Gate valves play a pivotal role in fluid control systems, offering reliable on/off functionality to regulate the flow of liquids and gases. Unlike other valve types designed for throttling, gate valves are primarily used for fully opening or closing a pipeline, making them essential in industries ra

I. Sealing Performance(I) Wedge Gate ValveThe sealing performance of the wedge gate valve mainly depends on the tight combination of the wedge-shaped gate and the valve seat. Its sealing surface forms a certain angle with the vertical centerline (usually 2°52', 3°30', 5°, 8°, 10°, etc.). This design
I. Advantages of Traditional Sealing Design(I) Rigid Gate and Flexible GateThe gate of a wedge gate valve can be designed as a rigid gate or a flexible gate. The rigid gate has strong integrity and is suitable for high-pressure working conditions. The flexible gate, through the elastic groove in the
