Gate valve is an important valve that is often used in pipeline systems to control the delivery and discharge of liquid or gas. When selecting a gate valve, many factors need to be considered, such as the operating environment, pipeline conditions, flow requirements, and valve performance. WonderKai will take you to discuss when to choose a gate valve.
1. When the liquid or gas in the pipeline needs to be transported over a long distance, it is usually necessary to use a gate valve to control the flow. Gate valves can usually control the speed and flow of fluids, so they can effectively control the flow of fluids during long-distance transportation.
2. Gate valve is also a commonly used valve when there is high pressure or high temperature in the pipeline. Gate valves usually have high strength, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, so they can adapt to high pressure and high temperature environments.
3. When the pipeline needs to be normally open or normally closed, the gate valve is also a good choice. Gate valves are generally lighter and easier to operate than other valves, but because of the larger stroke of the valve plate, they are used in occasions that do not require frequent opening and closing.
