Working principle and characteristics of triple eccentric butterfly valve

August 9, 2021

Triple eccentric butterfly valve, also named triple offset butterfly valve.

Nowadays, butterfly valves have been used in many industries. In the beginning, the butterfly valve was only used for the interception and communication of water media. The triple eccentric design enhances the function of the butterfly valve and has become one of the valves with excellent performance in industrial industrial pipeline equipment. The triple eccentric butterfly valve, as the name implies, is that three independent offsets are designed as valves. In reality, many people do not know which one is a triple-eccentric butterfly valve because of insufficient cognition. In this article, let’s talk about the working principle and characteristics of the triple-eccentric butterfly valve.

triple offset butterfly valve-double flange- (5)

The working principle of the triple eccentric butterfly valve is that the valve body of the butterfly valve has a horizontal valve port connected to the pipeline in structure, and the valve port has a valve plate. The shaft is perpendicular to the valve port and penetrates the valve body and the valve plate. The edge of the valve plate is provided with an outer spherical surface, and the valve port is provided with a sealing surface that can be matched with the outer spherical surface. When the sealing surface and the outer spherical surface are matched and sealed, there is an eccentric distance a between the sealing line and the axis of the shaft, which is in the transverse center of the valve plate. The line is the eccentricity b between the center line of the valve port and the center line of the shaft, and there is an angle β between the connection line of the outer spherical surface and the center line of the valve port. This is the principle of the triple eccentric butterfly valve.
The triple eccentric butterfly valve cleverly puts the triple eccentricity on the valve plate, and adopts a partial outer spherical structure on the outer edge of the valve plate. This structure needs to be completed on a CNC machine with a self-designed simple fixture. The outer eccentric spherical surface is polished to reach a roughness of Ra0.4, the spherical surface is chrome-plated or made of Stellite alloy, and the hardness reaches HRC45-60.
Put the eccentric angle on the valve plate, and press the valve seat on the valve body with a pressing ring, which solves the difficulties encountered in the processing of ordinary triple eccentric butterfly valves. The valve body, valve plate and valve seat cannot be exchanged for pairing. Repair after damage A series of problems such as high cost, all parts are modularized, warehouse management is simple, processing is simple, maintenance is convenient, and the cost of spare parts is reduced.
The butterfly valve is suitable for making large-diameter valves. It can be widely used in the cutting of petroleum transportation pipelines, metallurgical steel plants, gas main pipeline adjustment and cutting, chemical smelting equipment medium adjustment and cutting, water treatment equipment inlet and outlet adjustment and shutdown, and cooling water in thermal power stations. System, natural gas, lye, sea water, acid and other industries.

The characteristics of the triple eccentric butterfly valve are as follows:
1. Simple structure, light weight, composed of only a few parts. easy to use.
2. After the valve plate is fully opened, the thickness of the butterfly plate is the only resistance for the medium to pass through the valve body. The pressure is small and the flow can be better controlled.
3. When the valve plate is closed, the specific pressure between the outer spherical surface of the valve plate and the sealing surface of the valve seat is generated by the driving torque applied to the shaft. Coupled with the elastic compensation of the M-type elastic valve seat, the sealing performance of the valve can be enhanced, and the service life is greatly improved.

How to choose a valve in the chemical industry

August 5, 2021

The media transported in various pipelines in the chemical industry are usually corrosive, such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and other corrosive media. All corrosion protection is the most basic requirement of chemical equipment. Chemical valves are of course no exception, and the selection of valve materials must be corrosion-resistant. If the chemical valve is wrongly selected, it will damage the equipment at the slightest level, or cause serious accidents, causing injury to machinery, equipment and even people. However, for different corrosive media, the selection of valves is also different. This article will talk about the key points of valve material selection for some common chemical media:

lug type butterfly valve, ductile iron, center lined,

Hydrochloric acid: Most metal materials, including various stainless steel materials, are not resistant to hydrochloric acid corrosion, and high-silicon ferro-molybdenum can only be used in hydrochloric acid below 50°C and 30%. Contrary to metal materials, most non-metal materials have good corrosion resistance to hydrochloric acid, so rubber-lined valves (such as fluoroplastics, etc.) are the best choice for transporting hydrochloric acid. But if the temperature of the medium exceeds 150°C, or the pressure is greater than 16 kg, any plastics (including fluoroplastics and even polytetrafluoroethylene) will be difficult to handle. For hydrochloric acid exceeding this condition, there is no ideal valve currently on the market.

Sulfuric acid: As one of the strong corrosive media, sulfuric acid is an important industrial raw material with a wide range of uses. Different concentrations and temperatures of sulfuric acid have great differences in the corrosion of materials. For concentrated sulfuric acid with a concentration of more than 80% and a temperature of less than 80°C, carbon steel and cast iron have good corrosion resistance, but it is not suitable for high-speed flowing sulfuric acid. Not suitable for use as a valve material; ordinary stainless steels such as 304 and 316 have limited use for sulfuric acid media. Therefore, pump valves for transporting sulfuric acid are usually made of high-silicon cast iron (difficult to cast and process) and high-alloy stainless steel (20 alloy valve). Fluoroplastics have better resistance to sulfuric acid, and fluorine-lined valves (recommended by Tanghai Valves) are a more economical choice. If the pressure is too high and the temperature rises, the point of use of the plastic valve will be impacted, and you can only choose the more expensive ceramic ball valve.

Nitric acid: Most metals are rapidly corroded and destroyed in nitric acid. Stainless steel is the most widely used nitric acid resistant material. It has good corrosion resistance to all concentrations of nitric acid at room temperature. Note that stainless steel containing molybdenum (such as 316, The corrosion resistance of 316L) to nitric acid is not better than that of ordinary stainless steel (such as 304, 321), and sometimes even worse.

Acetic acid: Acetic acid is one of the most corrosive substances in organic acids. Ordinary steel will be severely corroded in acetic acid at all concentrations and temperatures. Stainless steel is an excellent acetic acid resistant material. 316 stainless steel containing molybdenum is also suitable for high temperature and rarefied materials. Acetic acid vapor. For demanding requirements such as high temperature and high concentration of acetic acid or other corrosive media, high alloy stainless steel or fluoroplastic pumps can be used.

Salt water/sea water: The corrosion rate of ordinary steel in sodium chloride solution, sea water and salt water is not very high, and generally must be protected by paint; all kinds of stainless steel also have a very low uniform corrosion rate, but may cause local corrosion due to chloride ions. It is usually better to use 316 stainless steel.

Gate valve structure diagram and working principle

August 4, 2021

Gate valve structure; Working principle of gate valve
Gate valve /stop valve structure:
The gate valve refers to a valve in which the gate closing member moves along the vertical direction of the center line

rising stem gate valve-open and closed position

of the passage. Generally, it consists of valve body, valve seat, valve stem, gate, valve cover, and sealing ring. It can be transformed into a variety of electric gate valves and pneumatic gate valves by equipping transmission devices and gate valves. It is used for full-open and full-close cut-off, and cannot be used for adjustment and throttling. ,
Gate valve structure diagram Gate valve working principle:
The gate of the gate valve moves linearly with the valve stem. Usually there is a trapezoidal thread on the lifting rod. Through the nut on the top of the valve and the guide groove on the valve body, the rotary motion is changed into linear motion, that is, the operating torque is changed. For operating thrust. When the gate valve is closed, the sealing surface can only rely on the medium pressure to seal, that is, rely on the medium pressure to press the sealing surface of the gate to the valve seat on the other side to ensure the sealing of the sealing surface, which is self-sealing. Most gate valves adopt forced sealing, that is, when the valve is closed, the gate must be forced against the seat by external force to ensure the sealing performance of the sealing surface.

gate valve working diagram-3D GIF animated presentation

When the gate valve is opened, when the lift height of the gate is equal to 1:1 times the valve diameter, the fluid passage is completely unblocked, but this position cannot be monitored during operation. In actual use, the apex of the valve stem is used as the mark, that is, the unmovable position, as its fully open position. In order to take into account the lock-up phenomenon caused by temperature changes, it is usually opened to the top position, and then rewind 1/2-1 circle, as the position of the fully open valve. Therefore, the fully open position of the valve is determined by the position of the gate (ie stroke).

structures and differences of Non-rising stem(NRS) gate valve and rising stem(RS) gate valve
RS gate valve structure picture, NRS gate valve structure picture

non-rising stem gate valve-open and close position

RS gate valve and NRS gate valve are different from the transmission mode. RS gate valve is a handwheel that drives a nut to rotate in place, and the stem is linearly raised and lowered to complete the switch; NRS gate valve is a handwheel that drives the stem to rotate, and there are threads in the gate. Nut) to move up and down to complete

the switch.
Structural principle of gate valve:
1. NRS gate valve structure: The stem nut is in the valve body and is in direct contact with the medium. When opening and closing the gate, it is realized by rotating the valve stem.
2. RS gate valve structure: the stem nut is on the bonnet or bracket. When opening and closing the gate, the stem nut is rotated to realize the lifting of the stem.

DIN-F4-BB-NRS-soft seated-wedge gate valve-DN100-PN16-copper holding ring-handwheel (3)

The difference between RS gate valve and NRS gate valve:
1. RS gate valve can see the screw, but NRS can not see the screw;
2. The RS gate valve raises or lowers the disc through the threaded transmission of the valve stem and the steering wheel; when the NRS gate valve is switched on and off, the steering wheel and the valve stem are connected and relatively immobile. It drives the valve through the rotation of the valve stem at a fixed point. The flap is lifted up and down to complete the opening and closing;
3. The transmission thread of the NRS gate valve is located inside the valve body. During the opening and closing process, the valve stem only rotates, and the gate is raised and lowered in the valve body; the valve stem of the RS gate valve drives the gate to rise and fall together, and the drive thread on the valve stem Outside the valve body, the opening and closing and position of the gate can be intuitively judged according to the movement direction and position of the valve stem;

rising stem gate valve-RS-BB OS&Y (3)

4. The height of the NRS gate valve is small; the RS gate valve requires a larger installation space;
5. The structure of the RS gate valve is beneficial to the lubrication of the valve stem, and the degree of opening and closing is obvious; the thread of the valve stem of the NRS gate valve is not only unable to be lubricated, but it is directly corroded by the medium and is easily damaged. Therefore, the RS gate valve is more widely used.

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

According to different connection methods, electric butterfly valves can generally be divided into the most common electric wafer butterfly valves and electric flange butterfly valves. The sealing materials include soft seal (normal temperature and pressure) and hard seal (high temperature and high pressure). The working power supply usually includes: AC220V, AC380V, DC24V, the input signal has 4~20mA 0~10v and other weak current signals. Finally, according to the control form, it is divided into switch type and regulation type. The switch type functions as a switch; the regulation type is used to adjust the flow rate, which can be accurate Adjusting the flow rate to thousand divisions is also a relatively expensive valve.
Working principle of electric butterfly valve:
The electric butterfly valve uses electric energy as the driving force, and the valve stem is driven by the electric device to make the butterfly plate produce a 90° rotation to achieve the opening and closing of the valve. It can also receive 4-20mA or other signals from the industrial automation control system to accurately control the valve opening. , So as to achieve the adjustment and control of different process parameters such as flow, temperature and pressure.

electric wafer butterfly valve vs electric flange butterfly valve

July 27, 2021

The difference and selection of electric wafer butterfly valve and electric flange butterfly valve
As one of the most common valves in pipelines, electric butterfly valves are used to realize the on-off and flow control of various media in the pipeline system. They have been widely used in many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, and hydropower. application. Then in the commonly used electric butterfly valve, it can be

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

divided into two kinds, electric wafer butterfly valve and electric flange butterfly valve, and these two kinds of valves have their own characteristics, and they are not the same in performance. They can be used in Different industries.

For these two kinds of valves, in addition to the different structural forms, if they are under the same parameters, the biggest difference is that the connection method is different, that is, the installation form is different, which depends on the site working conditions!

The difference between electric wafer butterfly valve and electric flange butterfly valve:
The thickness of the electric wafer butterfly valve is relatively thin compared to the flanged butterfly valve. There are no flanges at both ends of the valve body, but only a few guide bolt holes. The valve uses a set of bolts/nuts to connect with the flange of the pipe end, which is generally applicable. It is used in places where the space is relatively narrow or the pipeline is restricted. The advantage is that it is more convenient to disassemble, the valve cost is lower, and the space is small, but the disadvantage is that one sealing surface has a problem, and both sealing surfaces have to be disassembled!
Electric flange butterfly valve has flanges at both ends of the valve body, which are connected with pipeline flanges. Compared with wafer butterfly valves, the sealing performance is more reliable. It is generally used in places with larger diameters or higher pressures, but the cost is relatively good.

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

Choice between the two:
However, there are still some things to pay attention to in the design. For example, wafer type valve bolts are generally relatively long. Under high temperature conditions, the expansion of the bolts may cause leakage, so it is not suitable for large pipe diameters under high temperature conditions. . Another example is the wafer butterfly valve generally cannot be used in the end of the pipeline and downstream needs to be disassembled, because when the downstream flange is removed, the wafer valve will fall off, in this case, it must be shortened separately. The flange type butterfly valve does not have the above problems, but the cost will be higher.
