Description and classification of valve connection

September 15, 2020

Classification and description of valve connection methods: Nowadays, the application range of valves is wider and

double flange butterfly valve body

wider, and corresponding valves should be used in different environments. The connection between the entire valve and the pipeline or equipment is different. Regardless of installation, use and maintenance, attention should be paid to the improper connection of the valve, which may cause the valve to run, leak, drip, and leak. Therefore, valve users should be treated in accordance with the situation of the user.
There are many types of valve connection. Common valve connection methods are: flange connection, butt connection, butt welding connection, thread connection, ferrule connection, clamp connection, self-sealing connection and other connection forms. This article will focus on the most common flange connection, butt welding connection and threaded connection in the installation process easy to explain the problems, I hope to help everyone.

Threaded valve: A simple connection method, often used for small valves. This connection is usually made by processing the valve inlet and outlet ends into tapered pipes or straight pipe threads, which can be connected to tapered pipe threaded joints or pipelines. Since this connection may have large leakage channels, sealants, sealing tape or fillers can be used to plug these channels. If the material of the valve body can be welded, but the expansion coefficient is very different, or the working temperature has a large range of variation, the threaded connection must be honey sealed. Threaded valves are mainly valves whose nominal diameter is below 50mm. If the diameter size is too large, the installation and sealing of the connection part will be very difficult. In order to facilitate the installation and removal of threaded valves, pipe joints can be used at appropriate positions in the pipeline system. Valves with a nominal diameter below 50mm can use pipe sockets as pipe joints, and the thread of the pipe socket connects the two connected parts together. …
Flanged valve: Flanged valve, the most used connection form among valves. Its installation and disassembly are relatively convenient. But it is heavier than the threaded valve, and the corresponding price is higher. Therefore, it is suitable for pipe connections of various diameters and pressures. However, when the temperature exceeds 350 degrees, the bolts, gaskets and flanges become loose, and the load of the bolts is significantly reduced, which may cause leakage to the flange connection with a large force.
Welded valve This connection is suitable for various pressures and temperatures, and is more reliable than flanged connections when used under heavy load conditions. However, it is difficult to disassemble and reinstall the valve connected by welding, so its use is limited to the occasions that usually can operate reliably for a long time, or where the use conditions are heavy and the temperature is high. Such as the pipelines of thermal power stations, nuclear power projects, and ethylene projects. Welded valves with a nominal diameter of less than 50mm usually have welding sockets to accept the pipeline at the end of the load. Since socket welding forms a gap between the socket and the pipe, it is possible that the gap will be corroded by some media. At the same time, the vibration of the pipe will fatigue the connection part, so the use of socket welding is limited. In the occasions where the nominal diameter is large, the use conditions are heavy, and the temperature is high, the valve body is often welded with grooves. At the same time, there are original requirements for the welding seam, and a skilled welder must be selected to complete this work.

Raised face flange and concave and convex face flange

September 14, 2020

Flange is used for the connection between two devices. The abbreviation refers to the form of the sealing surface. There are holes on it. The two flanges are connected by bolts. It is generally used for The mutual connection between

flanges

the shaft and the shaft is also used for the connection between the pipe ends; it is a detachable connection of a set of combined sealing structures that are connected by flanges, gaskets and bolts. The thickness of flanges with different pressures is different, and their use forms are also different.

Commonly used butterfly valves include wafer butterfly valves and flange butterfly valves. Wafer type butterfly valve uses double-head bolts to connect the valve between two pipe flanges. Flange type butterfly valve has flanges on the valve, and the two ends of the valve are flanged to the pipe flanges with bolts.
For the most common raised face flanges and concave and convex face flanges, in the flange connection, the raised face flange needs to be matched with the concave face flange, commonly known as one male and one female, and the raised face flange should be matched with the raised face flange. Generally speaking, raised face flanges should also be a kind of flat flanges, code-named RF, and the RF face can only be linked with the RF face. The code name of the raised face flange is M, and the M face flange needs to be connected with the FM face. One is female FM (Female Male), and the other is male M (Male). The pressure on the M/FM side is better than that on the RF side. Raised face flanges and raised face flanges are used in pairs, and the code name is RF. The comparison chart of the two is as follows:

RF, MFM flanges

The angle between the sealing surface of the raised face flange and the flange bolt connection surface is 45°, and the sealing surface of the concave and convex flange and the flange bolt connection surface are 90° angle, that is, the two sides are perpendicular .

Raised face flanges are more commonly used in the market, and generally there is no problem below 2.5MPa. Concave-convex flanges are more expensive and have better sealing effect, so the applicable pressure level is higher. When designing, it is more troublesome. For example, when you mention the equipment condition diagram, you must indicate what type of method it is. Lan, and then when the statistics take over the material, it is another matching flange.

Comparison table of valve diameter and medium flow rate

September 14, 2020

It is well known that the flow rate and flow rate of the valve mainly depend on the diameter of the valve, and also

ductile iron, DI, butterfly valve, manufacturer, center line, TH valve

related to the resistance of the valve structure to the medium. At the same time, it has a certain internal connection with various factors such as the valve pressure, temperature and medium concentration. The flow channel area of the valve has a direct relationship with the flow rate and flow rate, and the flow rate and flow rate are two mutually dependent quantities. When the flow rate is constant, the flow rate is large, the flow channel area can be smaller; the flow rate is small, the flow channel area can be larger. On the contrary, the flow channel area is large, its flow velocity is small; the flow channel area is small, its flow velocity is large.
1. The flow rate of the medium is large, and the valve diameter can be smaller, but the resistance loss is large and the valve is easily damaged. If the flow velocity is large, it will have electrostatic effect on flammable and explosive media, causing danger; the flow velocity is too small, the efficiency is low and it is not economical. For the medium with high viscosity and explosive, the flow rate should be smaller. The flow rate of oil and liquid with high viscosity is selected according to the viscosity, generally 0.1～2m/s.
2. In general, the flow rate is known, and the flow rate can be determined by experience. The nominal diameter of the valve can be calculated through the flow rate and flow rate.
3. The valve diameter is the same, its structure type is different, and the fluid resistance is also different. Under the same conditions, the larger the resistance coefficient of the valve, the more the flow rate and flow rate of the fluid through the valve will drop; the smaller the valve resistance coefficient, the less the flow rate and flow rate of the fluid through the valve will drop.
The common flow rates of various media are shown in the following table:

Note: The resistance coefficient of the above valve is the value when the valve is fully opened. The selection of valve diameter should take into account the machining accuracy and dimensional deviation of the valve, as well as other factors. The valve diameter should have a certain margin, generally 15%. In actual work, the valve diameter depends on the diameter of the process pipeline.

The matching function and principle of pneumatic valve accessories

September 14, 2020

Pneumatic valve is an actuator that uses compressed air to drive and operate the valve. Its opening and closing speed is relatively fast. It is often used for fast two-position cut-off and can also be used to adjust flow. Because it mainly relies on air to perform operations, so it has high practicability in flammable and explosive situations, and can be used to control gas, liquid, oil, and various corrosive media. However, there are many changes in the accessories in the pneumatic valve. With different accessories, various different control methods can not be achieved. The user can configure the corresponding valve according to the different work needs of the valve.

1. Pneumatic triplex is the most common accessory in pneumatic valves, and its function can be simply summarized

pneumatic valve structure

as: filtration + decompression + oil mist. Among them, the pressure reducing valve is a necessary accessory. The pneumatic valve of any function must be configured. Its function is to give the pneumatic valve a standard power source pressure, the standard value is 0.4-0.7MPa. The pressure reducing valve is a valve that reduces the inlet pressure to a certain required outlet pressure through adjustment, and relies on the energy of the medium itself to automatically maintain a stable outlet pressure. a. The role of the two-piece (filter, pressure reducing valve): complete the filtering and pressure-reducing function of the compressed instrument air b. The role of the three-piece (filter, pressure reducing valve, oil mist device): complete the function of the compressed instrument air Filtering and decompression function, and lubricate the air.

2. The pneumatic solenoid valve can also be called a directional control valve. For two-position valves that only need to be opened and closed, the solenoid valve is a necessary configuration. The solenoid valve achieves the on/off control of the pneumatic valve through excitation/demagnetization. Solenoid valves are often used to switch valves, and control the on and off of the air source and air circuit through voltage signals to control the opening and closing of the valve. Definition: A valve that uses an electromagnet to control the spool movement generally realizes the opening and closing of the valve by controlling the movement process of the pneumatic actuator.

3. The valve limit switch, also called the travel switch, can also be called the echo device. It is a field instrument for

Limit switch-valve

detecting valve status in the automatic control system. It is used to output the open or closed position of the valve as a switch (contact) signal, which is accepted by the program controller or the computer searches for sampling, and executes the next program after confirmation. The product can also be used for interlocking protection of important valves in the system and remote alarm indication. If you want to grasp the valve position status of the two-position valve, the valve limit switch is an effective configuration, which is an electrical switch used to indicate and feedback the limit position of the mechanical equipment.

4. Valve positioner, it is a necessary configuration for pneumatic control valves. The valve positioner can be used to control the position of the valve at any opening degree. It uses the valve stem displacement signal as the input feedback measurement signal and the controller output signal as the setting Signal, compare, when there is a deviation between the two, change its output signal to the actuator, make the actuator act, and establish a one-to-one correspondence between the valve stem displacement times and the controller output signal.
Note: If it is a regulating valve controlled by a safe condition, a solenoid valve must also be configured. The solenoid valve is used to force the valve to be in a safe valve position under unexpected conditions.

For large-capacity cylinder valves, in order to speed up the valve action, the pilot valve must also be configured. The role of the pilot valve is to drive the pilot valve with a small gas signal to switch the atmospheric pipeline, so that the cylinder valve has a better performance. There are many types of pilot valves for fast charging/discharging gas circuits, which should be selected according to the specific needs of pneumatic valves.

If the valve position to be mastered is a regulating valve, a valve opening transmitter must be installed, which can feed back the opening signal of the valve at any position. Due to the requirements of the equipment and technology, the valve may open normally, slowly close, or slowly open, and normally close, then a pneumatic damper is required. The damper is to control the amount of air flow through and adjust to achieve the required valve action speed.

The difference and application of stainless steel 430, 304, 316

September 14, 2020

Stainless steel 430, 304,316 are the material of valve body, valve stem/shaft, or valve disc/plate.

lug type butterfly valve body

430 ferritic stainless steel containing more than 12% chromium can prevent oxidation caused by natural factors. It is called stainless steel. It belongs to 430 ferritic stainless steel. It has low thermal expansion rate, excellent formability and oxidation resistance. The code name in JIS is 430, so it is also called 430 stainless steel.

Application of 430 ferritic stainless steel: 430 stainless steel (16Cr) is often used to make household appliances, heat-resistant appliances, burners, home appliances, class 2 tableware, kitchen sinks, exterior decoration materials, bolts, nuts, CD rods, screens .

The difference between 430 stainless steel and 304, 316 austenitic stainless steel: 430 stainless steel and 304, 316 austenitic stainless steel are identified by spectral analysis and chemical element analysis. Both 304 and 316 are austenitic stainless steels. 316 is made of 304 stainless steel with molybdenum added. Therefore, 316 stainless steel has much better seawater and rust resistance than 304.
The difference between 304, 316 and 430 lies in the rust resistance. In addition to chromium, 304 and 316 also contain elements such as nickel and molybdenum, and are non-magnetic. Therefore, the rust resistance of 304/316 austenitic stainless steel is better than 430 stainless steel is much better and the price is much higher. To

Can the 430 stainless steel magnet hold it? 304 and 316 are not magnetic and cannot be attracted by magnets. Generally, it does not generate heat in a high-voltage electromagnetic environment, so it is used more. Martensitic and 430 ferritic stainless steel, precipitation hardening stainless steel are magnetic, and magnets can attract them.

Will 430 stainless steel rust? 430 stainless steel cannot resist the oxidation caused by chemicals in the air. Because there are more and more acidic chemicals in the air, 430 stainless steel will still be oxidized (rusted) due to unnatural factors after being used for a period of time.

Which is better, 430 stainless steel or 304? 304 austenitic stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and no magnetism. Relatively speaking, austenitic stainless steel 304 is better than 430 ferritic stainless steel.

How expensive is 430 stainless steel compared to 304? Generally speaking, austenitic stainless steel 304 is twice as expensive as 430 stainless steel.

Principles of valve selection in the petroleum and chemical industry

September 14, 2020

Faced with so many valve classifications and such complex various working conditions, to choose the most suitable

lug type butterfly valve, ductile iron, center lined,

valve product for piping system installation, you should first understand the characteristics of the valve; secondly, you should master the steps and basis for selecting the valve; and then you should follow the choice of oil , The principle of valves used in the chemical industry. The principle of selecting valves in the petroleum and chemical industries: the flow path is a straight-through valve, and its flow resistance is small, and it is usually selected as a shut-off and open medium valve; a valve that is easy to adjust the flow is used as a control flow; a plug valve and a ball valve are more suitable Used for reversing and shunting; the sliding of the closing part along the sealing surface of the valve with wiping effect is most suitable for the medium with suspended particles.

1. Valves for shut-off and open media: The flow channel is a straight-through valve with low flow resistance. It is usually selected as a valve for shut-off and open media. The downward closing valve (stop valve, plunger valve) is less used because of its tortuous flow path and higher flow resistance than other valves. Where higher flow resistance is allowed, a closed valve can be used.

Globe valve (9)

2. Valves used for flow control: Generally, valves that are easy to adjust flow are selected as flow control valves. Downward closing valves (such as globe valves) are suitable for this purpose because the size of its seat is proportional to the stroke of the closing member. Rotary valves (plug valves, butterfly valves, ball valves) and flex-body valves (pinch valves, diaphragm valves) can also be used for throttling control, but they are usually only applicable in a limited range of valve diameters. The gate valve uses a disc-shaped gate to cross-cut the circular valve seat port. It can only control the flow better when it is close to the closed position, so it is usually not used for flow control. 3. Valves for reversing and shunting According to the needs of reversing and shunting, this kind of valve can have three or more channels. Plug valves and ball valves are more suitable for this purpose. Therefore, most of the valves used for reversing and splitting use one of the plug valves and ball valves. However, in some cases, other types of valves can also be used for reversing and shunting as long as two or more valves are properly connected to each other.

4. Valves for medium with suspended particles When there are suspended particles in the medium, it is most suitable for valves with a wiping effect on the sliding of the closing part along the sealing surface. If the back and forth movement of the closing member to the valve seat is vertical, it may hold particles. Therefore, unless the sealing surface material allows particles to be embedded, this valve is only suitable for basic clean media. Ball valves, plug valves, and butterfly valves have a wiping effect on the sealing surface during opening and closing, so they are suitable for use in media with suspended particles.

At present, no matter in the pipeline system of petroleum, chemical industry, or other industries, valve applications, operating frequencies and services are ever-changing. To control or eliminate even low-level leakage, the most important and critical equipment is still valves. The ultimate control of the pipeline is the valve. The service and reliable performance of the valve in various industries are unique.

Description of valve pressure& installation direction requirements

September 14, 2020

As the name implies, the pressure of the valve refers to the pressure that the valve can withstand, that is, the

pressure level of the valve is not lower than the design pressure level of the pipeline. The pressure-bearing direction refers to the closed state of the valve after the valve is applied to the pipeline conditions. The arrow direction of the valve body is the recommended pressure-bearing direction. If it is installed incorrectly, the leakage failure of the valve may not be tightly closed. Generally, it is determined according to the use process or usage conditions. The same direction refers to the pressure-bearing direction (the side with high medium pressure on both sides of the valve gate) and the flow direction, and the opposite direction refers to the pressure-bearing direction (both sides of the valve gate) The side with high medium pressure) is opposite to the flow direction of the medium.

Many valves are directional, such as stop valves, throttle valves, pressure reducing valves, check valves, etc. If they are installed upside down, they will affect the use effect and life (such as throttle valves), or they will not work at all (such as Pressure reducing valve), or even cause danger (such as check valve). Normal valves have direction signs on the valve body; if not, they should be correctly identified according to the working principle of the valve.

The arrow marked on the valve body is the recommended pressure direction of the valve, not the flow direction of the pipeline medium. Valves with two-way sealing function may not be marked with an indicating arrow, or with an arrow, because the valve arrow refers to the recommended pressure direction. It is better to have one direction in the left and right or up and down directions. Usually used by the engineering installation company as the medium flow direction to mark the wrong installation, resulting in leakage or even pipeline accidents;

The valve cavity of the shut-off valve is asymmetrical left and right. The fluid must pass through the valve port from bottom to top, so that the fluid resistance is small (determined by the shape), and the opening is labor-saving (because the medium pressure is upward), and the medium does not press the packing after closing, which is convenient for maintenance . This is the reason why the globe valve cannot be reversed. Other valves also have their own characteristics. The location of the valve installation must be convenient for operation; even if the installation is temporarily difficult, it is necessary to consider the long-term work of the operator. It is best to keep the valve handwheel flush with the chest (usually 1.2 meters away from the operating floor), so that it is easier to open and close the valve. The hand wheel of the floor valve should be upward, not tilted, to avoid awkward operation. To

The valve of the wall machine and the equipment should also leave room for the operator to stand. It is necessary to avoid operating from the sky, especially acid and alkali, toxic media, etc., otherwise it is very unsafe. Do not install the gate valve upside down (that is, the handwheel is downward), otherwise the medium will remain in the valve cover space for a long time, which will easily corrode the valve stem, and it is contraindicated by certain process requirements. At the same time, it is extremely inconvenient to replace the packing. The exposed stem gate valve should not be installed underground, otherwise the exposed stem will be corroded due to moisture. When installing the lift check valve, ensure that its valve flap is vertical for flexible lifting. For the swing check valve, ensure that its pin shaft is level during installation to allow flexible swing. The pressure reducing valve should be installed upright on a horizontal pipe, and not inclined in all directions.

What are the main factors affecting valve sealing?

September 11, 2020

Valve leakage is very common in daily life and industrial production, and the impact is very large. It will cause waste or bring danger to life. For example, the leakage of tap water valve will lead to serious consequences, such as the

chemical industry. Toxic, harmful, flammable, explosive and corrosive media leakage, etc., serious threats to personal safety, property safety and environmental pollution accidents. A valve that relies on external force to rotate and drive to open and close is designed with a sealing device. It is used to install a certain number of packing seals in the packing culvert to achieve a sealing effect, but how about the sealing? Leakage at the packing of the valve is one of the most prone to leakage failure in the valve, but the reasons are largely the following reasons.

1. The structure of the sealing pair

The structure of the sealing pair will change when the temperature or sealing force changes. Moreover, this change will affect and change the mutual force between the sealing pairs, thereby reducing the performance of the valve sealing. Therefore, when choosing a seal, be sure to choose a seal with elastic deformation. At the same time, pay attention to the width of the sealing surface. The reason is that the contact surfaces of the sealing pair cannot be completely matched. When the width of the sealing surface increases, the force required for sealing must be increased.

2. The specific pressure of the sealing surface

The specific pressure of the sealing surface affects the sealing performance of the valve and the service life of the valve. Therefore, the specific pressure of the sealing surface is also a very important factor. Under the same conditions, too much specific pressure will cause damage to the valve, but too little wine will cause valve leakage. Therefore, we need to fully consider the appropriateness of the specific pressure when designing.

3. The physical properties of the medium

The physical properties of the medium also affect the sealing performance of the valve. These physical properties include temperature, viscosity and surface hydrophilicity. The temperature change not only affects the slackness of the sealing pair and changes in the size of the parts, but also has an inseparable relationship with the viscosity of the gas. The gas viscosity increases or decreases as the temperature increases or decreases. Therefore, in order to reduce the influence of temperature on the sealing performance of the valve, when we design the sealing pair, we must design it into a valve with thermal compensation such as an elastic valve seat. Viscosity is related to the permeability of the fluid. When under the same conditions, the greater the viscosity, the smaller the permeability of the fluid. The hydrophilicity of the surface means that when there is a thin film on the metal surface, the thin film should be removed. Because this thin oil film will destroy the hydrophilicity of the surface and block the fluid channel.

4. The quality of the sealing pair

The quality of the sealing pair mainly refers to the selection, matching, and manufacturing accuracy of materials. For example, the valve disc and the sealing surface of the valve seat are very consistent, which can improve the sealing performance. The characteristic of many hoop waviness is its good labyrinth sealing performance.

Reasons and solutions for leakage of valve sealing surface

The valve is the most used control component in the fluid system. It can be used to switch or control the flow

direction and adjust the function. From the simplest cut-off function, the valve is sealed in the machine. Its function is to prevent the medium from In the cavity where the part is located, the joint between the parts leaks outward or prevents external substances from entering the inside. The collar and parts that play a sealing role are called seals or sealing structures, or seals for short. The two joint surfaces are in contact with the seal and play a sealing role. The surface is called the sealing surface. The valve sealing surface is the core part of the valve, and its leakage can generally be divided into the following types, namely, leakage of the sealing surface, leakage at the joint of the sealing ring, leakage caused by the fall of the closure member, and leakage of foreign objects embedded between the sealing surfaces. One of the most extensive uses of valves in pipelines and equipment is to cut off the flow of media. Therefore, its tightness is the main factor that determines whether internal leakage occurs. The valve sealing surface is generally composed of a pair of sealing pairs, one on the valve body and the other on the disc.

The reasons for the leakage of the sealing surface are generally as follows:
1. The sealing surface is unevenly ground and cannot form a tight line;
Second, the top center of the connection between the valve stem and the closing member is suspended, incorrect or worn;
3. The valve stem is bent or incorrectly assembled, which makes the closing part skewed or out of alignment;
4. Improper selection of the sealing surface material or failure to select the valve according to the working conditions, the sealing surface is prone to corrosion, erosion and wear;
5. Surfacing and heat treatment are not operated in accordance with the regulations, due to low hardness, wear, corrosion due to burning of alloy elements, and cracks due to excessive internal stress;
Six, the sealing surface after the surface treatment peels off or loses its original performance due to excessive grinding; Seven, the sealing surface is not tightly closed or the crevices appearing due to cold shrinkage after closing, resulting in intermediate corrosion; Eight, treat the shut-off valve as When the throttle valve and pressure reducing valve are used, the sealing surface is eroded and damaged;
9. The valve has reached the fully closed position and continued to apply excessive closing force, including incorrect use of long levers, and the sealing surface was crushed and deformed;
10. Excessive wear of the sealing surface causes disconnection, that is, the sealing pair cannot be tightly sealed;

Prevention and elimination methods of valve sealing surface leakage:
1. When grinding the sealing surface, the grinding tools, abrasives, emery cloth, sandpaper and other objects should use a reasonable grinding method to be correct, and color inspection should be carried out after grinding. The sealing surface should be free of indentation, cracks, scratches and other defects;
2. The connection between the valve stem and the closing member should meet the design requirements. If the top center does not meet the requirements, it should be trimmed. The top center should have a certain movable clearance, especially the axial gap between the valve stem shoulder and the closing member should not be less than 2 Mm;
3. The bend of the valve stem should be straightened. After the valve stem, stem nut, closing parts and valve seat are adjusted, they should be on a common axis;
Fourth, when selecting a valve or replacing the sealing surface, it should meet the working conditions. After the sealing surface is processed, its corrosion resistance, resistance and scratch resistance should be good;
5. The surfacing welding and heat treatment process should meet the technical requirements of the regulations and specifications. After the sealing surface is processed, the acceptance should be carried out. No defects that affect the use are allowed;
Six, the sealing surface surface firing, nitriding, shed infiltration, plating and other processes must be carried out in strict accordance with the technical requirements of its regulations and specifications. The penetration layer of the sealing surface should not exceed one-third of this layer to damage the plating and penetration layer. In serious cases, the plating layer and penetration layer should be removed and the surface treatment should be performed again. The sealing surface of the surface with high frequency smashing can be repeatedly fired and repaired;
Seven, the valve should be marked when it is closed or opened, and it should be repaired in time if the valve is not tightly closed. For high-temperature valves, some slits that appear to be cold-shrinked after closing should be closed more than once at a certain interval after closing;
8. The valve used as a shut-off valve is not allowed to be used as a throttle valve or a pressure reducing valve. The closing part should be in the fully open or fully closed position. When the flow and pressure of the medium need to be adjusted, the throttle valve and reducing valve should be set separately. Pressure valve;
9. The front opening and closing of the valve should comply with the section “Operation of the valve”. The closing force of the valve is appropriate. The diameter of the handwheel is less than 320mm. Only one person is allowed to operate. For handwheels with a diameter equal to or greater than 320mm, two persons or one person are allowed to operate. Operate with leverage within 500 mm;
10. After the waterline drops, it should be adjusted, and the sealing surface that cannot be adjusted should be replaced;
