Through Conduit Knife Gate Valve
Through Conduit Knife Gate Valve – Full Bore Opening for Unrestricted Flow and Pigging
Through Conduit Knife Gate Valves provide full-bore openings matching pipeline ID exactly, enabling unrestricted flow and pipeline pig passage critical for African mining slurry transport, viscous oil pipelines, and solids-handling systems requiring periodic pigging for cleaning or batch separation. The gate retracts completely from the flow stream, creating an unobstructed straight-through passage when fully open.
Dominating African applications requiring pigging capability—including crude oil pipelines, mining slurry transport from Tanzanian gold operations, and DRC mineral processing—through conduit knife gate valves serve DN 50 to DN 1200 (2″ to 48″) full-bore applications in Class 150-600 ratings. The full-bore design eliminates flow restrictions and pressure drop when open while enabling pipeline cleaning pigs to pass through without obstruction—essential for viscous fluids, slurry lines, and pipelines requiring periodic mechanical cleaning.
