    Detail of Spring Barrier Seals
    On the downstream side, the spring
    barrier seals are deflected flush with the
    seat ring face to allow a complete
    metal-to-metal seal between the gate,
    the seat ring and the valve body.
    On the upstream side, spring force
    is sufficient to seal off particle flow
    between the gate and the seal ring but
    does not prevent liquid or gas flow.
    This allows pressure to bleed slowly Spring Barrier Seals
    past the upstream seat ring to equalize
    body cavity pressure. The inner spring
    barrier seal prevents the flow of parti-
    cles into the body cavity, and the outer
    spring barrier seal prevents particles in
    SD-8766
    the body cavity from getting behind the
    seat rings.
