Stainless Steel Flanged Gate Valve

Features of Flanged Gate Valve

A flanged gate valve is a type of valve that is used to regulate or shut off the flow of a liquid or gas. It consists of a gate, which is sealed to the body of the valve with a gasket, and a flange that is bolted to the body of the valve. The gate is moved up or down by turning the valve handle, which is connected to a stem that is attached to the gate. When the handle is turned in one direction, the gate is lowered and the flow is shut off; when the handle is turned in the opposite direction, the gate is raised and the flow is opened. The flange provides a strong connection point for the valve, allowing for easy installation and maintenance. Flanged gate valves are commonly used in water supply, wastewater, and other piping systems.

Applications of Flanged Gate Valve

Flanged gate valves are widely used in a variety of industries. They are commonly used in oil and gas fields, chemical processing plants, power plants, water treatment plants, and marine applications. In oil and gas production, gate valves are used to control the flow of oil and gas between the wellhead and the production facilities. In chemical processing plants, they are used to regulate the flow of chemicals, prevent backflow and manage pressure. In power plants, gate valves are used to regulate the flow of steam to the turbines. In water treatment plants, they are used to control the flow of water from the intake source to the treatment facility. In marine applications, gate valves are used to regulate the flow of seawater, prevent backflow and manage pressure.
