Compared with the casting process, forging can eliminate the internal pores of the metal, increase the material density by 20%-30%, and the compressive strength can reach 1.5 times that of ordinary steel. The valve adopts a conical valve disc design inside. When closed, the valve disc and the valve seat form a &#8220;hard-to-hard&#8221; seal (metal surface direct contact seal). With the self-sealing structure, the greater the pressure, the tighter the seal.<br \/>\nThe &#8220;strength&#8221; of forged steel stop valves and ordinary cast steel stop valves is different, mainly reflected in the following:<br \/>\nIn terms of pressure resistance:<br \/>\nForged steel stop valves can reach more than 25MPa; ordinary cast steel stop valves are usually \u226410MPa.<br \/>\nIn terms of temperature resistance range:<br \/>\nForged steel stop valves -196\u2103~+550\u2103; ordinary cast steel stop valves -29\u2103~+425\u2103.<br \/>\nIn terms of sealing life:<br \/>\nForged steel stop valves are opened and closed 5000 times without leakage; ordinary cast steel stop valves need to be replaced after about 2000 times.<br \/>\nMaintenance cost:<br \/>\nForged steel stop valves need to have their seals replaced every 5 years; ordinary cast steel stop valves need to be overhauled every 2 years.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8554\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/255705c2b8114690b42fbb3e98db1f54.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/255705c2b8114690b42fbb3e98db1f54-66x66.jpg 66w, http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/255705c2b8114690b42fbb3e98db1f54-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/255705c2b8114690b42fbb3e98db1f54-200x200.jpg 200w, http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/255705c2b8114690b42fbb3e98db1f54-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/255705c2b8114690b42fbb3e98db1f54.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The valve  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8554,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[816],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8553"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8553"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8553\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8555,"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8553\/revisions\/8555"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zhengyuan-valve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
