Gate Valve

AQE Gate valves are used to limit the flow of fluid flowing straight through the pipeline. This is an effective and reliable way to stop fluid flow. The Slab Gate Valve  can be fully opened or fully closed. The slow opening and closing of the valve helps avoid hydraulic hammers, which can damage the pipes connected to the valve. Gate valves are not used for throttling, so do not let them half open. The gate valve has 3 important parts. They are doors, stems and hoods.

The gate can be used in several variations in a gate valve. You may occasionally use knife doors, or if you use crude oil, you may see flat doors. However, in the marine industry, the most common gate is the wedge. This type of gate valve wholesale uses a wedge-shaped metal sheet that can be moved into the valve body to prevent fluid flow. This uses metal-to-metal contact to create a positive pressure seal. However, under extremely low pressure (5 psi or lower), the gate valve may leak a little.
