A sluice valve, also known as a gate valve, is a type of valve that is primarily used to shut off the flow of fluid in a pipeline. When fully opened, the sluice valve allows uninterrupted fluid flow with minimal pressure drop.

A sluice valve is a device that regulates the flow of liquid in a fully opened or fully closed position. The sluice valve is a gate or wedge-shaped disc that moves perpendicularly to the direction of the liquid entering or exiting the pipeline.

A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a barrier (gate) out of the path of the fluid. Gate valves require very little space along the pipe axis and hardly restrict the flow of fluid when the gate is fully opened.

A sluice (/ slus / SLOOS) is a water channel containing a sluice gate, a type of lock to manage the water flow and water level. It can also be an open channel which processes material, such as a river sluice used in gold prospecting or fossicking.

In hydraulic engineering, the sluice gate valve is a critical component of hydraulic structures, offering the capability to seal the orifice of the building when necessary, or to fully or partially open the orifice to regulate upstream and downstream water levels and flow.

Sep 6, 2024 · Gate valves, also known as sluice valves, are essential components in fluid control systems designed to either fully open or fully close the flow of fluids. Unlike other valves that regulate flow, gate valves are specifically used to shut off flow completely.

Sep 30, 2024 · A sluice valve, also known as a gate valve, is a widely used component in water distribution systems, wastewater treatment plants, and industrial applications. Its primary function is to regulate the flow of liquids, typically water, by either fully opening or fully closing a passage.

A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a barrier (gate) out of the path of the fluid. Gate valves require very little space along the pipe axis and hardly restrict the flow of fluid when the gate is fully opened.

To open the valve, the sliding gate is retracted into the bonnet. Gate valves are typically employed for temperatures between -20 to 60 °C, pressures up to 16 bar (g) and flow rates of between 5 (liquids) to 20 (gasses) metres per second. Higher pressures cannot be achieved as damage to the packing would occur.

6.1 All sluice valves on site have a clear arrow which indicates which way is open/close and all staff and contractors are trained by the Environmental Manager in operating a sluice valve.
