Knife Gate Valves
Knife gate valves are primarily used for on/off and isolation services in systems with high suspended solids content. Slurry, viscous, corrosive, and abrasive media are all handled efficiently with knife gate valves. Knife gate valves are designed for use in harsh environments. Corrosion is a major concern in wastewater applications.
Applications of knife gate valves
There are many industrial applications for knife gate valves, such as wastewater treatment plants, chemical plants, mining, cement plants, etc.
The advantages of a knife gate valve
They are lightweight and simple to operate mechanically, electrically, or pneumatically, making them simpler to transport, store, install, and maintain.
The disadvantages of knife gate valves
- Low-pressure limitations.
