It is mostly used for high pressure, oxygen working conditions, small diameter or other small batch valve manufacturing, generally at high temperature, Choose forgings under high pressure or low temperature or special medium; castings are generally only suitable for medium and low pressure, and are mostly used for mass production of standardized molded valves.

2. The difference between material A351 CF3M and A182 F316L: the materials corresponding to the two standards are 316 stainless steel. CF3M stands for castings and is often used as valve material. The corresponding forging steel code is A182 F316L. ASTM A216 WCB is a casting, and its forging is A105; the casting of SS304 is A351-CF8, and the forging is A182-F304.

Valve body and material classification

August 24, 2020

The valve body is a main part of the valve; there are different mechanical manufacturing methods according to the pressure level. For example: casting, forging, etc.

lug type butterfly valve body

Material Description
Introduction

Valve bodies of medium and low pressure specifications are usually produced by casting process.
The valve body of medium and high pressure specification is produced by forging process.
It can effectively withstand medium pressure after forming a seal together with the valve core and valve seat sealing ring.
definition
The definition of “valve” is a device used to control the direction, pressure, and flow of fluid in a fluid system. A valve is a device that allows the medium (liquid, gas, powder) in the piping and equipment to flow or stop, and can control its flow

The material of the valve body is selected according to different process media.

Common materials are: cast iron, cast steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, plastic, copper, etc. [1]

Material Description:
1. grey cast iron:

Grey cast iron valves are used in various fields of industry because of their low price and wide application range. They are usually used in the case of water, steam, oil and gas as the medium, and are widely used in chemical industry, printing and dyeing, oil chemical, textile and many other industrial products that have little or no impact on iron pollution. It is suitable for low pressure valves with working temperature between -15～200℃ and nominal pressure PN≤1.6MPa.

2. Ductile cast iron

Ductile cast iron is a kind of cast iron. In this cast iron, the flake graphite in gray cast iron is replaced by clump or nodular graphite. The change in the internal structure of this metal makes its mechanical properties better than ordinary gray cast iron, and does not damage other properties. Therefore, valves made of ductile iron have higher pressures than those made of gray cast iron. It is suitable for medium and low pressure valves with working temperature between -30～350℃ and nominal pressure PN≤4.0MPa. Applicable media are water, sea water, steam, air, gas, oil, etc.

3. Carbon steel:

The initial development of cast steel was to meet the production needs that exceeded the capabilities of cast iron valves and bronze valves. However, because the carbon steel valve has good overall performance and high resistance to stress caused by thermal expansion, impact load and pipeline deformation, it has expanded its use range, usually including the working conditions of cast iron valves and bronze valves. . Suitable for medium and high pressure valves with working temperature between –29～425℃. Among them, the temperature of 16Mn and 30Mn is between -40～400℃, and they are often used to replace ASTM A105. The applicable medium is saturated steam and superheated steam. High and low temperature oil, liquefied gas, compressed air, water, natural gas, etc.

Comparison of pneumatic actuator, electric actuator and hydraulic actuator

August 24, 2020

The valve actuators used in the regulating valve are nothing more than pneumatic, electric and hydraulic:

hydraulic actuator for marine valve

1. Nowadays, most of the actuators used in industrial control places are because they use air source as power, which is more economical than electric and hydraulic, and has a simple structure, which is easy to control and maintain. From a maintenance point of view, it is easier to operate and proofread than other types of actuators, and it is also easy to realize the call of positive and negative on the spot. Its biggest advantage is safety. When using a locator, it is ideal for flammable and explosive environments. If the electrical signal is not explosion-proof or intrinsically safe, there is a potential risk of fire caused by ignition. Therefore, although the application range of electric control valves is becoming wider and wider, in the chemical industry, pneumatic control valves still occupy an absolute advantage.

2. Electric actuators: Electric actuators are mainly used in power plants or nuclear power plants, because the high-pressure water system requires a smooth, stable and slow process. The main advantages of electric actuators are high stability and constant thrust applied by users. The maximum thrust generated by the actuator can be as high as 225000kgf. Only hydraulic actuators can achieve such a large thrust, but the cost of hydraulic actuators is higher than that of electric Much higher. The anti-deviation ability of the electric actuator is very good, and the output thrust moment is basically constant, which can well overcome the unbalanced force of the medium and achieve accurate control of the process parameters, so the control accuracy is higher than that of the pneumatic actuator . If equipped with a servo amplifier, the positive and negative effects can be exchanged easily, and the signal-off valve position state (hold/full open/full close) can be easily set, and it must remain in the original position when it fails. What the pneumatic actuator cannot do, the pneumatic actuator must rely on a set of combined protection system to achieve position retention.

Hydraulic actuator: When we need abnormal anti-deflection ability, high thrust and fast formation speed, we often choose hydraulic or electro-hydraulic actuator. Because of the incompressibility of hydraulics, the advantage of using hydraulic actuators is better anti-deviation ability, which is very important for regulating conditions, because when the regulating element is close to the valve seat, the throttle condition is unstable. The larger the pressure difference, the worse this situation is. In addition, the hydraulic actuator runs very smoothly and responds quickly, so high-precision control can be achieved. The electro-hydraulic actuator integrates the motor, the oil pump, and the electro-hydraulic servo valve. It can work as long as it is connected to the power supply and the control signal. The hydraulic actuator is similar to the cylinder, but it can withstand higher pressure than the cylinder. Work requires an external hydraulic system. The factory needs to be equipped with hydraulic stations and oil pipelines. In contrast, electro-hydraulic actuators are more convenient.

Valve actuator / actuation -(7)- generator

August 19, 2020

Generator for valve actuator:
1. The development history of generator controller The automatic control of generator set has experienced relay control. Greatly simplified the control circuit? Reliability has also been improved, to the point of more humanity,

electric actuator for butterfly valve

there are also some generator manufacturers produce small gasoline engine integrated machine, practical and convenient.

2. Diesel generator set structure Diesel generator set is generally composed of three parts: engine, generator and controller. The generator powered by the engine converts the mechanical energy of the engine into electrical energy. The controller is the brain part of the generator set. It not only provides engine start-up, shutdown, data measurement, data display and fault protection functions, but also provides generator power measurement, power display and power protection functions.

3. (i.e. only provide start-up, shutdown and high water temperature, low oil pressure, overspeed protection? Does not provide power display? Water temperature meter, oil pressure meter, hour meter, battery voltmeter, AC voltmeter, AC Ammeter and other instruments), standard type (providing power display, providing protection function? Without communication interface), high-end type (in addition to providing standard functions, but also providing communication interface? Remote control, remote measurement, remote signaling functions are available, some It also has a network interface? It can be monitored through the Internet? Some have a text message function, which is more suitable for unattended computer rooms in remote areas).

Fourth, the inspection steps of the diesel generator set test machine when purchasing diesel generator sets? The customer is most concerned about the price of the generator set? There are many kinds of generator sets according to the brand? And the price of the generator set with different diesel engine power is different , Diesel generator set manufacturers will introduce to you how to compare the prices of diesel generator sets.

One question: Ask about the purchase time of the old diesel engine, ask about the repairs in the past? Which main parts have been replaced? Ask what are the problems in use? In order to have a more comprehensive and systematic understanding of the old diesel engine.

Second look: look at the signs and appearance of the old diesel engine. See which factory produced it? When did it leave the factory? How long did it take? See if the paint on the exterior is peeling off? Is there any defect? Whether the model is eliminated, etc. Judge the degree of newness of the old diesel engine from the label and appearance.

Three trials: Test machine. Check the old diesel engine carefully by shaking the crankshaft, turning the flywheel, starting the machine, etc. Test machine is a very important step? The specific inspection steps are as follows:

1. Rotate the crankshaft to supply oil from the fuel injector. If the fuel injector makes a crisp sound? It means that the performance of the fuel injector and plunger pair is still good. If there is no abnormal noise such as “whipping” in the wheel chamber, it means that the gear wear is not serious.

2. Pull up and down to fly, if there is no noise, it means that the gap between the crankshaft main shaft and the bearing bush is not large.

3. Turn the flywheel so that the piston approaches the bottom dead center? Then shake the flywheel left and right? If there is no “click” sound, it means that the wear between the connecting rod shaft and the bushing is not serious.

4. Decompress the cylinder and sway the crankshaft. When decompression is removed, if the rebound force of the piston is large, the flywheel rotates rapidly, indicating that the degree of wear of the cylinder, piston, and piston ring is small. When cranking the crankshaft, the pointer of the oil pressure gauge should be no less than 1 or the red mark of the oil instruction can rise quickly, and the hand pressure should be laborious.

5. Start the machine, if it is easy to start? The smoke is colorless or light gray? The speed is stable and no noise? It shows that the technical condition of the old diesel engine is good. Remarks: During the testing process of diesel generator set, it is best to operate and track changes in data such as air pressure and oil pressure in the diesel generator controller. Therefore, the stability of the quality of the diesel generator controller has high requirements in terms of humanization and other aspects. This controller is highly evaluated in the market.

6. How to buy diesel generator sets What issues should companies pay attention to when purchasing diesel generator sets? Diesel generator sets are widely used in telecommunications, financial and financial departments, hospitals, schools, commerce and other departments, industrial and mining enterprises and other special purpose independent power supply. Enterprises must have their own standards when purchasing diesel generator sets.

1. The performance and quality of the diesel generator set to be purchased must meet the requirements of relevant standards. The diesel generator set for communication must meet the requirements of the G3 or G4 level in GB2820-1997? At the same time as the “Communication diesel generator set into the network The 24 performance index requirements stipulated in the Implementation Rules for Quality Certification and Testing? At the same time, it must pass the strict inspection of the Communication Power Equipment Quality Supervision and Inspection Center established by the Chinese industry authority. The purchase of diesel generator sets for military communications must meet the relevant GB2820-1997, GJB related standards and the provisions of the “Quality Inspection Standards for Communication Power Equipment” formulated by relevant military departments, and must pass the strict inspection of the equipment quality by the organization department.
2. The main factors that should be considered when purchasing diesel generator sets. The main factors that should be considered when purchasing diesel generator sets are mechanical and electrical performance, the purpose of the unit, the capacity and range of load changes, and automation functions.

1. The purpose of diesel generator set. Because diesel generator sets can be used in three situations: common use, standby and emergency. Therefore, different applications have different requirements for diesel generator sets.
2. Load capacity of diesel generator set. The load capacity and load variation range should be selected according to different uses. Determine the single engine capacity of the diesel generator set and the capacity of the standby diesel generator set.
3. Environmental conditions for the use of diesel generator sets. Mainly refers to altitude and climatic conditions.
4. Selection of diesel generator set
5. Pay attention to generator and excitation mode when purchasing diesel generator set
6. Selection of the automation function of diesel generator set

Valve actuator / actuation -(4)-angle stroke valve actuator application

August 19, 2020

Angle stroke valve actuator application products:

1. Butterfly valve:
The baffle of the butterfly valve controls the flow of fluid with the rotation of the shaft. It is composed of valve body, baffle, baffle shaft and shaft seal. Its simple structure, small size, light weight, low cost and large flow capacity are especially suitable for occasions with low pressure difference, large diameter, large flow gas and fluid with su

spended solids, but the leakage is large. Its flow characteristics are achieved at the corners. The front and equal percentage characteristics are similar, but the work will be unstable and the characteristics will not be good in the future; use in the corner range. Butterfly valves are not only widely used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, and water treatment, but also used in cooling water systems of thermal power stations.

2. Ball valve:
The ball valve is defined in the standard GB/T21465-2008 “Valve Terminology” as a valve in which the opening and

closing part (sphere) is driven by the valve stem and rotates around the axis of the valve stem. The ball valve has a 90-degree rotation. The cock body It is a sphere with a circular through hole or channel passing through its axis. It is mainly used to cut off or connect the medium in the pipeline, and can also be used for fluid adjustment and control. Among them, the hard-sealed V-shaped ball valve has a strong shear between the V-shaped core and the metal seat of the hard alloy. Shearing force is especially suitable for media containing fibers and tiny solid particles. The multi-way ball valve can not only flexibly control the confluence, divergence, and flow direction switching of the

14 ball-valve-6

medium in the pipeline, but also close any channel and connect the other two channels. This type of valve should generally be installed horizontally in the pipeline. Ball valve classification: pneumatic ball valve, electric ball valve, manual ball valve. The ball valve can be closed tightly with only a 90-degree rotation and a small torque. The ball valve is most suitable for use as a switch and shut-off valve, V-shaped ball valve. In the developed western countries, the use of ball valves is increasing year by year. In our country, ball valves are widely used in petroleum refining, long-distance pipelines, chemicals, papermaking, pharmaceuticals, water conservancy, electric power, municipal administration, steel and other industries. Occupy a pivotal position in the national economy.

3. Cam flex valve:

Cam flex valve, also known as eccentric rotary valve, is also a new-type regulating valve. The center line of the spherical valve core deviates from the center of the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft drives the valve core to rotate eccentrically, so that the valve core enters the valve seat forward and downward.

The eccentric rotary valve has the advantages of small size, light weight, reliable use, convenient maintenance, strong versatility, and low fluid resistance. It is suitable for occasions with high viscosity and has good performance in lime, mud and other fluids.

Valve actuator / actuation -(3)-classifications

August 19, 2020

Double acting valve actuator:
The selection of double-acting actuators takes DA series pneumatic actuators as an example. The output torque of

Pneumatic actuator (2)

the gear-and-pinion actuator is the piston pressure (supplied by the air source pressure) multiplied by the pitch circle radius (arm). And the friction resistance is small and the efficiency is high. The output torque is linear when rotating clockwise and counterclockwise. Under normal operating conditions, the recommended safety factor for double-acting actuators is 25-50%

Single-acting valve actuator:
The selection of single-acting actuator takes the SR series pneumatic actuator as an example. In the application of spring return, the output torque is obtained during two different operations. According to the stroke position, each operation produces two different torque values. The output torque of the spring-return actuator is obtained by multiplying the force (air pressure or spring force) by the force arm. The first situation: the output torque is obtained by air pressure entering the central cavity to compress the spring, which is called “air stroke output torque”. In this case, the air source pressure forces the piston to turn from 0 degrees to 90 degrees. Due to the reaction force generated by the compression of the spring, the torque gradually decreases from the maximum value

hydraulic actuator for marine valve

at the starting point to the second condition: the output torque is the spring recovery when the middle cavity loses air. The force acting on the piston is called “spring stroke output torque”. In this case, due to the extension of the spring, the output torque gradually decreases from 90 degrees to 0 degrees. As mentioned above, the single-acting actuator is based on two It is designed on the basis of generating a balance torque under this condition.

Linear valve actuator:
1. Through single seat valve

The so-called single seat means that there is only one valve core and one valve seat in the valve body. Its characteristics are simple structure, small leakage (even completely cut off) and small allowable pressure difference. Therefore, it is suitable for occasions requiring clean media with small leakage and small working pressure difference. Special attention should be paid to the allowable pressure difference in the application to prevent the valve from closing.

2. Straight through double seat valve

There are two valve cores and valve seats in the valve body of the straight-through double-seat regulating valve. Compared with the single seat valve of the same caliber, its flow capacity is about 20% to 25% larger. Because the force of the fluid on the upper and lower valve cores can cancel each other, but the upper and lower valve cores are not easy to close at the same time, the double seat valve has the characteristics of large allowable pressure difference and large leakage. Therefore, it is suitable for clean media where the pressure difference between the two ends of the valve is large and the leakage requirement is not high. It is not suitable for high viscosity and fiber-containing occasions.

3. Angle valve

The valve body of the angle control valve is right-angled, its flow path is simple, and the service force is small. It is suitable for the control of high pressure difference, high viscosity, suspended solids and granular materials. Generally used for bottom inlet and side outlet, this kind of control valve has better stability. In high pressure situations, in order to prolong the service life of the spool, the side inlet and the bottom outlet can be used, but oscillation is prone to occur in small openings.

Valve actuator / actuation -(2)-classification and working principle

August 19, 2020

Classification of valve actuators:
(1) According to the driving energy used, the actuator is divided into three types: pneumatic, electric and hydraulic actuators.
(2) According to the form of output displacement, the actuator has two types: angle type and linear type.

Pneumatic actuator (2)

(3) According to the law of action, actuators can be divided into three types: switch type, integral type and proportional type.
(4) According to the input control signal, the actuator can be divided into several types, such as air pressure signal, direct current signal, electric contact on-off signal, pulse signal, etc.

The working principle of valve actuator:
In the gear stage, the engine speed can be transmitted to the output rod through two sets of gears. The main reducer is completed by planetary gears, and the auxiliary reducer is realized by worm gears, which are fixed in the center by a set of tight springs. In the event of an overload, that is, when the output rod exceeds the set torque of the spring, the central worm gear will undergo axial displacement, and the switches and

signal devices will be fine-tuned to provide protection for the system. The output rod is coupled with the worm gear when the engine is working, and is coupled with the hand wheel when it is manually operated, under the action of the coupling operated by the external change control lever. When the engine is not working, the motor drive can be easily cut off, and the handwheel can be connected by simply pressing the lever. Since the motor drive takes

precedence over manual operation, when the engine restarts, the reverse action will automatically occur. This can avoid turning on the hand wheel when the engine is running, which is beneficial to protect the system.

Since the hand wheel is directly coupled with the output rod, it can ensure the normal manual operation of the valve when the internal gear fails or is damaged.

The switch and signal device installed on the gear is a sealed shell, which protects its internal components to achieve
