Knife Gate Valves
Our Valves are produced according to International ASTM ANSI Standards, ASTM API Standards, and ASTM DIN Standards in India.
Product Description
A Knife Gate Valves, also known as a sluice valve, is a Valve that opens by raising a round or rectangular gate/wedge out of the route of the fluid. Knife Gate Valves are purposely designed to start or stop the flow, and when least flow restraints are needed. In working, these Valves commonly are either fully opened or fully closed.
Knife Gate Valves are widely used for all types of applications and are suitable for both above-ground and underground installation. Not least for underground installations, it is paramount to choose the right type of Valves to avoid high replacement costs.
