Gate Valves, Pressure : Low

Gate valves are primarily designed to start or stop flow. In service, these valves are generally either fully open or fully closed. They are available with different disks or wedges, including: solid wedges, flexible wedges and split wedges (self-adjusting and self-aligning to both seats’ sides). These valves are often used when a straight-line flow of fluid and minimum restriction is desired. Because of their ability to cut through liquids, gate valves are often used in the oil industry.
