Industries & Applications
Knife gate valves are a versatile design that offer superior performance and reliability over conventional valve designs in a variety of difficult applications and are generally not used in clean media where conventional valves are adequate.
Knife gate valves are used in handling solids and liquid. They are used for flow isolation as well as throttling/control duties in a limited way e.g. V-Notch in a Uni-Directional Knife Gate Valve.
Most knife gate valve applications involve relatively low pressures, typically 10 bar/150psi or less. Due to their simple constructional features, knife gate valves can handle temperature fluctuations that could seriously damage or hamper the workings of conventional valve designs.
