The difference between fluoroplastics PTFE and PFA

February 5, 2021

With the gradual popularity of PFA in the market, more and more customers are beginning to contact and understand this new material. Although I have a preliminary understanding, I am not very familiar with it. Customers still have many questions about this material. Recently, customers often ask about the difference between “soluble polytetrafluoroethylene (PFA)” and “polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)” for this new material. Today, we will briefly explain here:

Fluorine lined butterfly valve-PTFE-WAFER (4)

The first is the difference in chemical structure:

PFA has added perfluoroalkoxy, which is equivalent to replacing one fluorine atom in PTFE with perfluoroalkoxy. A carbon is directly connected to an oxygen, and then the oxygen is connected to a group such as perfluoromethyl or perfluoroethyl. Compared with PTFE, the melt viscosity is reduced to facilitate processing. The other properties are not much worse than PTFE.

The second is the difference between applications:

PFA-has the same excellent properties as polytetrafluoroethylene, and has good thermoplasticity. It can be processed by ordinary thermoplastic resin processing methods. It is made by copolymerization of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoropropyl vinyl ether in a certain proportion in an aqueous medium containing perfluorocarboxylate dispersant and persulfate initiator. It is a white translucent particle. It not only has the same operating temperature as PTFE, but also has better mechanical strength (about 2 to 3 times) at 250°C, and has excellent stress crack resistance. It has a wide processing range and good molding performance, and is suitable for molding processing such as compression molding, extrusion molding, injection molding, and transfer molding. It can be used to make wire and cable insulation sheaths, high frequency and ultra high frequency insulation parts, chemical pipelines, valves and pumps corrosion-resistant lining; special parts for machinery industry, various anti-corrosion materials for light and textile industry, PTFE anti-corrosion

lining Wait for the electrode. It is made by extruding meltable polytetrafluoroethylene pellets, with translucent milky white appearance, smooth surface, and dense and uniform cross-section. It is specially used for welding PTFE plates and tubes, so that PTFE products with simple shapes can be welded into products with complex shapes and larger sizes. The aqueous dispersion is a copolymer obtained by copolymerizing tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoropropyl vinyl ether, adding an emulsifier, and concentrating at a certain temperature. The solid content is 30%±1%. The appearance is milky white or light yellow translucent. It has various excellent properties of fusible polytetrafluoroethylene resin. It can be used for a long time at 260℃, and developed into advanced coatings with its excellent anti-sticking, anti-corrosion and easy processing properties. It can be sprayed and dipped, and is widely used in copy technology and food industry as anti-stick and anti-corrosion materials.

PTFE-Polytetrafluoroethylene is made by polymerizing tetrafluoroethylene monomer by suspension method or dispersion method. Molecular weight=5.2×105-4.5×107. White powder, 400 mesh accounted for 75%, tasteless, non-beauty and non-toxic. The relative density is 2.1-2.3, the refractive index is 1.37, the glass transition temperature is 327℃, and the thermal decomposition temperature is 415℃. Above 400°C, there is a slight weight loss and decomposes toxic gases. Use temperature -250～260 ℃, use at 210 ℃ up to 10000h. Excellent chemical resistance, resistance to any strong acid (including aqua regia), strong alkali, grease, insoluble in any solvent, very low friction coefficient, good wear resistance, and self-lubricating. Excellent aging resistance. Excellent electrical performance, good arc resistance. It is non-sticky, almost all sticky substances cannot adhere to its surface, and it is completely non-flammable. Known as the “Plastic King”. Tensile strength (MPa)>23 and elongation (%)>250.

Again, the difference in processing methods:

The main difference in processing methods is that PFA can be processed by hot melt injection molding, while PTFE cannot be processed by hot melt injection molding.

The above is the introduction to the difference between PFA and PTFE materials. For a long time in the past, PTFE has been sought after by the industry because of its superior physical and chemical properties. However, the limitations of its processing methods have made many scientists and engineers distressed. Finally, after PFA was launched on the market, it received new enthusiasm in the plastics industry. This kind of performance is similar to PTFE material, has very good processing performance, so that engineers’ problems can be easily solved. While PFA materials are gradually being widely used, I also hope that scientists can develop more advanced and superior materials to meet market needs.

Classification and introduction of pipe thread-(1)

December 7, 2020

Pipe thread is a thread used for connection on the pipe wall to the valves. There are 55-degree unsealed pipe threads and 55-degree sealed pipe threads. Mainly used to connect pipes to make the internal and external threads fit tightly. There are two types which are straight pipes thread and tapered pipes thread.
Common pipe threads mainly include the following types: NPT, PT, G, etc.

NPT thread picture

1) NPT is the abbreviation of National (American) Pipe Thread, which belongs to the American standard 60-degree tapered pipe thread and is used in North America. Refer to GB/T12716-1991 for the national standard.

2) PT (BSPT) is the abbreviation of Pipe Thread. It is a 55-degree sealed tapered pipe thread. It belongs to the Wyeth thread family. It is mostly used in Europe and the Commonwealth countries. It is often used in the water and gas pipe industry. The taper is 1:16. Refer to GB/ T7306-2000. The domestic name is ZG.

3) G is a 55-degree non-sealed pipe thread, which belongs to the Wyeth thread family. Marked as G stands for cylindrical thread. Refer to GB/T7307-2001 for the national standard.

Metric and inch threads

Metric threads are expressed by pitch, while American and British threads are expressed by the number of threads per inch;

Metric thread is 60-degree equilateral profile, inch thread is isosceles 55-degree profile, and American thread is isosceles 60-degree profile;

Use metric units (such as mm) for metric threads, and use imperial units (such as inches) for American and British threads;

“Insiders” usually use “minutes” to refer to the thread size, one inch equals 8 points, 1/4 inch equals 2 points, and so on.

In addition, there are: ISO—Metric Thread Standard 60°; UN—Unified Thread Standard 60°; API—American Petroleum Pipe Thread Standard 60°; W—British Wyeth Thread Standard 55°.

The difference between various threads

NPT, PT, G　 are all pipe threads.

NPT is the abbreviation of National (American) Pipe Thread, which belongs to the American standard 60-degree tapered pipe thread and is used in North America. National standards can be found in GB/T12716-1991

PT is the abbreviation of Pipe Thread. It is a 55-degree sealed tapered pipe thread. It belongs to the Wyeth thread family and is mostly used in Europe and Commonwealth countries. Commonly used in water and gas pipe industry, the taper is 1:16. National standards can be found in GB/T7306-2000

G is a 55-degree non-thread sealed pipe thread, which belongs to the Wyeth thread family. Marked as G stands for cylindrical thread. National standards can be found in GB/T7307-2001

In addition, the 1/4, 1/2, and 1/8 marks in the thread refer to the diameter of the thread size, and the unit is inch. Insiders usually use points to refer to the thread size, one inch equals 8 points, 1/4 inch equals 2 points, and so on. G is the general name of pipe thread (Guan). The division of 55 and 60 degrees is functional, commonly known as pipe circle. That is, the thread is processed by a cylindrical surface.

ZG is commonly known as pipe cone, that is, the thread is processed by a conical surface. The general water pipe joints are like this. The national standard is marked as Rc metric thread to indicate the pitch, and the American thread is 60 degrees. Metric units are used for metric threads, and imperial units are used for American and British threads. Pipe thread is mainly used to connect pipelines. The internal and external threads are closely matched. There are two types of straight pipes and tapered pipes. The nominal diameter refers to the diameter of the connected pipe, obviously the thread diameter is larger than the nominal diameter. 1/4, 1/2, 1/8 are the nominal diameters of inch threads, and the unit is inches.

Inch pipe threads are derived from British Wyeth threads. The combination of Wyeth threaded pipe series and Wyeth thread profiles establishes the basic dimensions of British pipe threads. According to the 1/16 taper relationship, the radial diameter tolerance of Wyeth threads is converted into British sealed tubes. Tolerance of the axial number of threads (there is a certain amount of rounding and adjustment). Then refer to the tolerance value of the inch seal pipe thread to propose the tolerance of the inch unsealed pipe thread (the tolerance changes from one-way distribution to one-way distribution, relax the top Diameter tolerance, let go of the bottom diameter tolerance). The time for the three types of threads is:

In 1841, the British Wyeth thread was proposed, and in 1905, the new Wyeth thread standard (BS 84) was promulgated.

In 1905, the British Sealed Pipe Thread Standard (BS 21) was promulgated.

From 1905 to 1940, Wyeth Thread performed the responsibility of the imperial unsealed pipe. In 1940, the unsealed pipe thread series (BSP series) of Wyeth Thread was proposed; in 1956, the British unsealed pipe thread standard (BS 2779) was issued separately.

European countries and Commonwealth countries first accepted the imperial pipe thread standard. The ISO/TC5/SC5 Pipe Thread Standardization Technical Committee and its secretariat are controlled by European countries, and the imperial pipe thread standard was adopted by the ISO standard. In 1955, the ISO proposed the imperial sealed pipe thread Standard (ISO R 7); In 1961, ISO proposed the standard for imperial unsealed pipe threads (ISO R 228). In 1978, ISO promulgated two official standards for imperial pipe threads (ISO7-1 and ISO228-1). Threads have been generally accepted by countries outside North America and are widely used in international trade.

The inch pipe thread in the ISO standard has been converted to the metric system. The metric method of the inch pipe thread is very simple. Multiply the inch size of the original pipe thread by 25.4 to convert it to the millimeter size. The inch pipe thread size is being eliminated. The so-called use of real pipe thread standards is unrealistic. There is no distinction between real metric pipe threads and fake metric pipe threads.

The structure and connection of the American standard valve

November 25, 2020

American standard valves mainly have API and ASME standards. ASTM and ASTM are material standards; valves designed, manufactured, produced and tested according to American standards are called American standard valves.
The American standard valve is a control component in the fluid conveying system. It has the functions of cut-off, regulation, diversion, prevention of reverse flow, voltage stabilization, diversion or overflow and pressure relief; the valve used in the fluid control system is cut off from the simplest American standard. There are many types and specifications of American standard valves used in extremely complex automatic control systems. Valves can be used to control the flow of various types of fluids such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, oil, liquid metal and radioactive media. Valve types: gate valve, knife gate valve, check valve, butterfly valve and others.

The difference between carbon steel and cast steel

November 24, 2020

What is the difference between cast steel and carbon steel? First, steel is classified by chemical composition
(1) Carbon steel: a. Low carbon steel (C≤0.25%) b. Medium carbon steel (C≤0.25~0.60%) c. High carbon steel (C≤0.60%)
Steel is classified according to the forming method: (1) Forged steel (2) Cast steel (3) Hot rolled steel (4) Cold drawn steel. The so-called cast steel and carbon steel are just the names produced by the different classifications of steel.

What is the difference between forged steel valve and cast steel valve? Forging and casting are two different

flanges

processing techniques.
Casting: The molten liquid metal fills the cavity and cools. Pores are easy to produce in the middle of the workpiece.
Forging: It is mainly formed by extrusion at high temperature. Can refine the crystal grain in the part.
Forging: Use hammering and other methods to make a metal material in a plastic state into a workpiece with a certain shape and size, and change its physical properties.
Casting: The metal is heated and melted and poured into a sand mold or mold, and solidified into a utensil after cooling.
The difference in performance
During forging, the metal undergoes plastic deformation to refine grains.

What is the difference between a cast iron valve and a cast steel valve? The main difference between cast iron and cast steel valves is the carbon content, which directly affects the strength and plasticity of the steel. Carbon steel is also called carbon steel, an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content of less than 2% WC. In addition to carbon, carbon steel generally contains a small amount of silicon, manganese, sulfur, and phosphorus. According to its purpose, carbon steel can be divided into three types: carbon structural steel, carbon tool steel and free-cutting structural steel. Carbon structural steel is divided into building structural steel and machine-manufactured structural steel. According to the carbon content, carbon steel can be divided into low-carbon steel (WC ≤ 0.25%) and medium-carbon steel (WC0.25%-0.6%) And high-carbon steel (WC>0.6%) According to phosphorus and sulfur content, carbon steel can be divided into ordinary carbon steel (higher phosphorus and sulfur), high-quality carbon steel (lower phosphorus and sulfur) and high-quality Steel (lower phosphorus and sulfur) Generally, the higher the carbon content of carbon steel, the higher the hardness and the higher the strength, but the lower the plasticity.
The full name of carbon steel is carbon structural steel. Cast steel valves are also carbon steel valves (there are also cast iron valves). They are just made by casting methods, while common steels are made by rolling. The ingredients are the same.

What is the difference between cast steel, cast iron and carbon steel in valve materials? Simply put, you first

lug type butterfly valve, ductile iron, center lined,

distinguish between iron and steel. Both steel and iron are alloys based on iron and carbon as the main additive element, collectively referred to as iron-carbon alloys.
The cast iron is smelted in an iron melting furnace to obtain cast iron (liquid), and the liquid cast iron is cast into a casting, which is called a cast iron.
What is the difference between cast steel and carbon steel. First, steel is classified by chemical composition
(1) Carbon steel: a. Low carbon steel (C≤0.25%); b. Medium carbon steel (C≤0.25~0.60%); c. High carbon steel (C≤0.60%).
Steel is classified according to the forming method: (For valves with different pressures, different materials are used.
Medium and low pressure valve, the valve body material is cast iron. For high-pressure valves, because of the large pressure, the valve body must be made of cast steel. Special valves may use various alloy materials and stainless steel.
It is said that carbon steel is only a kind of steel, and cast steel is a processing method of steel, not a concept.

What is the difference between carbon steel gate valve and cast steel gate valve. Many people think that carbon steel gate valves and cast steel gate valves are two kinds of materials.
1. The cast steel check valve and carbon steel check valve are check valves of the same material, both of which are made of WCB A216 carbon steel.
2. Cast steel check valve, because the valve body of WCB material is cast, so the name suggests, it is called cast steel check valve.
3. Carbon steel check valve, because the main material of WCB material is carbon steel, it is named carbon steel check valve.

The forging process of steel is different in processing form. Cast steel The steel used for pouring castings. A kind of casting alloy. Cast steel is divided into cast carbon steel, cast low alloy steel and cast special steel. Cast steel refers to a type of steel casting produced by casting methods. Cast steel is mainly used to manufacture some parts with complex shapes, difficult to forge or cutting and forming, but require high strength and plasticity. Forged steel: Forged steel refers to various forgings and forgings produced by forging methods. The quality of forged steel parts is higher than that of cast steel parts, can withstand large impact forces, and have plasticity, toughness and other mechanical properties.

What is the meaning of cast steel and carbon steel of the valve? What is the meaning of cast steel and carbon steel. Thank you. Carbon steel is represented by CS, but it is generally not mentioned in the case of cast steel. Detailed materials such as WCB, WCC, LCC, etc. will be stated.

The valve is a control component in the fluid conveying system. It has the functions of cut-off, regulation, diversion, prevention of reverse flow, stabilization, diversion or overflow and pressure relief. Valves used in fluid control systems, ranging from the simplest shut-off valve to the various valves used in extremely complex automatic control systems, have a wide variety and specifications.
Valves can be used to control air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, oil, liquid metal and radioactive media. >>Cast steel has less carbon content, good toughness, and higher pressure and temperature resistance than cast iron. Cast iron valves are not suitable for diesel, sea water and acid media. Cast iron valves are cheaper. Their materials are obviously different, and they are used in different environments! The cost is also different. In short, the price is analyzed in detail, and the properties of various materials are different. Temperature resistant. Cast steel valves can withstand high temperatures, but cast iron valves cannot be used with water.

Resilient seated socket end gate valve

GATE VALVE-resilient seated SOCKET END
Standard: EN1074; EN1171

Socket ended resilient seated wedge gate valve-ductile iron (1)

CAST IRON / DUCTILE IRON GATE VALVE SOCKET END

Pressure: PN10 / PN16
Connection ends: Socked ends, for PVC pipes, uPVC pipes
FACE TO FACE: ACCORDING TO BS, DIN, ANSI, AWWA, SABS STANDARD ETC.
BODY:CAST IRON/DUCTILE IRON
BONNET:CAST IRON/DUCTILE IRON
WEDGE:CAST IRON/DUCTILE IRON, fully vulcanized with EPDM rubber
STEM: SS/BRASS
Coating: fusion bonded expoxy coating

The opening and closing part of the socket gate valve is a gate. The movement direction of the gate is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid. The gate valve can only be fully opened and fully closed, and cannot be adjusted or throttled. The gate has two sealing surfaces. The two sealing surfaces of the most commonly used mode gate valve form a wedge. The wedge angle varies with valve parameters, usually 50, and 2°52′ when the medium temperature is not high. The gate of the wedge gate valve can be made into a whole, called a rigid gate; it can also be made into a gate that can produce slight deformation to improve its manufacturability and compensate for the deviation of the sealing surface angle during the processing. The plate is called an elastic gate.

Socket gate valve can be divided into wedge gate valve and parallel gate valve according to the sealing surface configuration. The wedge gate valve can be divided into: single gate, double gate and elastic gate; parallel gate valve can be divided into It is single gate type and double gate type. According to the thread position of the valve stem, it can be divided into two types: rising stem gate valve and non-rising stem gate valve.

When the socket 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 against the valve seat on the other side to ensure the sealing of the sealing surface, which is self-sealing. Most gate valves use 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.

The gate of the socket gate valve moves linearly with the valve stem, which is called rising stem gate valve (also called rising stem gate valve). 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 into operating thrust.

When the valve is opened, when the lifting 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 a mark, that is, the position where it cannot be opened, as its fully open position. In order to take into account the locking phenomenon of the temperature change, it is usually at the top position of the opening, and then rewind 1/2-1 turn as the position of the fully open valve. Therefore, the fully open position of the valve is determined by the position of the gate (that is, the stroke).

In some gate valves, the stem nut is set on the gate, and the rotation of the handwheel drives the rotation of the valve stem to lift the gate. This kind of valve is called a rotating stem gate valve or a dark stem gate valve.

advantage:
The fluid resistance is small, and the sealing surface is less brushed and corroded by the medium.
It is easier to open and close.
The flow direction of the medium is not restricted, does not disturb the flow, and does not reduce the pressure.
The shape is simple, the length of the structure is short, the manufacturing process is good, and the scope of application is wide.

Disadvantages:
It is easy to cause erosion and scratches between the sealing surfaces, which makes maintenance difficult.
The overall size is large, opening requires a certain amount of space, and the opening and closing time is long.
The structure is more complicated.

The types of socket gate valves can be divided into wedge gate valves and parallel gate valves according to the sealing surface configuration. Wedge gate valves can be divided into: single gate type, double gate type and elastic gate type; parallel gate type Gate valves can be divided into single gate type and double gate type. Divided according to the thread position of the valve stem, it can be divided into two types: open stem gate valve and dark stem gate valve.

Matters needing attention in installation and maintenance
Handwheels, handles and transmission mechanisms are not allowed to be used for lifting, and collisions are strictly prohibited.
The double gate valve should be installed vertically (that is, the valve stem is in the vertical position and the handwheel is at the top).
The gate valve with bypass valve should be opened before opening (to balance the pressure difference between inlet and outlet and reduce the opening force).
The gate valve with transmission mechanism should be installed according to the product manual.
If the valve is frequently opened and closed, lubricate at least once a month.

Structural features:
The general gate valves used on the market for a long time generally have water leakage or rust. The company introduces the elastic seat seal gate valve produced by European high-tech rubber and valve manufacturing technology, which overcomes the defects of poor sealing and rust of general gate valves. The sealing gate valve uses the compensation effect of the elastic gate plate to produce a small amount of elastic deformation to achieve a good sealing effect. The valve has the obvious advantages of light switch, reliable sealing, good elastic memory and service life. It can be widely used as a regulating and intercepting device on the pipelines of tap water, sewage, construction, petroleum, chemical industry, food, medicine, textile, electric power, shipbuilding, metallurgy, energy system, etc.

Types and classifications of gate valves

November 13, 2020

Gate valve, also called plate gate valve, is mainly composed of valve body, bonnet, disc, valve stem, valve seat and sealing packing. It is one of the most common valve types in isolation valves. The main purpose of the gate valve is to cut off the fluid. For this reason, it is usually called a “cut off” valve or a “blocking” valve. The gate valve has many different structural forms, and the sealing element structure used in it is different. According to the structure of the sealing element, it can be divided into several different types.

ductile iron soft seal gate valve-non rising stem

Classified by valve stem:
According to the stem type, it can be divided into rising-stem gate valve and non rising-stem gate valve. The valve stem is the operating part of the gate valve, and its function is to transmit the opening and closing force to the opening and closing parts.
1. The trapezoidal thread of the rising-stem gate valve is placed outside the valve body and located on the upper part of the valve stem. By rotating the valve stem nut, the valve stem drives the disc to rise and fall synchronously to realize the opening and closing of the valve, so it is easy to identify the valve The opening and closing state of the machine can avoid misoperation. Since the stem nut is outside the body cavity, it is beneficial to lubrication, and the opening and closing state is intuitive and obvious, so it is widely used. However, in harsh environments, the exposed threads of the valve stem are vulnerable to damage and corrosion, even affecting operation. Its disadvantage is that the height of the valve after opening is large, usually a stroke is added to the original height of the valve, which requires a lot of operating space.

rising stem gate valve-OS&Y (3)

2. Non rising-stem gate valve is also called rotating stem gate valve (also called non rising-stem wedge gate valve). The stem nut is placed inside the valve body and is in direct contact with the medium and is often fixed on the disc. Through the rotation of the valve stem, the valve stem nut drives the disc to move up and down to complete the opening and closing. Usually there is a trapezoidal thread at the bottom end of the valve stem. Through the thread at the bottom end of the valve and the guide groove on the valve disc, the rotary motion is changed into linear motion, that is, the operating torque is turned into operating thrust. Since the trapezoidal thread for transmission is located inside the valve body, it is easily corroded by the medium and cannot be lubricated. The opening degree cannot be directly observed, and an indicating device is required. However, its valve stem does not move up and down, and requires small operating space, so it is suitable for occasions with limited locations and dense pipelines.

Classified by structure:
According to the structure type, it can be divided into two types: wedge gate valve and parallel gate valve. That is, the disc is a wedge type is called a wedge gate valve, and the disc is a parallel type is a flat gate valve.
1. The flat gate valve means that the sealing surface is parallel to the vertical centerline, so the sealing surfaces on the valve body and the disc are also parallel to each other. The most common type of this kind of gate valve is the double disc type. In order to make the valve body and the two sealing surfaces of the disc tightly contacted when it is closed, a double-sided thrust wedge is often used between the two discs. It is mostly used in low pressure pipelines such as small pipelines. Parallel gate valves using a single disc are also available but rare.
2. Wedge gate valve means that the sealing surface is at a certain angle with the vertical center line, that is, the two sealing surfaces are wedge-shaped gate valves. The disc of wedge gate valve is single and double. The advantage of the double disc type is that the accuracy of the sealing angle is lower, the temperature change is not easy to make the disc wedged, and the sealing surface wear can be compensated with gaskets. The disadvantage is that the structure is complex, and it is easy to stick in dry media, and the main reason is that the disc is easy to fall off after the upper and lower baffles are rusted for many years.

non-rising stem gate valve-open and close position

rising stem gate valve-open and closed position

Classification by other methods:
According to different standards: national standard gate valve, American standard gate valve, German standard gate valve, Japanese standard gate valve
According to the connection method: flange gate valve, welded gate valve, threaded gate valve (divided into internal thread and external thread)
According to pressure level: high pressure gate valve, low (medium) pressure gate valve
According to the driving mode: electric gate valve, pneumatic gate valve, manual gate valve
Classified by material: stainless steel gate valve, forged steel gate valve, cast steel gate valve, carbon steel gate valve, cast iron gate valve, copper gate valve (also divided into bronze gate valve, brass gate valve), ceramic gate valve, plastic gate valve

The main difference:
1. The lifting screw of the concealed rod flange gate valve only rotates and moves up and down. Only a rod is exposed. The screw cap is fixed on the disc. The disc is raised by the rotation of the screw, and there is no visible electric gate valve frame. ; The lifting screw of the rising stem flange gate valve is exposed, and the screw cap is close to the hand wheel and is fixed (not high-pressure gate valve rotation nor axial movement), the disc is improved by rotating the screw, the screw and the disc have only relative rotational movement There is no relative axial displacement, and the appearance is a gate-shaped bracket.
2. The valve stem with dark stem cannot be seen, while the stem with open stem can be seen.
3. The steering wheel and the valve stem are connected and relatively immovable when the dark stem valve is opened and closed. The valve stem rotates at a fixed point to help the valve clack move upward and downward to complete the opening and closing. The rising stem valve is driven by the turnbuckle of the valve stem and the steering wheel to raise or lower the disc.
To put it simply, the rising stem valve is that the disc and the stem move up and down together, and the steering wheel is always at a fixed point.
Is rising-stem gate valve or non rising-stem gate valve used outdoors?
For the valves installed in the outdoor valve wells, according to the experience of Tanghai valves, it is recommended that you use dark stem valves. The use of rising stem valves has the following disadvantages: 1. When the valve is opened and closed, the valve stem has to rise and fall, which takes up a lot of space. If the pipeline is not buried very deep, the valve well will hinder the opening of the valve. When the valve is opened, the valve well cover will not be closed or the valve cannot be fully opened. 2. After the number of switches is increased, the contact surface of the valve stem and the pressure flange will leak more seriously, and the packing should be replaced frequently. 3. If you don’t switch frequently, a part of the valve stem will be exposed to the valve body for a long time. In the humid environment of the valve well, the exposed valve stem is very easy to oxidize and rust. Once it needs to be closed, it will not be closed. Otherwise, grease must be applied frequently. In short, the maintenance workload is large. Dark stem valves do not have these problems, the probability of water leakage is also small, and of course the maintenance workload is also small. for reference only.

The opening and closing part of the rising-stem gate valve (gate valve) is a disc, and the movement direction of the disc is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid. The rising-stem gate valve can only be fully opened and fully closed, and cannot be adjusted or throttled.

Disc has two sealing surfaces. The two sealing surfaces of the most commonly used mode disc valve form a wedge. The wedge angle varies with valve parameters, usually 50, and 2°52′ when the medium temperature is not high. The disc of the wedge gate valve can be made into a whole, called a rigid disc; it can also be made into a disc that can produce slight deformation to improve its manufacturability and make up for the deviation of the sealing surface angle during the processing. This disc is called an elastic disc .

The types of rising-stem gate valve can be divided into wedge disc gate valve and parallel disc gate valve according to the sealing surface configuration. Wedge disc gate valve can be divided into: single disc type, double disc type and elastic disc type; parallel disc Type gate valve can be divided into single disc type and double disc type. According to the thread position of the valve stem, it can be divided into rising-stem gate valve and non rising-stem gate valve.

When the rising-stem gate valve is closed, the sealing surface can only rely on the medium pressure to seal, that is, only rely on the medium pressure to press the sealing surface of the disc 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 disc must be forced to the valve seat by external force to ensure the tightness of the sealing surface.
The working principle of rising-stem gate valve
Rotate the hand wheel, through the advance and retreat of the thread of the hand wheel and the valve stem, raise or lower the valve plate connected with the valve stem to open and close

According to the thread position of the valve stem, it can be divided into rising-stem gate valve and non rising-stem gate valve.
Installation and maintenance of rising-stem gate valve:
Handwheels, handles and transmission mechanisms are not allowed to be used for lifting, and collisions are strictly prohibited.
The double disc gate valve should be installed vertically (that is, the valve stem is in the vertical position and the handwheel is at the top).

The difference between American standard valve, German standard valve and China standard valve

lug type butterfly valve, ductile iron, center lined,

(American Standard, German Standard, National Standard) The difference between the valves:
First of all, it can be distinguished from the standard codes of various countries: GB is the national standard, the American standard (ANSI), and the German standard (DIN). Secondly, it can be distinguished from the model. The valve model of the national standard is named according to the pinyin letter of the valve category. For example, the safety valve is A, butterfly valve, D, diaphragm valve, G, check valve, H, globe valve, J, throttle valve, L, drain valve, P, ball valve, Q, trap, S, gate valve, and so on. ,
There are no special specifications between American standard valves, German standard valves, and national standard valves. It is nothing more than the difference between production standards and pressure levels. The material of the valve body and internal parts are easy to say, it is nothing but cast iron, cast steel, stainless steel, etc. Taking the American standard as an example, the pressure level of the American standard ranges from 125LB to 2500LB (or 200PSI to 6000PSI), and the main standard is API, ANSI, commonly referred to as API, and ANSI valves are American standard valves; German standard valve pressures are usually PN10 to PN320. DIN standard; if the valve is flanged, the corresponding flange standard must be adopted. The world’s main valve standards are also the American Standard Petroleum Institute API standard, the American national standard ANSI, the German standard DIN, the Japanese standard JIS, the national standard GB, the European standard EN, and the British standard BS. ,
Simply put, American standard valves are valves designed, manufactured, produced and tested according to American standards. German standard valves are valves designed, manufactured, produced and tested according to German standards. The national standard valve is the valve designed, manufactured, produced and tested according to our country’s standard. The differences between the three are roughly as follows: 1. The flange standards are different; 2. The structural length is different; 3. The inspection requirements are different.
National Standard Valves American Standard Valves German Standard Valves (American Standard, German Standard, National Standard) Valve Standards: Chinese National Standards (GB) Chinese Ministry of Machinery Standards (JB) American National Standards (ANSI) American Petroleum Institute Standards (API) American Society for Testing and Materials Standards (ASTM) American Valve and Fitting Manufacturers Standardization Association Standards (MSS) Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) German National Standards (DIN) French National Standards (NF) British National Standards, European Standards (BS, EN) Other National Valve Standards ( ГOCT, IEEE, UL)

After 14 years of continuous development and innovation, the company now has a group of high-tech engineers, technicians and skilled production workers, advanced production technology, sophisticated manufacturing equipment, complete testing methods, in strict accordance with international standards and quality management system, formed A comprehensive quality control network.
