Series DM Gate Valves: Features and Benefits
Series DM gate valves, the premier gate valve in the oil and gas drilling
market, are specifically engineered for the rigorous requirements of oilfield
applications. Designed for dependable, heavy-duty performance in abrasive
service conditions, Series DM gate valves are commonly selected for a
number of oilfield applications, including
■■ drilling standpipe manifold
■■ pump manifold block valves
■■ high-pressure mud mixing lines
■■ high-pressure drilling system block valves.
The Series DM gate valves are available in ASME Classes 600, 900, and
1500. They also are available in 5,000-psi gauge pressure and 7,500-psi
gauge pressure (not API monogrammed).
Automation
5-in [130-mm] 7,500-psi WP Series DM gate valve.
Automation is available for 5,000- and 7,500-psi pressure-rated valves.
Series DM 7500
The seat consists of two identical metal wear rings encapsulated in
elastomer to form a cylindrical shape with a gate slot and two round ports.
The closed gate bears on the downstream wear ring, and the elastomer
provides a drop-tight pressure-responsive seal around the port.
