A gate valve is a type of valve used to control the flow of fluid (liquid or gas) in a pipeline. It is designed to either allow or block the flow of the fluid, and it operates by raising or lowering a gate or wedge-shaped disk inside the valve body. Gate valves are widely used in various industries, including oil and gas, water distribution, and manufacturing, for a range of applications.
It’s important to note that while gate valves are excellent for isolation purposes, they are not suitable for throttling or controlling the flow rate precisely. For such applications, other types of valves like globe valves or butterfly valves may be more appropriate.
