General Applications:
KNIFE GATE VALVES without an extra sealing ring on the gate or the seat are used in applications where minor leaking of the valve is not an issue, such as heating circuits or sewer pipes. These valves are mostly suited for abrasive slurries, pulp stock, semi-solids, dry ash, chips, etc.
