What are the sealing mechanisms used in big size gate valves to ensure tight shut-off?

In big size gate valves, several sealing mechanisms are used to ensure tight shut-off and prevent leakage. Here are some common sealing mechanisms employed in large gate valves: Metal-to-Metal Sealing: This sealing mechanism involves direct contact between the gate and the valve seat surface. When the gate is lowered or raised, it presses against the […]
