A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a barrier (gate) out of the path of the fluid. Gate valves require very little space along the pipe axis and hardly restrict the flow of fluid when the gate is fully opened.

A Gate valve is a linear-motion manual valve that has a vertical rectangular or circular disc that slides across an opening to stop the flow that acts as "gate".

2024年8月18日 · A gate valve is designed to control fluid flow by either fully opening or closing the passage. It's called a gate valve because it uses a flat or wedge-shaped gate to block or allow flow. The gate moves perpendicular to the flow path, similar to how a gate opens and closes to control passage.

A gate valve is a linear motion valve that starts or stops the fluid flow using wedge shape disk. Learn about different types of gate valves used in piping.

What is a Gate Valve? A gate valve is a type of valve that uses a gate or disc to control the fluid flow (usually gases or liquids) through a pipe or other conduit. Gate valves operate by lowering or raising the wedge-shaped disc or gate, which either permits or blocks the fluid flow.

By raising the gate (open) and lowering it (closed), a gate valve controls the flow of the media. The unique characteristic of a gate valve is its unobstructed, straight-through path, which results in low-pressure loss across the valve. Gate valves should not be used to control flow; instead, they should be used fully open or closed.

A gate valve is the most common valve for water supply systems. It represents a linear-motion isolation valve and has a function to stop or allow the flow. Gate valves got their name from the closure element sliding into the flow stream to provide shutoff and, therefore, acting like a gate.

2024年10月25日 · A gate valve is a type of valve used to control the flow of fluids in a pipeline. Unlike other valve types, gate valves operate by raising or lowering a gate within the valve body. This design allows for minimal flow resistance when the valve is fully open, ensuring that the flow path is unobstructed.

2021年3月14日 · We call the gate valve the sluice valve. It is called a gate valve because the shape of the disc is in the shape of a Gate or wedge-shaped. Gate Wall always opens in the perpendicular direction of the flow of fluid.

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.
