Gate valve is a type of valve used primarily for on/off control in water, oil, gas and steam pipelines. It is designed with a flat gate that moves up and down within the valve body to either block the flow of liquid or allow it to pass through. Gate valves are widely used in industrial applications where high pressure and/or high temperature conditions are present, such as refineries, power plants, and chemical processing facilities. They are valued for their reliability, durability, and ability to provide full flow capacity with low pressure drops. However, gate valves are not recommended for throttling or regulating flow due to their tendency to create turbulence and erosion in the pipeline. When properly installed and maintained, gate valves can provide efficient and long-lasting service in a variety of industries.
