Gate Valves
A gate valve is a type of valve that controls the flow of a fluid by lifting or lowering a barrier (gate) within the pipe. It's essentially an on/off valve, designed to either fully open or fully closed.
Description
How it Works
- Open Position: The gate is lifted clear of the flow path, allowing fluid to pass through with minimal resistance.
- Closed Position: The gate is lowered, blocking the flow of fluid completely.
Key Features
- Simple Design: Relatively straightforward mechanism for opening and closing.
- Full Bore: When fully open, the gate offers a clear passageway, minimizing pressure drop.
- Slow Operation: Typically requires multiple turns to fully open or close.
