peer agreement (net): +1gate valve Explanation: <<robinet-vanne à opercule Termes équivalents: vanne à coin, robinet de sectionnement Robinet dont l'obturateur dit opercule se déplace dans le fluide par translation selon un axe orthogonal à l'écoulement du fluide>> <<Gate valve. A stop valve which closes the flow in a pipe by a plate at right angles to the flow. The plate slides in its own plane and beds on the seating round the bore of the pipe when it is closed (variants possible). When open it offers less resistance to the flow of fluid than any other valve type (debatable!), since the full bore of the pipe is available for flow>> As opposed to butterfly valves, ball valves, swing (check) valves, etc. It is a broad family type of valve rather than a specific type within that subset. |
