Valvesonly is the best Gate Valve Manufacturers Canada. A gate valve is a type of valve used to control the flow of fluid through a pipe by either fully opening or fully closing the passageway. Its structure consists of a gate or wedge-shaped disk that moves up and down perpendicular to the flow of the fluid. This gate is housed within a body which contains an inlet and an outlet. The body of the valve is typically made of cast iron, cast steel, or stainless steel, and it is designed to withstand high pressure and temperature conditions. The gate itself is usually made of materials such as stainless steel, brass, or bronze, depending on the application and the properties required for the specific fluid being controlled.
The working principle of a gate valve involves raising or lowering the gate to either allow or block the flow of fluid. When the valve is in the closed position, the gate seals against the valve seat, preventing the fluid from passing through. Conversely, when the valve is open, the gate is lifted completely out of the flow path, allowing fluid to flow freely through the valve. This operation is typically achieved by turning a handwheel or actuator attached to a threaded stem, which raises or lowers the gate. Gate valves are well-suited for applications where a tight seal is required and where the flow needs to be completely shut off or opened fully, rather than being regulated incrementally. However, they are not ideal for throttling applications due to their design, which can cause erosion of the gate and seat if used for partial opening/closing frequently.
