The Gate valve is a linear actuating valve used as flow isolater in a fluid pipeline. As the name says the gate valve, a flat circular or rectangular plate acts as a ‘gate’ in a pipeline. We call this plate as disc ,gate or wedge.
When the valve actuates down the gate slice the fluid to total shut off .
The disc can moved up fully into the upper portion of the body and results no hindrance to the fluid flow cross section area. This makes the valve full open with very less pressure drop.
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.
Gate valves use linear type of stem motion for opening and closing of a valve. These valves use parallel or wedge shaped discs as closure members that provide tight sealing.
