API Gate Valve

API Gate Valve

Widely used shut-off valve designed to start or stop the flow of fluids in a pipeline. It operates by lifting a solid wedge-shaped, parallel, or knife-type gate out of the flow path, providing a full bore when fully open and minimal pressure drop. This linear-motion valve is not suitable for throttling but excels in isolation applications. Gate valves are available in rising stem and non-rising stem designs and are commonly used in both above-ground and underground installations across various industries.

    Benefits

    • Full Bore Flow: When fully open, the valve offers unobstructed flow, reducing pressure loss and energy consumption.


    • Tight Shut-Off: Excellent sealing capabilities prevent leakage, ensuring system integrity.


    • Bi-directional Operation: Capable of blocking flow in either direction.


    • Durable & Long-Lasting: Robust body and trim materials withstand high pressures and harsh conditions.


    • Wide Material Options: Available in multiple grades to suit water, steam, oil, and corrosive fluids.


    • Low Maintenance: Simple structure makes it easy to install and service.
