Single Disc vs Double Disc Gate Valves Explained
Compare single-disc and double-disc gate valves by disc structure, sealing mechanism, operating torque, pressure sensitivity, maintenance, and application. Single-disc gate valves offer a simpler, lower-cost design for stable high-pressure and high-temperature service, while double-disc designs provide better low-pressure and bidirectional sealing for water supply, wastewater, and other pipeline isolation systems.
