Gate valves are widely used in industrial piping systems for on/off flow control, isolation, and system maintenance. Among cast steel gate valves, the two primary types are full bore (full port) valves and reduced bore (reduced port) valves. Understanding their structural differences is essential for engineers and designers to select the right valve for performance, efficiency, and longevity.
