Introduction to the applicable occasions of butterfly valve

September 24, 2021

Butterfly valve is one of the most commonly used valves in piping systems. It has a wide range of applications. It can not only be used to cut off the flowing medium in the pipeline, but also can be used for flow adjustment. When the

Fluorine lined butterfly valve-PTFE-WAFER (10)

fluid in the pipeline passes through the butterfly valve, the pressure loss is about 3 times that of the gate valve, and the pressure loss is relatively large. Therefore, two factors should be considered when choosing a butterfly valve. One is the pressure loss experienced by the piping system, and the other is the pressure of the pipeline medium and the working temperature that the elastic valve seat material can withstand when the butterfly valve is closed.
The structural length of the butterfly valve is short, the overall height is also small, the operating torque is short, it can be opened and closed quickly, and fluid control can be performed well. The structural principle of the butterfly valve makes it most suitable for making large-diameter valves. When the butterfly valve is required to be used for flow control, in order to make it work more effectively, it is necessary to select the correct size and type of the butterfly valve.

What are the characteristics of the hard seal butterfly valve

September 22, 2021

Hard seal butterfly valve is a kind of butterfly valve with eccentric metal seal structure, and it is usually required to be installed horizontally in the pipeline. The sealing form of the metal hard seal butterfly valve is usually a metal-to-metal seal, and the sealing pair is composed of a metal hard material to a metal hard material. Hard-sealed butterfly valves can be driven by turbine manual, electric, pneumatic and so on.

triple offset butterfly valve-double flange- (5)

Nowadays, hard-sealed butterfly valves have been widely used in many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, power generation, etc., to cut off or control the circulating medium in the pipeline system. At this stage, there is a relatively advanced hard-sealed butterfly valve, which is a triple-eccentric metal seated butterfly valve. Its body and seat are a conjoined component. On the sealing surface layer of the valve seat, a temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy material is surfacing welded. , And fix the multi-layer soft stacked sealing ring on the valve plate. The novel design allows the triple eccentric butterfly valve to overcome the shortcomings of poor sealing performance. The advantages of the triple eccentric butterfly valve are high temperature resistance, low friction when opening and closing, and when closed, the butterfly plate compensates for the seal along with the increase of the torque of the transmission mechanism, which greatly improves the sealing performance of the hard seal butterfly valve and prolongs the service life of the valve.

The advantages of the triple eccentric hard seal butterfly valve are:
1. The unique three-eccentric design enables frictionless transmission between the butterfly plate and the sealing surface of the valve body, reducing wear and extending the service life.
2. It can adapt well to low temperature, normal temperature and high temperature environment.
3. Pneumatic and electric devices can be configured according to the needs of users to meet the needs of remote control and program control.

The shortcomings of the triple eccentric hard seal butterfly valve are:
1. The butterfly plate of the hard sealing butterfly valve is fixed by multiple layers of soft and hard stacked sealing rings. When the butterfly plate is in the normally open state, the flowing medium will flush the sealing surface positively, which will affect the sealing performance of the valve over time.
2. Because the overall structure of the hard-sealed butterfly valve’s butterfly plate is too thick and the flow resistance is relatively large, the valve is not suitable for diameters below DN200.

What are the characteristics of the soft sealing butterfly valve

September 18, 2021

Risilient seated /Soft sealing butterfly valve is one of the common butterfly valve types. It is a valve with simple structure and easy operation. It is mainly composed of valve body, valve stem, butterfly plate and sealing ring. The inside of the valve body is a cylindrical shape with a built-in butterfly plate. There are usually two ways to form the seal of a soft-seal butterfly valve. One is that the sealing pair is composed of a non-metallic soft material to a non-metallic soft material. Another is that the sealing pair is composed of a metal hard material to a non-metal soft

wafer type butterfly valve, EPDM seat (10)

material.
The most commonly used materials for the seat ring and seat of soft-sealed butterfly valves are EPDM, nitrile rubber, and polytetrafluoroethylene plastic. The soft-sealed butterfly valve with EPDM rubber seat material usually works in a working environment with a pressure less than 2.5Mpa and a temperature of -50~80℃. Applicable media include salts, acids, metal coating solutions, and water. , Wet chlorine, etc. The soft-sealed butterfly valve with nitrile rubber as the seat material usually works in a working environment with a pressure less than 2.5Mpa and a temperature of -10~90℃. The applicable media include water, oil, waste liquid, etc. The soft-sealed butterfly valve with polytetrafluoroethylene as the seat material can be used in an environment where the pressure is less than or equal to 1.6Mpa and the temperature is -196~200℃. The applicable media include heat resistance, cold resistance, general chemicals and solvents, and most of the liquid.
The advantage of the soft sealing butterfly valve is that it has good sealing performance and can achieve zero leakage. The disadvantage is that it is not resistant to high temperature and high pressure, and the sealing surface is easily eroded by the flowing medium, and the service life is short. The characteristics of the soft sealing butterfly valve are as follows:
1. The valve body is small and light, easy to install, disassemble and repair, and can be installed at any position in the pipeline.
2. The whole valve has a simple structure and is very compact, with small operating torque, and can be opened and closed by rotating 90 degrees.

The difference between fluorine-lined butterfly valve and metal butterfly valve

September 17, 2021

Butterfly valve is one of the most commonly used valves in industrial pipelines. It has a simple structure and is mainly composed of a valve body, a valve stem, a butterfly plate and a sealing ring. It is easy to operate and can be equipped with different driving devices, such as turbine devices, electric devices, and pneumatics. Equipment, etc., to adapt to more working conditions. Compared with other valves of the same caliber, the overall cost of butterfly valves can be reduced by 1.5 to 2 times, which is economical and practical. Therefore, butterfly valves are most suitable for large-diameter valves and are often used in occasions with larger calibers and flow rates.

According to the sealing form of the butterfly valve, we can divide the butterfly valve into two categories: soft sealing butterfly valve and hard sealing butterfly valve. The two butterfly valves with different sealing forms play different roles in the corresponding application pipelines, and it can even be said that there are big differences. Therefore, users should understand the difference between the two types of butterfly valves when choosing butterfly valves, and choose butterfly valve products reasonably and correctly according to their own operating conditions.
Among soft seal butterfly valves and hard seal butterfly valves, our most common and commonly used ones are soft seal fluorine lined butterfly valves and metal seated butterfly valves. The difference between fluorine lined butterfly valves and metal seal butterfly valves is that fluorine lined butterfly valves are generally used for flowing media containing corrosion. In the flexible pipeline, the sealing effect is excellent, and zero leakage can be achieved. However, due to its own material limitation, this type of butterfly valve is only suitable for use in normal temperature and pressure

triple offset butterfly valve-double flange- (4)

conditions. The metal-sealed butterfly valve can be used in working conditions with relatively high temperature and pressure, and it also has certain anti-corrosion performance, but its sealing performance is poor. Specifically, the difference between fluorine-lined butterfly valve and metal sealing butterfly valve is as follows:
1. The difference in structure:
Both sides of the metal seal butterfly valve seal pair are made of metal materials. As for the fluorine-lined butterfly valve of soft sealing butterfly valve, the butterfly plate and valve seat are both wrapped with PTFE;
2. The difference in sealing performance:
The sealing material of fluorine-lined butterfly valve is tetrafluoroplastic, which has excellent sealing performance, but it is prone to aging, abrasion and short service life. The sealing performance of the metal sealing butterfly valve is relatively poor, but it is corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant and has a long service life.
3. The difference in applicable working conditions:
The fluorine-lined butterfly valve has strong corrosion resistance and can be used in corrosive media pipelines. It is only suitable for normal temperature and pressure environments. The metal sealing butterfly valve has poor sealing performance and is generally used in high temperature and high pressure environments.
4. The difference in manufacturing process:
In terms of working principle, the difference between fluorine-lined butterfly valve and metal-sealed butterfly valve is not big. The difference in manufacturing process between the two is mainly in the valve seat. The seat material of the fluorine-lined butterfly valve is non-metallic PTFE and metal-sealed butterfly valve. The valve seat is made of metal materials, and the commonly used materials are copper alloy, chromium stainless steel, stellite alloy, nickel-based alloy and so on.

Precautions for debugging and installation of butterfly valves

September 16, 2021

Butterfly valve is one of the fastest-growing valve varieties at present. The application range of butterfly valves is very wide, and the varieties and specifications continue to expand, and they are developing in the direction of high pressure, large diameter, high sealing, long life, ultra-low temperature, and ultra-high temperature. Butterfly valves can do Emergency cutoff has the characteristic of regulating flow. And it has partially replaced gate valves, globe valves and ball valves, and has become more and more important in pipelines, and its applications have become

D943H-16C-metal seated stainless steel electric triple offset butterfly valve

more and more extensive, becoming the choice of many end users. This article talks about the debugging and installation of the butterfly valve.
1. Debugging of butterfly valve
1. Whether it is a manual butterfly valve or a butterfly valve with pneumatic, hydraulic or electric actuators, it must be strictly debugged before leaving the factory. Fix it, then close the butterfly valve, apply pressure to the inlet side, and then observe whether the valve leaks on the outlet side. In the strength test of the pipeline, the butterfly plate of the butterfly valve should be opened to prevent damage to the sealing pair.
2. Although the butterfly valve has been rigorously debugged before leaving the factory, it is not ruled out that some products have loosened screws during transportation. The user needs to re-check and adjust the valve after receiving the valve. Pneumatic, hydraulic and For electric devices, please refer to the instruction manual of the supporting drive device.
3. When the electric butterfly valve leaves the factory, the opening and closing strokes of the electric control mechanism have been adjusted. But to be safe, to prevent the wrong direction when the power is turned on, after the user gets the valve and turns on the power for the first time, first manually open the valve to the half-open position, and then press the electric switch to check whether the direction of the indicator plate is consistent with the closing direction of the valve That’s it.
Second, the installation of the butterfly valve
1. Before the butterfly valve is installed, it is necessary to confirm whether the performance of the product and the arrow of the medium flow direction are consistent with the working conditions and parameters of the medium in the pipeline. The inner cavity of the valve must be clean. Never close the butterfly plate before cleaning, so as not to damage the sealing ring.
2. To install the matching flange of the butterfly valve to the clip, a special flange for the butterfly valve is required.
3. The best installation position of the butterfly valve on the pipeline is vertical installation, and inverted installation is not allowed.
4. When the butterfly valve needs to be used to adjust the flow, use the turbine box for control.
5. For butterfly valves that are frequently opened and closed, it is necessary to open the turbine box cover regularly (about two months) to check whether the butter is normal, and to ensure an appropriate amount of butter.
6. Regularly check all parts of the valve, and promptly remove any faults found.

Features of Stainless Steel Valves

September 15, 2021

Generally speaking, stainless steel valves are valves made of stainless steel. They are classified according to the stainless steel material grade of the valve body. They are mainly 301, 304, 316, 304L, 316L, etc. According to international standards, they can be divided into CF8, CF3, CF8M, CF3M, the quality of the material

D673H-16C-stainless steel pneumatic triple eccentric butterfly valve

CF8<CF3<CF8M<CF3M. Because stainless steel has strong corrosion resistance, is easy to form, has high compatibility, and can remain strong in a wide temperature range, many advantages make stainless steel valves widely used in heavy industry, light industry, daily necessities industry and architectural decoration industry. middle.
Stainless steel refers to steel that is resistant to corrosion by weak corrosive media such as air, steam, water and chemical corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and salts. It is also called stainless acid-resistant steel. Stainless steel valves are also stainless acid-resistant steel valves. , And resistant to acid and alkali corrosion. Research tests have shown that the corrosion resistance of steel in weak media such as the atmosphere and water and oxidizing media such as nitric acid will increase with the increase of the chromium water content in the steel. When the chromium content reaches a certain percentage, the corrosion resistance of steel The sex changes, that is, from easy to rust to not easy to rust, from no corrosion resistance to corrosion resistance.
Common stainless steel valves mainly include stainless steel butterfly valves and stainless steel ball valves. The gate valve is rarely made of stainless steel, because the gate valve is usually used for low corrosive media such as water.
Stainless steel butterfly valve, also known as stainless steel flap valve, usually adopts three-eccentric metal hard sealing structure. The valve body, valve seat and butterfly plate sealing surface are all made of stainless steel with different hardness, which has strong corrosion resistance and long service life. It is widely used in metallurgical, electric power, petrochemical, water supply and drainage, municipal construction and other industrial pipelines with fluid pipeline medium temperature ≤ 425°C.
Stainless steel ball valves usually require horizontal installation in the pipeline. Stainless steel ball valves can be divided into stainless steel pneumatic ball valves, stainless steel electric ball valves, and stainless steel manual ball valves according to the driving mode. According to different stainless steel materials, it is divided into 304, 316, 321 stainless steel ball valves. The stainless steel ball valve switch is light and can also be made into a large diameter. It has reliable sealing, simple structure and convenient maintenance. The sealing surface and spherical surface are often in a closed state and are not easily eroded by the medium. It has applications in various industries.

Maintenance Methods of Common Valves

September 14, 2021

Common valve failures include leakage, opening and closing parts damage and failure, etc. One of the most important reasons for the valve failure problem is that the valve is not well maintained. The valve is an important part of the pipeline transportation system. Maintenance and maintenance can make the valve better serve us. At the same time, it can also prevent valve failure from the source and reduce production accidents caused by valve failure. Therefore, this article will talk about the maintenance methods of commonly used valves.

marine valve; butterfly valve; check valve; gate valve; manufacturer in China

1. For valves that are not in use for a long time, they must be cleaned regularly to remove dirt and dust on the exposed surface of the valve, and at the same time, they must be sealed to ensure that the inside of the valve is clean and dry. Store the valve neatly in a ventilated and dry place indoors, and it is strictly forbidden to stack it or store it in the open air. When storing, the butterfly valve is the easiest to store, just keep the butterfly plate in the closed state. For gate valves, globe valves and check valves, both ends of the passage should be blocked during storage, and the valve plate should be closed. The storage of the ball valve requires that both ends are blocked and in an open state.
2. Before installing the valve, you need to check the pressure and diameter of the valve again, and clean up the dirt on the valve during transportation.
3. When installing the valve, install the valve correctly according to the connection method of the valve. Generally, the commonly used valves can be installed at any position in the pipeline, but it is necessary to consider whether the operation of the operator is convenient after installation and whether it is convenient for future valve maintenance .
4. When the gate valve and ball valve are working, they are only used for fully open and fully closed. They cannot be used for flow adjustment, otherwise the sealing surface will be severely washed and corroded, and the opening and closing parts of the valve will be greatly worn.
5. When the handle valve and handwheel valve are opened or closed, levers, wrenches or other tools cannot be used to avoid damage to the valves.
6. Tighten the bolts on the valve packing gland evenly. Don’t beat the gland to make the gland tilt, which will damage or hinder the movement of the valve stem and cause valve leakage.
7. During use, the valve should be maintained regularly to keep the valve clean, and the transmission part should be regularly lubricated. Once the valve is found to be malfunctioning, it must be stopped immediately to find out the cause of the malfunction and clean up the malfunction.

What is the difference between butterfly valve and ball valve

September 13, 2021

What is the difference between butterfly valve and ball valve? The butterfly valve has a simple structure and a wider application range. The ball valve is only suitable for fluid medium pipelines without particulate impurities; the ball valve has better sealing performance and higher cost. In one sentence, the difference between butterfly valves and

lug type butterfly valve, ductile iron, center lined,

ball valves in use is that small-diameter ball valves are selected, and large-diameter butterfly valves are used.
Under normal circumstances, it is more cost-effective to choose threaded ball valves for small diameters below DN50, while ball valves above DN50 are generally flanged. Because of the processing technology and materials, the price is more expensive.
The sealing performance of the ball valve and its own flow characteristics make it widely used in the paper industry, natural gas industry and high-pressure fields.
Butterfly valves are usually used in large diameter occasions above DN50. Compared with ball valves, butterfly valves have simpler structure and relatively low price. They are generally used in working conditions below PN16. Of course, the applicable pressure of metal-sealed eccentric butterfly valves can reach PN40. . However, the sealing performance of butterfly valves is worse than that of ball valves.

pneumatic V type ball valve

The biggest difference between a butterfly valve and a ball valve is that the opening and closing part of the butterfly valve is a disc-shaped butterfly plate, and the opening and closing part of the ball valve is a round sphere. The opening and closing methods of the two are the same. The butterfly plate of the butterfly valve and the spool sphere of the ball valve rotate around the axis of the valve stem to realize the opening and closing of the valve. The sealing surfaces of butterfly valves and ball valves are also different. The seat sealing surface of butterfly valves is an annular cylinder, while the seat sealing surface of ball valves is spherical.
The butterfly valve is characterized by very fast opening and closing, very simple structure, relatively low cost, and suitable for large-diameter valves. The disadvantage is that the sealing performance and pressure-bearing capacity are poor. The ball valve has good sealing performance and is suitable for fluid media without particles and impurities, with strong pressure resistance and low pressure loss. The disadvantage is that the cost is high, the price is expensive, and limited by its own volume and opening and closing resistance, it cannot be made large.

Design Features of Electric Gate Valve

September 9, 2021

An electric gate valve is a gate valve that uses an electric actuator to control the opening and closing of the valve. Its structure can be divided into upper and lower parts, the upper part is the electric actuator, and the lower part is the gate valve body. Connect the electric actuator and the gate valve, after installation and debugging, it becomes an electric gate valve. The electric gate valve uses electric energy to realize the opening and closing of the valve, so as to control the interception and circulation of the pipeline medium.

DN1000-DIN-F5-NRS gate valve-IS&Y (6)

The switching speed of the electric gate valve can be adjusted, the structure is relatively simple, and the maintenance is easier. Its design structure also has its own characteristics.
1. The electric gate valve adopts pressure self-tightening seal, which has excellent sealing performance and is reliable and safe to use.
2. The electric gate valve adopts a double gate with a universal roof structure in the middle, which can automatically adjust the degree of sealing between the gate and the valve seat to ensure the sealing performance of the valve. At the same time, this structure is very convenient to maintain and save costs.
3. The sealing surface of the gate and the valve seat is made of cobalt-chromium-tungsten cemented carbide by plasma spray welding. The sealing surface has high hardness, and is very wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, which prolongs the service life of the valve.
4. The valve stem is made of nitrided steel, and the surface is nitrided, which has high hardness, good performance and long life.
5. The electric device of the electric gate valve is equipped with a torque control mechanism, an on-site operating mechanism and a hand and electric switching mechanism. It can also carry out remote operation and intelligent control. It is suitable for use in situations where manual operation is difficult or the pipeline environment is complex and dangerous.
6. When the electric gate valve is used for the first time, during installation and debugging, it is necessary to manually open the valve to about half of the position, so as to avoid the valve or electrical equipment damage due to the reverse connection of the motor phase sequence.
