Gate Valves or sluice valve, are characterized as the valve which opens up with the help of lifting of the round or rectangular gate/wedge from the fluid path. One of the noted feature of the gate valve is the sealing surface which falls in between the gate and seats are seen as the planar. The gate faces are capable of forming the wedge shape or they can either be parallel. Sometimes gate valves are also used for controlling and regulating flow but many gate valves are generally not suitable for this purpose, having been designed in the manner which is either fully opened or closed. When gate valves are open fully the typical gate valves face no obstruction in the path flow which in turns result into the loss of very low friction. Gate valves are known as having either high or non rising stem. The rising stem gives rise to the visual indication of the valve position. Non rising stems are put into use in those situation where vertical space is limited or in underground. Gate valves generally consist of the flanged ends which are drilled as per the pipeline compatible flange dimensional standards. Typically gate valves are manufactured from the cast iron, ductile iron, gun metal, cast carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steels and forged steels.
