What Is a Gate Valve?

A gate valve is used in industrial systems to control the flow of liquids or gases by opening or closing a passage.

In this video, Radwell explains why gate valves are commonly used in applications that require full-flow capability and minimal pressure drop when open.

*Key topics include:*
- How gate valves control fluid flow
- On/off isolation versus flow regulation
- Common industrial and process applications
- Benefits of full-port flow and low flow resistance

Understanding gate valves can help support informed maintenance decisions, reliable operation and effective fluid system performance.
