Gate valves are used in many industrial applications including the oil and gas industry, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, automotive, and marine.
Non-rising stem gate valves are very popular on ships, in underground applications, or where vertical space is limited because they don't take up extra space. Gate valves can be
Reliable, tight shutoff and low-pressure drop operation characterize the WEIN range of gate valves. Flexible wedge, split wedge, slab gate and double-disk configurations cover a range of requirements to meet any user need, from general service to severe conditions with gross thermal transients or dual-phase fluids.
Valve Function
Gate valves are primarily designed for on-off services. They are best used in systems which require infrequent use of the valve. The valves are designed for full-area flow to minimize the pressure drop and allow the passage of a pipe-cleaning pig. Since most of the flow change occurs near the shutoff, the relatively high fluid velocity causes disk and seat wear and eventual leakage if the valve is used to regulate flow.
