Gate valves are one of the types of valves that play a major role in any process systems. They are very much in demand and perform the function of complete fluid flow shut-off when in closed position and vice versa. It acts as an isolation valve and is very much needed in a wide range of system applications.

At Dutco Tennant LLC, high-quality Gate Valves are supplied and they are also being exhibited at the ADIPEC 2022 Exhibition. The showcased gate valves are designed suitably to meet the application requirements of Oil & Gas facilities. If you are interested to learn more about them then make sure to attend the exhibit which will start from 31st October 2022.

But before you pay a visit, here are some of the ultimate perks that you should know that are offered by gate valves. Continue to read this blog till the end to find out all.

Less Fluid Resistance

Gate valves offer the advantage of less fluid resistance resulting in reduced obstruction in medium flow. The gate valve body has a straight through shape. Therefore, this construction allows no hindrance in the flow direction. The fluid flows in a straight line through the valve. As a result, when the valve is in a fully open position, it delivers the minimum resistance flow performance.

Ideal for Bidirectional Flow

The performance of gate valves are the same for bidirectional flow. The gate valve does not hinder the flow of the medium and they are suitable for bidirectional flow applications. Thus, applications where flow direction may alter, the use of gate valves are fitting. Additionally, these valves have simple and easy installation in comparison to other types of valves.

Impressive Sealing Performance

In comparison to shut-off valves, the use of gate valves deliver better sealing performance. This is due to the faster rate of response for the opening and closing positions.

Application of Gate valve

Gate Valves are used in a wide range of applications. They are available in different types that meet the needs of varied applications. Some of the gate valves and their suitable use in applications are -

Butt-welding or Socket end-gate valves are typically used in air, feedwater, fuel gas, lube oil, steam and other systems applications. Whereas, threaded-end gate valves may be used in liquid, air or gaseous systems.

If the system application has a concern for leakage from threaded connection then the issue can be addressed by using thread sealants or by seal welding the threaded connection, as suitable. In low pressure and temperature systems such as water piping or water distribution pipelines, fire protection systems’, the use of flanged gate valves are common.

Conclusion

Gate valves are important valve types that are needed in a vast majority of industrial system applications. The Dutco Tennant LLC is set to exhibit its quality gate valve range for the ADIPEC 2022. Visitors will get the opportunity to see them in live product demonstrations and find more insights about them.
