In oil & gas, marine or any industries, where the process piping system is installed, valves are one of the most crucial parts of the system to control the flow. Valves are used to stop, allow or reroute the flow of fluid, gas or chemical. To make this process smooth different kinds of valves are used to manage the flow depending on the functionality and requirements. Gate valves are very popular for the processes. If gate valve investment casting is done right, the pipeline process runs smoothly for a longer period of time. Gate valve failure like seat or wedge corrosion, stem break-off, etc. can arise if the gate valve investment casting manufacturer has no adequate knowledge or facilities to adhere to the tight tolerances and manufacture it according to the technical literature. One can obviously repair a malfunctioning gate valve but it's always better to prevent it from malfunctioning.

Valves are critical components in a piping system. It may contribute 15 to 30 percent of the total piping system cost. So, the engineers have to choose the right quality of valves at the design stage only. Failure of valves can result in entire piping system failure and a lot of cost of the project. Gate valves are the most common types of valves used in any piping system.
