What Is Gate Valve?

Marine gate valve is a special valve, mainly used to control the flow of liquid in the pipeline inside the ship. It is composed of a valve body, a seat, a disc, a stem and a handle, and has two modes of manual operation and electric operation.

Gate valves work by driving the stem through a handle or a motor so that the disc moves up and down within the seat to open or close the valve. When the valve is closed, the medium flow in the pipeline can be cut off; When the valve is open, the medium can be allowed to flow through the valve.

Marine gate valve is characterized by simple structure, convenient operation, safety and reliability. Because the Marine gate valve needs to be switched on and off frequently in the ship's pipeline system, it needs to have good sealing performance and wear resistance. At the same time, because the Marine gate valve needs to be used at sea, it also needs to have good corrosion resistance and weather resistance.

When choosing a Marine gate valve, factors such as the pressure, temperature, nature of the medium and the use environment of the valve need to be considered. According to different use occasions and working conditions, different types of gate valves can be selected, such as parallel gate valves, wedge gate valves and so on.

Marine gate valve is one of the indispensable equipment in the ship system, which plays an important role in ensuring the safety and normal operation of the ship. The correct selection and maintenance of gate valves is of great significance to the long-term stable operation of ships.
