Hopkinsons Valve

The Hopkinsons® Full Bore valves are used when an isolation gate valve is required for steam or feedwater duty in medium and high pressure ranges. The outstanding feature of the Full Bore parallel slide design is that of maintaining fluid-tightness without the aid of a wedging action. As the valve seats with the aid of pressure no mechanical stress is exerted on the discs and there are no problems associated with fluid cool-down.
