Manual gate valve
A manual gate valve is a type of valve commonly used in piping systems to control the flow of fluids.
The main feature of a gate valve is the presence of a flat or wedge-shaped gate that slides up and down within the valve body to open or close the flow passage. When the gate is fully raised, the valve is in the open position, allowing for unobstructed fluid flow. When the gate is lowered, it blocks the passage, stopping the flow.
Manual operation means that the opening and closing of the valve is controlled by hand, typically using a handwheel or a lever. This provides a simple and straightforward way to regulate the flow, but it requires physical effort and is less suitable for frequent or rapid adjustments compared to automated valves.
Manual gate valves are known for their ability to handle high-pressure and high-temperature fluids. They offer a relatively low resistance to flow when fully open, resulting in minimal pressure drop across the valve.
These valves are widely used in various industries such as oil and gas, water supply and distribution, and industrial processes. They are often chosen for applications where a straight-through, full-flow path is required and tight shut-off is important.
