African Valve is the top Gate Valve supplier in Egypt. A gate valve is a linear motion type valve used to start or stop the flow of liquids and gases in fluid applications; they are commonly used in fully open or fully closed positions, offering minimal obstruction to the flow path when open and tight sealing when closed which make them a perfect choice for the fluids application such as process plants and water systems.
Gate valves play a crucial role in many industrial processes where control of fluids is critical, provide tight shut off and prevent leakage in the fluid system. Gate valves provide isolation which is important for maintaining the safety and efficiency of the process in industries such as oil and gas industries, chemical processing and many more. They help to maintain smooth and safe functioning in industrial processes ensuring optimal performance and system reliability.
Advantages:
Gate Valves are robust linear motion types of valves which are used to control the flow of fluids in the application.
-
Gate valves are highly versatile and can handle a wide range of fluids, liquids, gaese and slurries which makes them suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries, including petrochemical, power generation, wastewater treatment.
-
They are known for their robust construction and durability which make them withstand high temperatures and pressure suitable for many industries.
-
Gate valves provide uninterrupted flow of fluids when fully open and allow pressure drop and allow for maximum flow capacity.
-
When they are closed they allow tight shut off and prevent leakage.
-
They can manage bi directional flow of fluids; this makes them suitable for use in systems where flow direction may change.

What are Gate Valve used for?
They are used for a variety of applications across different industries due to their versatility and ability to provide tight shut-off. Some common uses include:
-
Isolation: Gate Valves are often used for on-off service to isolate sections of pipelines or equipment from the rest of the system. They provide a tight shut off when close and prevent backflow.
-
Flow Control: While these valves are primarily designed for on-off service, they can also be used for throttling applications to regulate the flow of fluid. By partially opening or closing the valve, the flow rate can be adjusted as needed.
-
Water distribution: Gate valves are commonly used in water distribution systems for controlling the flow of potable water, wastewater, and irrigation water.
-
Fire protection system: Used for controlling the flow of water during fire emergencies. They are designed to provide reliable shut-off capabilities to prevent water leakage
