AMERICAN Flow Control Article on Bypasses for Large Diameter Resilient Wedge Gate Valves Appears in Valve Magazine

An article by AMERICAN Flow Control Marketing and Technical Manager Derek Scott and Product Engineer John Helf appears in the Summer 2022 issue of Valve Magazine. The article explores the history of gate valves for water supply service and how more recent advances in technology have changed the way utilities may want to approach items like bypasses. In the article, Scott and Helf present new research on the use of bypasses on large diameter resilient wedge gate valves and take a deep dive in validating the lack of a need for these bypasses to aid in the operation of today’s larger diameter valves.
