Knife gate valves became advantageous in sludge and slurry applications because their blades can cut right through thick liquids easily.

Knife gate valves aplicactions.
Knife gate valves should only be used for applications requiring a completely open or completely closed position and should not be used to regulate flow unless they are designed for it.
They are available in large sizes to better handle thick flows of heavy oils light grease slurry paper pulp varnish and wastewater.
They are also used in applications that involve viscous liquids such as heavy oils light grease varnish molasses honey cream and other non flammable viscous liquids.
Whenever fluid is forced against a partially closed gate there will be a vibration gradually eroding the disc and seat.
