shut-off valves & gate valves

For shutting off and dosing: Shut-off valves and gate valves can continuously throttle the flow of medium in a piping system and finally shut it off completely.

Types and differences of shut-off valves and gate valves

Shut-off valves and gate valves are essential components in many piping systems. They are used to control the flow of media such as water, gas or oil safely and efficiently. But what exactly is the difference between these two types of valves and what variants are there? Here you will find an overview:

shut-off valves

Shut-off valves close the flow by pressing a valve disc onto the valve seat. The movement is triggered by the rotation of a spindle, which is controlled by a handwheel.

Features of shut-off valves:

  • Precise control: Allows finer control of flow than gate valves.

  • Compact design: Space-saving, particularly suitable for smaller lines.

  • High tightness: The design ensures reliable sealing at high pressures.

Variants of shut-off valves:

  1. Standard shut-off valve: The valve disc closes the seat by linear movement.

  2. Needle valve: Here a needle serves as a shut-off device, ideal for particularly fine flow control.

  3. Diaphragm valve: A flexible diaphragm provides sealing, particularly suitable for corrosive or abrasive media.

gate valve

In contrast to shut-off valves, the flow in a gate valve is interrupted by a locking wedge. This is pushed between two seats by the rotation of the spindle.

Features of gate valves:

  • Minimal flow resistance: When open, there is almost no pressure loss.

  • Suitable for large pipes: Particularly effective in systems with high flow rates.

  • Simple design: Less susceptible to wear when solid particles are present in the medium.

Variants of gate valves:

  1. Wedge valve: The shape of the wedge ensures additional tightness.

  2. Parallel gate valve: Uses parallel seating surfaces, particularly suitable for steam or gas lines.

  3. Knife gate valve: With a sharp edge for separating media containing solids, such as sludge.

When is which valve type suitable?

  • Shut-off valves: Ideal for applications where precision and tightness are required, such as in heating or plumbing systems.

  • Gate valves: Perfect for large piping systems where low flow resistance is important, such as in water or wastewater systems.

By carefully selecting the right valve, you can ensure efficiency, safety and longevity in your system. Our experts will be happy to advise you on which valve is best suited to your application!
