What is the function of stainless steel gate valve？

The main function of stainless steel gate valves is to control the flow of fluids. ‌

Stainless steel gate valve is a control component used in pipeline fluid transportation systems, whose main functions include diversion, shut-off, regulation, throttling, check, diversion or overflow pressure relief, etc. This type of valve is widely used in chemical, petrochemical, petroleum, papermaking, mining, power, municipal, equipment supporting, electronic industry, urban construction and other fields, for controlling the flow of various types of fluids such as water, steam, oil, gas, mud, various corrosive media, liquid metals and radioactive fluids. The material of stainless steel gate valves includes 304 stainless steel gate valves, 316 stainless steel gate valves, 321 stainless steel gate valves, etc. Its working principle is that the direction of movement of the gate is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid, and it can only be fully opened and fully closed, and cannot be adjusted or throttled. In addition, stainless steel gate valves also have multiple valve seats to choose from, and can be equipped with electric or pneumatic actuators according to on-site control requirements to achieve automatic operation of the valve. ‌

Stainless steel gate valves can be divided into wedge type gate valves based on their sealing surface configuration, with the gate plate moving in a straight line along with the valve stem. The gate of a wedge gate valve can be made into a rigid or slightly deformable elastic gate to improve processability and compensate for deviations in sealing surface angles during processing. The design and material selection of stainless steel gate valves enable them to have good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and can operate stably for a long time in harsh working environments. ‌

In addition, there is a heavy-duty version of stainless steel gate valve, which meets the wall thickness standards and material requirements of relevant domestic and foreign material standards. It is suitable for applications that require higher strength and durability. ‌
