What Are the Application Scenarios of Gate Valves?

The gate valve is a complex pipeline equipment, usually composed of gate, sealing surface, door plate, nut, telescopic device and other components. The advantages are simple structure, good sealing performance, durability, easy installation and maintenance. However, the disadvantages are large operating force, slow switching speed, and cannot be used for high temperature, high pressure, corrosive liquid and other media.

Application scenarios of gate valves

1. Industrial scope

In industrial pipeline systems, the core function of gate valves is to achieve medium cutoff and flow regulation, and its application range covers many key fields such as petrochemical, chemical, metallurgy, electric power and light industry. In the energy industry, gate valves are mainly used in steam, compressed gas and liquid medium delivery systems; while in industries such as chemical and metallurgy, gate valves are mainly used to control the flow of corrosive media such as acidic and alkaline or high viscosity media.

2. Civil applications

Gate valves play an important role in urban water supply systems, sewage treatment pipelines, natural gas transmission and HVAC systems. In these application scenarios, common media include water and air. For example, in the fire water system of a building, the gate valve undertakes the key task of closing the pipe and cutting off the water flow.

3. Agricultural application

In agricultural irrigation projects, gate valves play an important role in improving the water utilization efficiency of farmland, coping with drought challenges and promoting the process of agricultural mechanization. Gate valves are used to regulate, control and cut off the water flow in the irrigation system, thereby effectively improving the water utilization efficiency of cultivated land and ensuring that crops have suitable growth conditions and development space.
