DeZURIK’s new Knife Gate Valve Selection Guide is designed to assist users with the valve selection process. The guide helps users navigate DeZURIK’s broad knife gate valve product range based on general specification requirements, common media and applications by industry. Specific industry applications for pulp & paper; mining & minerals processing; chemical & petrochemical; municipal water/wastewater; hydropower/dams; power; and food & beverage are included in the guide.
Within the selection chart, the guide uses five color-coded ratings to categorise each valve style’s general usage in a particular application: Not Used, Limited Application, May Be Used, Typical Application and Maximum Performance. The chart considers both cost and performance factors for a specific application when determining its rating. The maximum performance rating is assigned to the valve style that will usually provide the best performance and the lowest cost of ownership in a particular application.
