal bore that eliminates dead pockets and prevents solid sedimentation.
