How Does Gate Valve Work?

Gate valves work by inserting a rectangular gate or wedge into the path of a flowing fluid.

How Does Gate Valve Work?

Gate valves are an important component of many modern industrial systems. They are used to control the flow of liquids and gases, and can be found in a wide variety of applications, from plumbing systems to fuel systems. A gate valve works by using a gate, or disk, to block off a portion of the pipe or other system component. The gate is opened or closed by turning a handle or wheel, which moves the gate up or down. This simple mechanism can be used to quickly and accurately control the flow of fluids through a system.
