Description
Fluent Valves’ gate valves are designed primarily for isolation (on/off) services and are not generally recommended for throttling. Built for durability and stability, our gate valves incorporate designs optimized for long service life even under extreme conditions.
We manufacture outside-screw & yoke (OS&Y), rising stem gate valves with backseat arrangements, ensuring safety, easy maintenance, and reliable sealing. Key working parts are renewable and made from SS 410 (13% Cr) by default, with alternate metallurgy options available.
Fluent’s gate valves support a broad array of actuation methods: handwheel, gear-operated, electric actuators, or pneumatic actuators. When torque exceeds 350 N·m, we offer gear operation. Optional features may include limit switches, position indicators, locking arrangements, and stelliting of seats for wear resistance.
We support advanced features such as pressure-seal bonnets, bolted bonnets, and compliance for sour service environments.
With a strong focus on matching global standards and client needs, Fluent Valves is among the leading gate valve manufacturers and suppliers in India, offering certified products for demanding applications such as hydrocarbons, cryogenics, hydrogen, oxygen, and fugitive-emissions control.
Features
- Efficient Shut-Off Performance - offers tight sealing when fully closed, minimal leakage.
- Unobstructed Flow - full bore (unrestricted flow) minimizes pressure drop.
- Modular Construction - parts can be replaced without full removal of the valve in many cases.
- Robust Design for High Pressure & Temperature - built for severe and critical services.
- Versatile Actuation - handwheel, gear, electric, or pneumatic options.
- Advanced Safety & Compliance - features like backseat, limit switches, stellited surfaces, IBR/NACE approvals.
- Wide Material Range - custom materials for corrosion resistance, high temperature, etc.
Applications
Gate valves from Fluent Valves are widely used in:
- Water & Wastewater Treatment (isolation in pipelines)
- Oil & Gas (petroleum transport, pipeline shut-off)
- Petrochemical & Chemical Processing
- Power Plants (steam, cooling, feed water)
- Marine & Offshore (ballast systems, isolating lines)
- Cryogenic & Gas Processing
- Severe & High Temperature Services

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions about our gate valves:
Generally no - gate valves are designed for full open / full close (isolation). They do not provide precise flow control and can suffer damage if used for throttling.
In rising stem valves, the stem moves vertically as the valve opens/closes, making position visible. In non-rising stem designs, the stem does not move outward.
Full bore (full port) ensures unrestricted flow and minimum pressure drop. Reduced bore is more compact and cost-effective when slight flow restriction is acceptable.
Yes. We offer materials like stainless, duplex, alloys, and coatings. compliance for sour service.
Handwheel, gear-operated (if torque exceeds limits), electric actuators, pneumatic actuators. Also, accessories like limit switches, position indicators, locking devices.
Our valves align with API 600, API 602, API 598, ANSI standards, and can be manufactured to meet specifications as required.
