Summary: Gate valves are used in fluid pipelines to control the flow of fluid. They are advantageous for slurries and viscous liquids.
Gate valves are used in fluid pipelines to control the flow of fluid. They are advantageous for slurries and viscous liquids. Their slow operation prevents water hammer effects, making them suitable for various fluids.
Advantages:
*Gate valves can handle thick flow due to their size.
*Used as a shut-off valve: They are excellent for situations where a complete stoppage of flow is needed.
*Inherently fire-safe
*Easy to maintain and disassemble
*Inexpensive: Cost-effective for various applications.
