MSS-SP81 for Knife Gate Valves*:
Tyco Valves & Controls applies the
parameters as dictated by MSS-SP81 in
the design and manufacture of many of
it's standard knife gate and slide gate
valve products. The most important
applicable parameters are the design and
test pressures for the body, gate and seat
along with the face to face dimension.
However, many Tyco knife gate and slide
gate products fall outside MSS-SP81
in scope so in these cases we apply
MSS-SP81 where it makes sense for
the product and potential application. The
chart on page 2 displays the matrix of
products and how they apply to
MSS-SP81.
Special Applications:
For specific applications and special
valve products, other parameters will be
considered. (Temperature and pressure
relationship is specifically taken into
account in design of product.)

Knife Gate and Slide Gate Valve Testing Criteria
Metal-to-Metal seated valves, like the Perimeter resilient seated valves, like Polymer lined valves, like the M145 and
S20 and 220, are unidirectional and are the S17D and SB1700 are bidirectional. TRL150, have bidirectional, pressure
tested with pressure pushing the gate With a perimeter seat, pressure against assisted seals. Because of this, they are
against the seat. the gate is not required to create a seal tested in both directions with pressure
so testing in one direction only. pushing the gate against the seat.
