🔍 Key Concepts

• Gate valve design and purpose in piping systems • Difference between on/off (isolation) valves and throttling/regulating valves • Common installation orientation and service types for gate valves

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is a gate valve typically meant to be an on/off isolation device, or a fine flow-control device? • Consider what can happen to the valve disc and seats if the valve is left partially open for long periods. • Think about whether the function of a gate valve depends on stem orientation or a specific fluid type like steam only.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what type of valve is normally used for throttling/regulating flow (e.g., globe, needle vs. gate). • Check whether standard references describe gate valves as isolation (fully open/fully closed) devices. • Confirm if there is any common requirement that gate valves must be mounted with the stem in a particular direction or limited to one specific service, like steam.
