Forged Long Body Gate Valves

Forged Long Body Gate Valves for Industrial Piping Systems

Forged long body gate valves are built to provide reliable isolation in high-pressure and high-temperature service conditions. Designed with a forged steel body and an extended construction, these valves offer added durability and structural strength, making them suitable for demanding industrial applications across power, oil and gas and chemical sectors in the USA.

Construction and Features

A forged steel gate valve is manufactured by compressing steel under high pressure to form a dense, uniform grain structure that enhances its toughness and leak resistance. The long body design offers additional strength and allows for easier maintenance access in compact piping layouts. These valves are available in bolted bonnet, welded bonnet or pressure seal designs depending on service requirements.

Common materials include carbon steel, stainless steel and alloy steel, making the valve suitable for steam, water, oil and other process fluids. The extended body gate valve configuration provides added thermal stability and is frequently used in systems that require higher wall thickness or insulation clearance.

Applications of Forged Long Body Gate Valves

Forged long body gate valves are used in a variety of heavy-duty applications where reliable flow isolation is critical:

• Power generation plants – For high-pressure steam and feedwater lines.

• Oil and gas facilities – In upstream and downstream processing systems.

• Refineries and petrochemical units – For handling high-temperature and corrosive fluids.

• Industrial process systems – Used in piping that demands compact yet durable flow control equipment.

Their robust design, combined with the benefits of forging, allows these valves to maintain performance under frequent thermal and pressure fluctuations.
