Marine Network Applications
The JIS 16K F7369 is specified where design pressure exceeds 10K or 5K classes. Typical installations include:
- sea water or fresh water lines,
- engine room cooling circuits,
- pump manifolds,
- auxiliary ship systems,
- isolation lines with JIS 16K flanges.
Selection Criteria
Selection is based on operating pressure, JIS flange compatibility, piping material, and media. Gate valve design minimizes pressure drop when fully open. Prolonged operation at intermediate positions can cause seat wear, noise, and vibration.
Maintenance and Leakage Control
Inspection should cover seat condition, stem packing, bonnet gasket, flange alignment, and cast iron body corrosion. For seawater systems, check galvanic compatibility between cast iron, bronze components, and piping.
FAQ
When is JIS 16K selected over JIS 10K?
When line design pressure or test requirements call for 16K class.
Is it suitable for flow regulation?
No. This is an isolation valve.
Which design standard applies?
The product is designed per JIS F 7369-1996.
