Gate Valves and Check Valves – Valves Supporting Specific Fluid Flow

The gate valves and the check valves are the ideal pipe fitting devices, which help in the flow of fluids in different processes as per requirements. These devices are cost effective, durable and can be simply fitted with the pipes. They are available in different sizes and sometimes customized according to customer specifications.

Valves are the devices which help in controlling the flow of the fluid materials through pipes. Water supply in different places like residents, factories and farm houses gets hugely facilitated by the valves. They are categorized under the fitting devices and are sometimes termed as pipe fittings. According to requirements, valves can be engaged in both obstructing and regulating the flow of fluids. Generally operated manually by handles, levers or pedals, the valves are sometimes equipped with automatic operating systems as well, when pressure, temperature and flow are driven on them. Different types of valves are used for various applications. Two of the most widely used valve types are the gate valves and the check valves.

The gate valves are opened when, a circular or rectangular wedge or gate is lifted from the path of the fluid. This type of valve is used for supporting the straight line flow of a fluid. It also helps in the situations, where less obstruction of the flow is needed. Unlike other valves, the sealing surfaces between the gate and the seats of the valve are plane. This helps in its applications and it is often customized in order to support the regulation of the flow. Most of the gate valves are made of the purest raw materials of stainless steel and are highly durable. Along with the gate valves, one may also get to know about the characteristics of the check valves. A check valve is used when, the flow of the fluid material needs not to change its direction. It has two openings, facilitating in entering and leaving of the fluid. This device is obtainable from the markets in various sizes, which allows in meeting different requirements.

Also, different types of check valves are used all over the world for supporting various applications. Some of the types of check valves are backwater valves, ball check valves, swing check or tilting disc check valves, stop check valves, diaphragm check valves, lift check valves and duckbill valves. The gate valves and the check valves are two of the most popular valves, which have immense importance in the industrial applications regarding the flow of the fluid materials. These types of valves are available from the markets at an affordable cost. They are also durable and can be easily installed with the pipes. Alongside water supply, these valves also find their applications in the industries of hydraulics and pneumatics.
