What is the definition of sluice valve?
It can be defined as followed. Valve in sliding water gate.
What is the functional difference between gate valve and sluice valve?
a gate valve is a positive shut off valve for liquids and gases and should only be used in the fully open or closed positions, different temperatures and pressures must be considered to insure the correct type of valve to install. a sluice valve is a non-positive shut off valve used for heavier materials such as stone,grain,sand,etc.
What is the difference between gate valve and globe valve?
The external housing (shell) of gate and globe valves are similar, but the globe valve is designed to serve as a regulating valve, meaning that it can adjust the flow by the percentage of the opening. However, the gate valve is not designed to regulate flow, but to stop the flow. A gate valve should always be either fully open or fully closed. The main difference is in the form of the inner elements and the form of the flow inside the valves. In addition, the gate valve may have a rising or non rising stem while the globe valve is typically a rising stem design. The direction of flow through a gate valve is not important. However a globe valve has a flow direction indicated on the outer shell (body) which indicates the direction of flow from beneath the seat. In a gate valve, the closure element is a plate or disk which travels parallel to the plane of the seat. The gate in a dam is a well known example. In a globe valve, the closure element is usually called a "poppet", and it travels perpendicular to the plane of the seat. There are specific advantages and disadvantages to each type depending on the application. The application for a globe valve is regulating flow. It is not well suited for full stop isolation. The gate valve is an isolation valve and not designed to regulate flow.
What type of valve for incoming water service gate or ball valve?
Ball valve is usually preferable. full flow with no restriction and a lot easier and faster to turn off when needed.
What is the function of gate valve?
A gate valve is positive shut off and used for on of off . A globe valve is for throttling
What is the difference of gate valve to gate valve?
a gate valve is a valve you turn the handle round and round until it shuts off a ball valve is a valve with a lever that you turn 1/4 turn and its off hope this helps plumber paul

Difference between globe valve and gate valve?
The Gate valve is the stop valve & the Globe valve is the fluid Regulating valve.
What is the definition of sluice valve?
It can be defined as followed. Valve in sliding water gate.
Is gate valve used for throttling?
Never. Throttling will erode the valve seat and then the valve will never shut off completely.
How do you replace a gate valve on a domestic water system?
By shutting off the water supply and replacing the valve
What is the application of slide gate valve?
Application is shutting off supply, usually water. -Gate valves are 'Old hat' and inefficient, get a new ball valve instead.
Which direction is 'on' for the water main valve?
Ball valves: The handle will be parallel to the pipe when on and perpendicular when off. Gate valve: Clockwise off, Counter-Clockwise on.
Can you clean an egr valve on a chrysler 300 v8?
You could take it off and clean it with carburetor cleaner, but it probably will not help. It will need replaced.
Why is it called a butterfly valve?
Because the inner area where the fluid moves has a gate which is shaped like a butterfliys wings. Passing through the centre of this gate is a rod which ends outside the valve where the handle is attached. When the gate is open it allows flow, when closed the gate seals off the valve stopping flow or if require can be partially turned to restrict flow
