What is the function of gate valves on ships?
What Does Gate Valve Mean? A gate valve has a flat closure element that slides into the flow stream to stop the fluid. They are one of the most commonly used valves, and are primarily used to permit or prevent the flow of liquids. Gate valve, also called gate valve, is a widely used valve. Its closing principle is that the sealing surface of the gate and the sealing surface of the valve seat are highly smooth, flat and consistent, and fit each other, which can prevent the medium from flowing through, and rely on the top mold, spring or the mold shape of the gate to enhance the sealing effect. It mainly plays a cutting role in the pipeline. Its advantages are: small fluid resistance, easy opening and closing, can be used in the case of two-way flow of medium, no directionality, sealing surface is not easy to be eroded when fully open, short structure length, not only suitable for small valves, but also suitable for big valve. Gate valves can be used in demanding environments such as h
