Gates Valve

Compare

A gate valve is a type of valve used to control the flow of fluid in a pipeline by raising or lowering a gate (or wedge) inside the valve. When the gate is lifted, the fluid flows freely, and when it’s lowered, the flow is stopped. Gate valves are known for their excellent shutoff capabilities and are commonly used in water supply systems, wastewater treatment, oil and gas pipelines, and various industrial applications.

Description

Features

  • High tightness (leakproofness class A according to EN – 12266 – 1)
  • Compact settlement
  • Environment friendly
  • Tests according to API 598 or EN 12266-1
  • Installation length according to DIN 3202 for classes according to ANSI B16.10

Applications

  • Water Supply Systems: Gate valves are often used in municipal water supply systems to control the flow of water and to isolate sections of the pipeline for maintenance or repair.
  • Wastewater Treatment: In sewage systems and wastewater treatment plants, gate valves are used to manage the flow of effluent and other fluids.
  • Oil and Gas Industry: They are employed in pipelines that transport oil, natural gas, and other hydrocarbons. Gate valves help in controlling the flow of these fluids and in isolating sections of the pipeline.
  • Chemical Processing: In chemical plants, gate valves are used to handle corrosive and toxic fluids. They provide reliable shut-off in chemical processing applications.
  • Power Plants: Gate valves are used in power generation facilities, including nuclear, thermal, and hydroelectric power plants, to control the flow of steam, water, and other fluids.
  • Industrial Applications: They are used in various industrial processes where the control of fluid flow is essential, such as in manufacturing, food and beverage production, and pharmaceuticals.
  • Marine and Shipbuilding: Gate valves are used in shipbuilding and marine applications to control the flow of water, fuel, and other fluids on vessels.
