What's the difference between the knife gate valve and the stop valve?
Standard light valve professionals to answer for you, gate valve refers to the closure of parts (gate) along the central line of the vertical direction of moving valve. The gate valve is mainly used for cutting in the pipeline. The valve is a valve with a very wide, cutting device general caliber DN = 50mm use it, sometimes a small diameter cutting device also use valve, gate valve has the following advantages:Fluid resistance is small.
Generally large and nominal caliber DN50 mostly with gate valve, especially industrial high temperature, high pressure, highly toxic and so on.Stop valve is able to stop and adjust flow, small footprint, small size, generally less than the nominal diameter, DN50 occasions use it. Two can be closed, in the flow of linear requirements are not high, you can adjust the flow. Just because of its structural characteristics of the valve to make its flow resistance, so there is a demand for throttling with a little more than the gate valve. In addition, the cut-off valve, whether it is a formal or reverse installed, in the opening and closing process, there is always a very difficult, and therefore can not do a great deal, or it is not easy to open and close. In addition, the cut-off valve has a one-way sealing effect of good features, so in the prevention of reverse flow of the working fluid, it also has a place to play.Hope to be of some help to you!
Minor force needed for opening and closing.Medium flow is unrestricted.When opening fully, the sealing surface is eroded by the working medium smaller than the cut-off valve.The shape is relatively simple and the casting process is better.The valve is used in the system is relatively large, to close the gate off system; and the valve is used in the system is relatively small, and to adjust the flow quantity of the system, can not be closed gate and globe valves of different specifications for many kinds of occasions, the valve rod valve the dark bar gate valve, wedge gate valve, single valve, multi valve valve body structure is different, large volume.
