Sluice Valve

A gate valve also may be commonly referred by the name sluice valve, opens by raising a block (gate) in the passage where the fluid flows. A particular kind of isolation valve being used regulate the fluid flow in a production system is the gate valve. A sluice is a man-made waterway that controls water flow with the help of a gate. Industrial applications are the primary use of sluice valves and industrial gate valves. Gate valves and sluice valves operate and are employed significantly differently. For applications involving in-line sealing and sludge, a gate valve may be a viable choice. The sluice gate valve, however, is your best choice if you need to maintain a steady flow in a sluice or stream.

Using only a wedge-shaped plate as the gate, a gate valve, also commonly called as simply sluice control valve, controls the flow of fluid in or out of the pipeline. Whenever the gate is fully opened, the disc of the aforementioned gate valve is completely severed from the flow. This provides flow resistance that is essentially nonexistent. As a result, the fluid flows through the gate valve with only a small amount of pressure loss. A sluice gate valve is the type of valve most frequently used in production plants to handle slurries.

While in use, these valves are either entirely open or completely closed. Sluice gate valves cannot be used for precise throttling, hence they cannot be used. High pressure could make friction a problem. It gets harder to control the valve as the gate is pushed up against its own guide rail by that the pressure of the medium. In order to lower the pressure when the gated valve is opened, large gate valves frequently have a bypass that is managed by a smaller valve.

There are two primary categories of sluice valves: parallel and wedge-shaped. The knife gate valve, which has a sharp edge just on bottom of the gate, is a common type of parallel gate valve that uses a flat gate across two parallel seats. The wedge-shaped control valves have two inclined seating and an inclined gate that is slightly out of alignment.

The hsn code for sluice valve in India is 8481.
