Description: 
Gate Valve is a valve that opens by lifting a round or rectangular gate/wedge out of the path of the fluid. The distinct feature of the gate valve is that the sealing surfaces between the gate and seats are planar. The gate faces can form a wedge shape or they can be parallel. Gate valves are sometimes used for regulating flow, but many are not suitable for that purpose, having been designed to be fully opened or closed. It is also called as sluice valve. The specifications include: available in range from ½ " to 24", pressure class of ANSI 150# to 2500#; end connections that are flanged, screwed, butt & socket welded and victolic end. Gate valves normally have flanged ends which are drilled according to pipeline compatible flange dimensional standards. Gate valves are typically constructed from cast iron, ductile iron, cast carbon steel, gun metal, stainless steel, alloy steels, and forged steels.
