Function of gate valve

Function of gate valve

Answer:

The valve (including the valve and valve) is a fluid pipeline control device, its basic function is to connect or cut off the pipeline medium circulation, changing the medium circulation, change the direction of the flow medium, medium pressure and flow regulation, to protect the normal operation of pipeline equipment.
Is the gate valve opening and closing parts, RAM direction of motion perpendicular to the direction of the fluid, valve can only be fully open and fully closed, can not be adjusted and the throttle.
Valve strengths: (1) fluid resistance is small, due to the valve inside the valve channel is straight, and the medium flow through the valve does not change its direction of movement, so the fluid resistance is small. (2) the opening and closing moment is small, opening and closing more effort, as the gate valve opening and closing, the direction of movement of the gate and the direction of the media movement vertical, compared with the cut-off valve, valve opening and closing more effort. (3) the direction of the movement of the media is not limited, no disturbance, no pressure reduction, the media can flow in any direction from both sides of the gate valve, and all can achieve the purpose of use, more suitable for the direction of the movement of the medium may change in the pipeline. (4) the length of the structure is relatively short, because the gate of the gate valve is vertical inside the valve body, and the stop valve clack is horizontally placed in the valve body, so the length of the valve is shorter than the cut-off valve. (5) the sealing function is good, when the full opening, the sealing surface is less eroded. (6) when fully open, the sealing surface is less eroded by the working medium than the cut-off valve. (7) the shape is relatively simple, the forging technology is good, and the scope of application is wide.
Gate valve is a closed (gate) along the central line of the vertical direction of the valve moving. Valve in the pipeline can only be fully open and fully closed off, can not be adjusted and the throttle. Gate valve is a valve used in a wide range, generally more than 50mm caliber DN block device is selected it, sometimes cut off very small aperture devices are used to gate valve, gate valve is used as cut-off media, when in full flow through the whole, when the media is running a minimal pressure loss. Gate valves are normally used in situations where they do not need to be frequently opened and closed, and the gate is fully open or fully closed. Not used as an adjustment or throttling. For high speed moving medium, the gate can cause the vibration of the gate under the condition of partial opening, and the vibration may damage the sealing surface of the gate and the valve seat, while throttling will cause the gate to suffer the erosion of medium.
