Parts Of A Gate Valve

A valve with a sliding part that controls the extent of the aperture

(GATE VALVES) have a wheel type handle. Several turns of the handle are required to turn off a gate valve. Gate valves are most commonly used on main line pipes with high water pressure or high water flow.

A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a round or rectangular gate/wedge out of the path of the fluid.

A valve that lets you completely stop, but not modulate, the flow within a pipe.

Lock and Dam 24

Located in Clarksville, Missouri, Lock and Dam 24 is part of the Upper Mississippi River Nine Foot Navigation Project. Construction on Lock and Dam 24 began on July 20, 1936 and was finished on March 12, 1940. A major rehab of the lock and dam was completed in 2005. This work consisted of replacing a large portion of the concrete in the lock chamber walls, walkways and work areas. Also, new gate and valve machinery was installed elevating the electrical components above the 1993 flood levels. The dam consists of 15 fully submersible tainter gates. These gates pivot vertically to control water flow. In times of high water, these gates are raised completely and the river flows almost unimpeded, allowing a more natural flow of the river. The lock chamber consists of four miter gates (two at each end of the chamber), and four valves (two at each end). All boats wishing to pass through a dam must lock through the lock chamber, even during open river conditions.

Emily Dickinson

(calligraphy is from Dickinson's The Soul selects Her Own Society, My LifeClosed Twice Before Its Close and Presentiment) Emily Dickinson The soul selects her own society, Then shuts the door; On her divine majority Obtrude no more. Unmoved, she notes the chariot's passing At her low gate; Unmoved, an emperor kneeling Upon her mat. I've known her from an ample nation Choose one; Then close the valves of her attention Like stone. I never saw a Moor My life closed twice before its close; It yet remains to see If immortality unveil A third event to me, So huge, so hopeless to conceive, As these that twice befell. Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell. Presentiment---is that long shadow---on the lawn--- Indicative that sun goes down--- The notice to the startled grass That darkness---is about to pass---
