The offered range of knife gate valves is manufactured keeping in consideration the variegated requirements of our respectable customers. To rule out every possibility of defect, we thoroughly inspect these knife gate valves on certain well-defined parameters of quality.

Knife gate valves are a specific type of isolation valve that is typically used for media that are not hazardous such as wastewater. The bore of a knife gate valve is full and smooth so the use of a cleaning pig for maintenance is possible. While there is no pressure loss across the valve, they are susceptible to "chatterï or vibration during opening or closing caused by fluid flow against the gate. This is not a significant issue as the appropriate application for a knife gate valve is isolation, not flow restriction, so the normal operating position is fully open or fully closed. A thin (typically) stainless-steel gate is raised and lowered into the bore by a spindle or rising screw and, unlike other gate valves, lifts outside of the valve body when raised. The guide and seal are located around the circumference of the bore and provide a bi-directional, bubble-tight seal.
