Gate Valve
Gate valves are also known as slide valves or knife valves. A gate valve consists of a flat closure piece that slides into place. The inside diameter of the valve body is often very close or identical to attached pipes, so a fully open slide gate valve causes only a negligible pressure drop. Gate valves are very effective shut-off valves.
Since the gate inside an industrial gate valve takes a linear path through the center of the valve it can cut through thick fluids. This makes industrial gate valves ideal for situations that involve slurry or viscous fluids, like oils or grease. |
