Key Features of Wedge Gate Valve
Bidirectional Shut-Off: Multi-turn operation with a wedge-shaped disc for reliable sealing in both flow directions
Minimal Pressure Drop: Fully open valve provides straight-through flow with low flow resistance
On-Off Functionality: Ideal for isolating flow; not recommended for throttling or flow regulation
High Temperature Ready: Features metal seats, making it suitable for high-temperature applications unlike most soft-seated ball valves
Solid Particle Compatibility: Effective in handling fluids with suspended solids, ideal for mining and slurry services
Cost-Effective Alternative: Generally more economical than ball valves with broader industrial application
Wide Industry Use: Commonly used in oil & gas, petroleum refining, chemical processing, mining, water treatment, power generation, and LNG systems
