<p>A gate valve (1) is disclosed for mounting in a pipeline, the gate valve (1) comprising a valve body (3) and a gate (21) mounted in the valve body (3) so as to be movable between an open position, and a closed position where a valve opening (7) formed in the valve body (3) is closed by the gate (21). The gate (21) comprises two opposed faces (24, 25) spaced from the transverse plane (22) of the gate (21), at least one face (24) being provided with at least two seals (41, 43) that each extend around the face (24) one seal being located within the periphery of the other such that both seals (41, 43), when the gate (21) is in the closed position, seal against a seat (5) of the valve body (3) to seal against the pressure of fluid acting on the gate (21) in use. A gate (21) is disclosed having four seals (41, 43, 45, 47) in total, two (41, 43) on the upstream gate face (24) and two (45, 47) on the downstream gate face (25).</p> |
