The knife gate valve has a shearing function, which can scrape off the adhesive medium on the sealing surface and automatically remove debris. The stainless steel gate valve can prevent sealing leakage caused by corrosion. The knife gate valve is suitable for coal, slag discharge, urban sewage treatment, food, paper, medicine, petroleum, chemical and other oil, water, steam pipeline...

These three materials of stainless steel 304, 304H and 304L are often used in valve industry. Among three, 304 is the most common one, like SS304 ball valve, SS304 gate valve, SS304 globe valve, SS304 check valve we often see. In fact, according to the content of chromium and nickel, they all belong to stainless steel 304, since they all contains 18% chromium (Cr) and 8% nickel (Ni). The ma...

People often have a confusion between a knife gate valve and slide gate valve. In brief, knife gate valve uses a blade to cut through thick liquids or gas; while a slide gate valve utilizes a slide plate to shut off flow of dry bulk material. In this article, we will discuss their differences in details. Knife Gate Valve Knife gate valves were originally designed for pulp and paper industry. ...

Gate Valve is the most widely used one among all types of valves. Gate Valve, whose disc or wedge moves vertically along the axis of the channel, has the same basic function of other valves, turning on or turning off channels. In the pipeline, it is used as a piece to connect and cut off the media inside. What is worthy to be noted is that an ordinary gate valve usually opens or close pipeline com...

If the medium remained in the cavity after the cryogenic gate valve is closed, the residue will gradually absorb the heat in the air and re-gasify. After the gasification, it will expand violently up to 600 times and generate extremely high pressure on the valve, which is called 'abnormal boost'. When the unusual occurrence happens, the wedge will be pressed firmly onto the seat and can’t be opene...

The biggest difference between a knife gate valve and a flanged gate valve is that gate valve is manufactured according to ANSI , while knife gate valve meets TAPPI Standards. Gate valves are also flanged, wider in size, ANSI pressure rated, and their API leak tightness standards need to be met as well. Gate valves are bi-directional, widely used in fluid applications, and they only come with meta...
