What are the application scenarios of gate valves?

Release time:

Jul 29,2025

Advantages: Low flow resistance, the medium channel inside the valve body is straight through, and the medium flows in a straight line; less effort is required during opening and closing, the direction of the gate plate movement is perpendicular to the direction of the medium flow; water hammer phenomenon is not easy to produce

Features
Advantages: Low flow resistance, the medium channel inside the valve body is straight through, and the medium flows in a straight line; less effort is required during opening and closing, the direction of the gate plate movement is perpendicular to the direction of the medium flow; water hammer phenomenon is not easy to produce, the closing time is long; the medium can flow in any direction on both sides, easy to install; the structural length is relatively small, the shape is simple, the manufacturing process is good, and the application range is wide; the structure is compact, the valve has good rigidity, the channel is smooth, the sealing surface uses stainless steel and hard alloy, and the service life is long.

Disadvantages: Erosion and abrasion are easy to occur between the sealing surfaces, and maintenance is difficult; the overall dimensions are relatively large, opening requires a certain amount of space, and the opening and closing time is long; the structure is relatively complex

Application Scenarios

Industrial pipelines: In the petroleum, chemical, power, and metallurgical industries, it is used to transport various fluid media such as steam, oil, water, and gas. It is suitable for occasions requiring low flow resistance and low pressure drop, such as pump outlets and main pipelines.

Water conservancy projects: In water conservancy projects, it is used to control the opening and closing of water flow, such as the water discharge gates of reservoirs and valves in irrigation pipelines.

Building water supply and drainage: In building water supply and drainage systems, it is used to control the flow of tap water, sewage, and rainwater, such as the inlets and outlets of buildings.
