Gate Valves are pimarily used for on/off control with minimal pressure drop.
They operate by lifting a rectangular or round gate out of the fluid path.
They are used for isolation purposes in subsea pipelines and wellhead systems.
These valves are typically made from stainless steel, duplex stainless steel, or Inconel.
They have high sealing integrity and are suitable for high-pressure environments, but a slower operation due to multi-turn mechanism.
