M-303 Slab Gate Valves
The M&J Valve Model M-303 is an advanced fabricated body design slab gate valve manufactured and tested to API-6D. The fabricated body allows for a wide selection of material choices. The floating slab gate uses the natural force of line pressure to obtain a dynamically tight downstream seal in high-pressure differential applications. Low-pressure sealing is accomplished with coil springs that energize the seat pushing it against the gate.
Ease of maintenance and versatility make the M303A the leading gate valve in the industry. The two-piece stem/common yoke simplifies operator mounting and conversions. The two-piece stem design allows different materials to be used in wetted areas while standard material is used for stem threads. Combined with the bolted packing retainer, the two-piece stem allows quick operator and extension changes in the field with the valve under pressure. For valves with ribs, a new rib system has been developed to make painting and coating easier.
Sized specifically to a pressure loss requirement (typically 2 psi clean condition).
When the operation differential pressure reaches 7 PSI, the filtration element must be removed and cleaned.
Care must be taken when removing the element to ensure no contaminate can pass from the dirty side to the clean side. All collected contaminate will remain within the filtration element.
Unless specifically designed to do so, the filtration element should never operate with a differential pressure above 15 PSI
