Learn the differences between sluice valves and gate valves. Discover their design, uses, and advantages to make the right choice for your needs.
While they are often suited for similar applications, their designs differ significantly. Let’s take a closer look at the differences between these two valve types and explore how to choose the most suitable option for your specific needs.
Gate valves are one of the most common types of valves, using linear motion to control the flow of fluids. They are either in a fully open or fully closed position. They are suitable for all fluid services, such as air, gas, water supply, lubricating oil, steam, and hydrocarbons. Today, this article explains the common variations of gate valves.
Although butterfly valves come in various types, their core components and functions are essentially the same. The main parts of a butterfly valve include the body, stem, sealing device, upper bearing, lower bearing, bonnet, actuator, seat, and disc. The design of each component may vary depending on the materials used, the fluid medium, and the specific application.
