Gate valve is a type of installation device used in pipe systems to control to the flow of liquids through them. The gate vales have gates that open and close inside a closed body connected to the pipeline. The Parallel Gate Valves have parallelly connected gate. The gate face gives the designation of the valves such as parallel gate valve or the Wedge-shaped Gate Valves. The wedge shaped gate valves are more common in operation. The material of the gate valve can differ from ferritic iron to austenitic, duplex and alloy steel material. Carbon steel and mild steel material are also used in the production of the gate valves. The gate can be made of different material types as well.

The Metal Seated Gate Valve has metal piece as the gate. This gate resides inside a body of the valve and is moved into the pipe and out of the pipe by a connected thread that is operated by a handle. There are different types of valve stems that hold the thread and handle. The rising stem valve is one of the most commonly used valves. The Metal Seated Knife Gate Valve is a different type of gate valve. Here the gate is a knife. There are operations which involve plastic solutions and high viscosity liquids. These liquids can be hard to stop with ordinary piece of metal. So the gates are designed as knives to cut through these high viscosity fluids so that the flow can be easily controlled.
