Gate valves are vital components in industrial piping systems, used for controlling fluid flow. This article compares two main types of gate valves, rising stem and non-rising stem, highlighting their structural differences, advantages, disadvantages, and appropriate applications. Rising stem gate valves, with visible stem movement, are ideal for low-pressure, small-flow systems that require frequent visual inspection and simple maintenance. In contrast, non-rising stem gate valves feature a compact design, making them more suitable for confined spaces and high-pressure, high-flow applications. They offer better resistance to environmental contamination and are well-suited for automated systems. The article concludes by providing guidance on choosing the appropriate valve based on factors like installation space, medium characteristics, and operational requirements.

A Double Block and Bleed (DBB) ball valve integrates two standard ball valves into a single unit, providing superior fluid control and safety in pipeline systems. This article explores the design, working principles, sealing performance, and advantages of DBB ball valves. It emphasizes their dual isolation and bleed functionality, making them ideal for preventing leaks and enhancing operational safety, especially in high-pressure applications. The valve’s simplified installation and maintenance processes further reduce system complexity and downtime. Additionally, advanced design features such as fire-safe, anti-static, and anti-operation designs ensure the valve's adaptability to complex operating conditions. The DBB ball valve's efficiency, safety, and reliability make it a critical component in industries like oil, gas, chemicals, and energy.
