In the field of engineering and technology, gate valves are essential for fluid control and management. Operating through a gate that lifts to allow flow, these valves are known for their space efficiency and their ability to provide unrestricted fluid flow when fully open. 🚀

🔹 Functionality & Applications 💡

Used to shut off fluid flow, gate valves offer low flow resistance when open, making them ideal for large-diameter pipelines, ranging from 2 inches to massive pipelines. Their less complex design in larger sizes makes them preferable for many industrial applications. 🏗️

🔹 Construction & Materials 🛠️

The bonnets in these valves ensure a tight seal, with variants such as threaded, union, or bolted designs for different applications:

• Threaded bonnet – simple yet effective
• Bolted bonnet – used in larger and high-pressure applications

For high-pressure conditions, the pressure-seal bonnet is crucial, enhancing sealing performance and preventing leaks under demanding conditions.

This design is key in industrial applications where safety and efficiency are top priorities. 🌟
