What is Gate Valve?
A gate valve is a type of mechanical valve used in various industries to control the flow of fluids, including liquids and gases, within a piping system. It derives its name from its primary component, which resembles a gate or wedge. The gate valve allows or blocks the flow of fluid by raising or lowering a gate or wedge-shaped disc inside the valve body. When the gate is raised, it permits unobstructed flow, while lowering the gate obstructs the flow, effectively sealing the valve. Gate valves are known for their simple yet effective design, making them suitable for applications where on/off flow control is required. Gate valves regulate fluid flow within piping systems, featuring a gate or wedge-shaped component as their primary mechanism.
Key Components:
 Gate valves comprise a valve body, gate or wedge, stem, bonnet, packing gland, yoke, actuator, and handwheel or lever.
