Jordan Valve is a leading manufacturer of high quality products for the U.S. and international markets. Founded in the late 1940's with just one product - a small mixing valve - Jordan Valve has evolved into a complete line of pressure and temperature regulators, pneumatic and electric control valves and sanitary valves.
The cornerstone of the Jordan Valve product line is the sliding gate seat. Jordan is the originator of the sliding gate design which was first developed in 1947 by William Jordan. The sliding gate is a unique and superior seat design that provides many advantages over traditionally designed pressure and temperature regulators and control valves.
Straight-Through Flow
The disc is moved across the surface of the plate by the disc pin. When throttled open, the slots of the disc and plate align to allow the required flow through the seats. Since the flow path is straight through the slots, turbulence, noise, and wear are reduced. Another feature of this unique design is that the disc is supported from behind by the plate. This enables the seats to operate efficiently in the near closed position without being disturbed by the high, un-balanced forces a single seated globe valve would experience. This unique ability provides much higher rangeability than can be achieved with a globe style valve while maintaining tight shut-off. In conventional rising stem globe style valves.
