Gate Valves
Gate valves are suitable for hot water, chemical fluids or compressed air and can be used for media with temperatures from (-200°C) to (700°C). DIN gate valves are flanged, welded or threaded. The DIN gate valve with soft seal gate valve is also resistant to corrosion and leakage. The soft gasket valve provides protection against erosion and corrosion. Thanks to the ductile iron material used in its production, it is lighter than standard valves. In traditional gate valves, debris such as stone, cement, wood in the notch of the valve base can prevent the valve from closing tightly and cause leakage. In gate valve systems, the soft sealed valve minimizes the risk of leakage as it provides protection against foreign objects as it is designed at the base level. In this respect, gate valves with DIN and ANSI standards are safe. DIN and ANSI gate valves, which are 20-30 percent lighter than conventional valves, provide ease of installation, use and maintenance. Since non-toxic resin coating is used in the inner body, rust and corrosion do not occur. Thanks to this feature, gate valves with DIN and ANSI standards can also be used in waste water systems. Thanks to its ductile iron valve body, it is more resistant to impacts than conventional valves and has a long service life.
Areas of Use
Gate valves can be used in industrial systems. It is suitable for use in fields such as liquid pipeline for petroleum, fertilizer, electricity and chemical contents.
Gate Valves are designed for use as isolation valves. These valves make it easy to regulate the flow of liquid through pipes. They are used in pipelines to start or stop the flow. Gate valves are used for numerous functions and are commonly used in homes and industrial plants.
Gate Valves are not used to control any feature of the fluid, they are only used to open and cut off the flow, so they must be used in the fully open or fully closed position, they can be used in almost any fluid if suitable materials are selected, they can be used in almost any fluid, they can be coupled with all kinds of actuators.
Advantages
- Gate valves have extremely low friction loss
They can be used in any shape within the circuit. They ensure smooth flow, pressure loss is minimal Gate valves make it easy to save a lot of energy and reduce the total price of ownership
Disadvantages
Gate valves cannot open and close quickly They cause vibration In systems with irregularly high temperature variations, leaks occur in gate valves due to the load on the pipe at the end of the valve. Operation, maintenance and repair of gate valve seating surfaces are complex.
Applications:
Gate valves are suitable for use in extreme temperature and pressure conditions. They are used for on-off applications. It has a very widespread use as it can be used in almost all sectors.
