DI GATE VALVE
Gate valves (also known as knife valves or slide valves)
are linear motion valves in which a flat closure element
slides into the flow stream to provide shut-off.
Description:
Gate valves
and knife valves are advantageous in applications
involving slurries, as their “gates” can cut right through
the slurry.
Gate valves (also known as knife valves or slide valves)
are linear motion valves in which a flat closure element
slides into the flow stream to provide shut-off. They
are one of the most common valves used.
They are also used in applications that
involve viscous liquids such as heavy oils, light grease,
varnish, molasses, honey, cream and other non-
flammable viscous liquids. They are available in large
sizes to better handle thick flow.
