A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, operates by lifting a barrier (the gate) out of the fluid’s path to allow flow. Ductile iron is highly favored for gate valves because it offers excellent strength and durability, which ensures a longer service life even under high pressure and varying temperature conditions.
