This Knife Gate Valve ensures optimal performance in demanding applications where reliability and efficient flow control are critical. Its robust design and multiple material options make it suitable for a variety of industries handling challenging media.

  • Size Range: 2" (50mm) to 48" (1200mm)
  • Pressure Rating: PN10, PN16, or ANSI 150#
  • Temperature Range: -20°F to 500°F (-29°C to 260°C), depending on the material
  • Body Materials: Cast iron, ductile iron, stainless steel (304, 316), carbon steel, or alloy steel
  • Gate Material: Stainless steel (304, 316), hardened steel, or special alloys for abrasion resistance
  • Seat Material: EPDM, NBR, PTFE, metal seats, or other elastomers based on application
  • Actuation Options: Manual (handwheel, lever), Pneumatic, Electric, or Hydraulic actuators
  • End Connections: Lug, wafer, or flanged design to fit standard pipelines
  • Leakage Class: Zero leakage for resilient seated versions, Class IV or V for metal seated versions
  • Flow Direction: Bi-directional or uni-directional, depending on the model
  • Unobstructed Flow: Full port design minimizes flow resistance, ensuring efficient operation with minimal pressure drop.
  • High Performance in Tough Conditions: Ideal for thick fluids, slurries, or abrasive media; the sharp blade cuts through solids, preventing clogging.
  • Low Maintenance: Minimal moving parts reduce wear and tear, leading to long service intervals and reduced operational costs.
  • Compact Design: Space-saving construction allows for easy installation in tight spaces, including retrofits.
  • Versatile Material Options: Available in a variety of body and gate materials, tailored for different industrial applications (corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, etc.).
  • Manual or Automated: Options for manual, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric actuation offer flexibility for various operational needs.
  • Bubble-tight Sealing: The resilient seated versions provide a bubble-tight shutoff, preventing leakage and ensuring process integrity.
  • Easy to Operate: Low-torque requirement for manual operation and smooth action due to the knife-edge gate design.
  • End Connection Flexibility: Lug, wafer, or flanged connections allow easy integration into existing or new piping systems.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Materials like stainless steel and special alloys ensure longevity, even in corrosive or abrasive environments.
