Gate Valve Structure & Functionality Explained
A gate valve consists of several critical components: body, seat, stem, gate plate, body cover, and sealing ring. The gate plate serves as the primary on-off mechanism, moving perpendicular to the fluid flow direction. Unlike globe valves, gate valves are designed for full-open or full-closed operation and cannot be used for flow regulation or throttling.
Key Functions in Pipeline Systems
Gate valves play a vital role in pipeline networks by providing two-position control (open/closed). This design ensures minimal pressure drop when fully open, making them ideal for applications requiring unrestricted flow. For automated systems, they can be equipped with actuation devices to create electric gate valves or pneumatic gate valves, enhancing operational efficiency.
