Choose a gate valve with a strong, long-lasting design to save money on replacements. Five fundamentals can help for making the best choice.

The foundation we share

In terms of installation and application, the various kinds of couplings and adapters appear to overlap. To have a better understanding of its different types, Couplings and adaptors can be categorized into two primary groups - dedicated and universal, which can then be divided into tensile and non-tensile varieties, resulting into four main categories.

Fixed cone valves are used to pass a controlled amount of water downstream without harming the immediate surroundings due to its qualities that dissipate energy. The valve body is designed to operate with minimum vibration over its full stroke and used specially shaped aerodynamically designed ribs leading to a downstream cone.

Knife gate valves with lever, handwheel, ISO top flange for actuator, pneumatic actuator, or fully equipped with either an electric or pneumatic actuator are available from AVK. The valve's design enables an easy and quick change of actuator.

Knife gate valves are primarily intended for isolation and on/off functions in systems that have a high suspended solids concentration. Knife gate valves are particularly useful for managing viscous, corrosive, and abrasive media especially for slurry handling. The valve are lighweight, easy to operate, have a minimal pressure loss when fully open, and are cost-effective.

Clean water and renewable energy are essential resources for people and the environment throughout the world.
