Carbon & Stainless Steel Knife Gate Valves

Carbon steel knife gate valves are common in industries that handle viscous and abrasive fluids from the oil and gas industry. They can cut through these fluids, which might clog other valves. They can be especially beneficial for mining and mineral, pulp and paper, and water and wastewater treatment industries.

Features and Benefits of Stainless and Carbon Steel Knife Gate Valves

Knife gate valves perform specific functions, particularly where controlling the flow of thick, viscous fluids, slurry, and other challenging media is necessary. Their characteristics include:

Slender Gate: The valve's gate is thin and sharp, which allows it to cut through thick fluids or slurry.
Unobstructed Bore: This design feature minimizes pressure drop across the valve, improving flow capacity and efficiency.
Seat Design: Seats consist of various materials and designs that provide a tight shutoff and can withstand different operating environments.
Rising or Non-rising Stem: Knife gate valves can come with either a rising stem, which moves up and down visibly, or a non-rising stem, which is compact and useful in limited-space applications.

You can operate stainless steel knife gate valves manually or equip them with pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric actuators.
