• All parts are degreased;
• After degreasing is completed, pickling passivation is carried out, and the cleaning agent does not contain phosphorus;
• Rinse with pure water after pickling and purification, and there should be no residues of medicament, and this step is omitted for carbon steel parts;
• Dry the parts one by one with a non-woven cloth, and do not leave the surface of the parts such as wire wool or dry with clean nitrogen;
• Use non-woven fabric or precision filter paper dipped in analytical pure alcohol to wipe each part until there is no dirty color.

Valve assembly requirements:

The cleaned parts must be sealed and stored for installation. The requirements for the installation process are as follows:

•  The installation workshop must be clean, or set up a temporary clean area, such as newly purchased color striped cloth or plastic film, to prevent dust from entering during the installation process.

4. Then seal it with a vacuum bag.
5. Final packing.
6. Measures must be taken to ensure that the package is not damaged during transportation.
