What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Gate Valves?
Advantages of Gate Valve:
1. Small fluid resistance, the sealing surface is less affected by the medium's rubbing and corrosion.
2. Opening and closing is more labor-saving.
3. The flow direction of the medium is not restricted, no disturbance, no pressure reduction.
4. Simple shape, short structure length, good manufacturing process, wide application range.
Disadvantages of gate valve:
1. Erosion and abrasion are easy to cause between the sealing surfaces, and repair is more difficult.
2. The overall size is large, a certain amount of space is required for opening, and the opening and closing time is long.
3. The structure is more complicated.
