Structural characteristics of centerline butterfly valve
The composition of the centerline butterfly valve mainly includes the valve body, the butterfly plate, the valve stem, the valve seat and the actuator. The actuator mainly includes handle, turbine head, electric head, pneumatic head, etc. The valve body is made by integral casting process. The valve seat sealing ring is made of rubber and is inlaid on the valve body. A shaft sleeve is designed in the two shaft holes of the valve body to provide support and lubrication for the valve stem.
The operation of the centerline butterfly valve is also very simple. Take the handle centerline butterfly valve as an example. Pull the handle to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, the handle drives the valve stem, and the valve stem drives the butterfly plate to rotate 90° to complete the opening and closing of the butterfly valve. The whole process is also very labor-saving.

Instructions for use of centerline butterfly valve
1. Avoid bumps and scratches during transportation;
2. Do not store in the open air during storage, avoid the valve from being exposed to sunlight or rain, pay attention to ensure the ventilation of the storage place, and keep the valve dry.
3. The following preparations should be done before installation of the centerline butterfly valve:
① Carefully check whether the valve used conforms to the performance specifications required by the operating conditions.
②Clean the sealing surface of the valve body without any impurities and dirt, and do not open or close the valve plate before cleaning.
③ Clean the inside of the pipeline to be installed, and there must be no dirt or debris.
④ Check whether the drive device can be used normally.
4. The installation position should be reasonable, and the installation position of the valve should be ensured to be convenient for use, maintenance or replacement. In addition, it is not necessary to consider the flow direction of the pipeline medium during installation.
5. Pipe flanges must use special flanges.
6. After the centerline butterfly valve is installed, it should be checked regularly during use. The main items to check are as follows:
① Whether the butterfly valve seat and O-ring seal are damaged or corroded.
②Whether the valve plate sealing surface is damaged or corroded.
Note: After each inspection, the inspection results should be recorded in detail for future reference.

Precautions for the application of fluorine-lined valves

January 19, 2022

Appropriate selection and application of fluorine-lined anti-corrosion valves is a matter of concern to everyone in engineering. Tanghai Valve puts forward the following views based on years of field application experience for your reference. We are specialised in the production of fluorine lined butterfly valves.

lug butterfly valve-lined-PTFE-DI body (1)

The price of fluorine-lined butterfly valves is much lower than that of corrosion-resistant stainless steel valves and Hastelloy valves. Some metal valves with strong corrosive media cannot be used, but only plastic-lined valves can be used well. However, the plastic-lined valve must be suitable for application. It is hoped that several technical conditions such as application pressure and application temperature should be used. Take our company’s products as an example to illustrate the following:
(1) The temperature of the medium used in the fluorine-lined valve: Usually, the fluorine plastic used in the fluorine-lined valve is F46 (FEP), and the temperature of the medium used cannot exceed 150 °C (the medium temperature can reach 150 °C in a short time, and the temperature of the long-term use It should be around 120℃), otherwise, the F46 lining of various parts of the valve is easy to soften and deform, resulting in the valve not closing and the leakage is large.
If the temperature of the medium used by the user is below 180 °C for a short time and below 150 °C for a long time, another fluoroplastic, PFA, can be used, but the price of fluoroplastic lined with PFA is more expensive, so it should be used in advance when matching. Inquiry.
(2) Do not have negative pressure. Fluoroplastic-lined valves should avoid negative pressure in the pipelines used. If there is negative pressure, it is easy to cause the fluoroplastic-lined layer of the valve cavity to be sucked out (bulged) and shelled, resulting in failure of the valve to open and close.
(3) The pressure and differential pressure should be controlled within the allowable range. Especially the fluorine-plastic-lined regulating valve and globe valve sealed by bellows. Because the bellows is made of tetrafluoro material, the pressure is high and the pressure difference is high, which can easily lead to the rupture of the bellows.
Bellows-sealed fluoroplastic-lined regulating valve can be changed to PTFE packing seal if the operating condition pressure and differential pressure are high.
(4) The medium conditions used in the fluoroplastic valve should not have hard particles, crystallization, impurities, etc., so as to prevent the valve from breaking the valve core, the fluoroplastic layer of the valve seat or the tetrafluoro bellows during the opening and closing operation. For the medium with hard particles, crystals and impurities, when selecting, the valve core and valve seat can be changed to Hastelloy, but additional inquiry is required.

Application of double eccentric butterfly valve and triple eccentric butterfly valve

December 29, 2021

Butterfly valves can be divided into centerline butterfly valves, single eccentric butterfly valves, double eccentric butterfly valves and triple eccentric butterfly valves. These butterfly valves are widely used in our production and life. Because of some defects of the centerline butterfly valve itself, it is not suitable for the environment where the temperature and pressure are too high or too low, so the butterfly valve is continuously improved, and this is the new design of single eccentric, double eccentric, and triple eccentric. Improvement is a breakthrough. Nowadays, the

Double eccentric-lug butterfly valve-D72F-150lbP-stainless steel (4)

application range of double eccentric butterfly valve and triple eccentric butterfly valve is wider and wider. This article will introduce the application of double eccentric butterfly valve and triple eccentric butterfly valve.

Application of double eccentric butterfly valve
The double eccentric butterfly valve is designed with eccentric structure and is widely used in the fluid pipeline system of water supply and drainage, sewage, construction, petroleum, chemical, textile, paper, hydropower, metallurgy, energy and other projects for regulation and interception.
Under normal circumstances, the seat material of the double eccentric butterfly valve is made of tetrafluoroethylene, which can effectively prevent corrosion. In addition, metal sealing seat can also be used to adapt to the high temperature environment. However, the double eccentric butterfly valve adopts metal sealing seat. The sealing surface of the butterfly plate and the seat is in line contact. The seal is a positional sealing structure. This sealing structure cannot withstand high pressure. If used in high pressure conditions, it will cause a lot of leakage. Therefore, do not use double eccentric butterfly valves with metal seal seats in high-pressure working environments or systems that require tight shut-off.

Application of triple eccentric butterfly valve

The triple eccentric butterfly valve is currently the most technologically advanced butterfly valve. It not only absorbs the advantages of other butterfly valve products, but also avoids the shortcomings of other butterfly valves, and has been valued by more and more users and technicians. The triple eccentric butterfly valve has a lot of leeway in the selection of sealing materials, and can deal with corrosive media such as high and low temperatures and various acids and alkalis. In addition, the triple eccentric butterfly valve can achieve zero leakage and is particularly suitable for making large-diameter valves. When used as a cut-off valve, it can replace gate valves and ball valves; when used as a flow adjustment, it can replace bulky shut-off valves.
At present, triple eccentric butterfly valves are used in important pipelines in large industrial fields such as petroleum exploration, petroleum refining, petrochemical, and energy power generation. As people continue to study, it is believed that triple eccentric butterfly valves will be applied to more and more fields.

Application of Soft Seal Wafer Butterfly Valve in Sewage Treatment

December 28, 2021

The soft-seal wafer butterfly valve is now closely inseparable from various township sewage treatment plants. In the past agricultural villages, the sewage discharge facilities of farm households have not been transformed, resulting in the direct discharge of a large amount of domestic sewage, which seriously affected the lives of local villagers and

JIS 10K-wafer butterfly valve-backup seat (1)

threatened the ecological environment of rivers and rivers. With President Xi’s idea that “green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains”, the overall management of the city’s urban domestic sewage and the strengthening of the city’s ecological civilization construction are highly valued. While the construction of the township sewage treatment plant is in full swing, it is the important role of the soft seal butterfly valve in the sewage treatment.
Sewage treatment valves are generally soft-sealed butterfly valves, seat-sealed elastic gate valves, etc. If the sewage is acidic, it may be necessary to use a lining valve. It is very important for us to select the appropriate type of the soft seal butterfly valve according to different working conditions, so that it can be better used in sewage treatment working conditions. For example, when the chloride ion content in the water is 700mg/L, both steel-lined 4F and ordinary carbon steel butterfly valves can be used, while butterfly valves made of 304 and 316 are not good under this working condition because they cannot resist corrosion well.
For another example, a situation that many engineering pipelines in the north can encounter is that due to the low temperature in winter, the properties of many materials change at low temperatures, resulting in the loss of equipment or components. If the soft-seal wafer butterfly valve made of gray iron is selected in this case and the warmth is not well maintained, the valve will easily be broken by freezing. The major reason for this situation is that the weather is not considered in the pipeline design, which makes the system work abnormally. If the buried pipeline is buried deep enough and the exposed pipe fittings are insulated in place, this type of loss can be reduced. In winter in the north, facilities such as pipelines and valves are easily damaged. In addition to the low-temperature performance of the materials, there is another important reason: the water in the pipeline or pump is frozen. In the case of the same quality, the volume of ice is larger than that of the water, pipeline or pump. If there is water, the valve can easily burst. Under such working conditions, the manufacturers of soft-seal butterfly valve suggest that water treatment in the north, except that the pipeline is buried under the frozen layer, should first be insulated before the pipeline enters water, and ensure that there is water flowing or Empty the water after parking. If there is no more water, be sure to drain the water in the pipe. Otherwise, as long as there is still water after parking, there will be freezing cracks from the weak points of the pipeline or butterfly valve.
In the enquiry reception of Tanghai Valve, we also received customer inquiries regarding municipal sewage treatment whether it would be better to choose imported soft-seal wafer butterfly valves, but our suggestion is generally that municipal sewage does not need to be imported. Because the imported price is expensive and the delivery period is long, domestic valve manufacturers can do it. Generally, the use conditions of valves in sewage treatment plant projects are relatively low, and domestic valves not only meet the needs of use, but also save costs. A better domestic factory can meet the requirements, but the design institute generally chooses imported brands according to the situation.

Application of metal seated butterfly valve in metallurgical field

October 28, 2021

In the initial use of metallurgical blast furnaces, gate valves occupies half of the country. However, as the government has increased its efforts in environmental protection construction, and the pipe diameter of the blast

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

furnace system has gradually increased, the metal seated butterfly valve, which is light in weight, good in sealing performance, small in torque, and more suitable for making large-diameter valves, has gradually replaced gate valves. It is widely used in the field of metallurgy.
The metal hard seal butterfly valve has two driving methods: hydraulic drive and electric drive. In the ironmaking blast furnace, it is mainly installed in the waste heat utilization system, the dry dust removal system and the gas pipe network. It is used under the high temperature conditions of large nominal diameter, low working pressure and opening and closing pressure difference, and temperature of 200-350℃ . Because most of the metallurgical system pipelines are high-temperature gas media, the metal hard seal eccentric butterfly valve has been developed.
The metal hard sealing butterfly valve adopts surface-to-surface contact, and the sealing material is metal, so it is more resistant to high temperatures, even up to 400°C. However, correspondingly, the selection of metal seals has become very important. We must choose old brands and professional brands. Because brand manufacturers pay attention to reputation and their qualifications are relatively sound, we can check whether the metal seal is of high quality when purchasing, which can ensure that it maintains flexibility under high temperature conditions. This is also the possibility to ensure that the metal eccentric butterfly valve will not deform and leak after a period of use.
Now Tanghai also has a triple-eccentric butterfly valve whose sealing pair is a multi-layer composite material, which is a composite of metal and non-metal materials. This further makes up for the slight inferiority of metal sealing performance to fluorine lining, especially the non-metal interlayer in the middle can make the sealing of the sealing pair produce a stepped sealing form. After long-term use, it can still maintain good and reliable high-temperature use effects. The disadvantage is that the valve can maintain good sealing performance while maintaining high temperature and aging resistance. Various systems in metallurgical blast furnaces have been widely used, especially high-temperature systems.
Metal hard seal butterfly valves are suitable for high temperature gas pipeline systems in metallurgy, mining, cement, chemical, power generation and urban heating industries, as opening and closing equipment. In addition, Tanghai’s metal eccentric hard seal butterfly valve has compact structure, few parts, small size, light weight, high temperature resistance, flexible opening and closing, and can achieve zero leakage under long-term working conditions, long service life, and low power required. , The future will also usher in a wider range of applications.

Electric globe valve selection and application

July 20, 2021

Electric shut-off valve selection, Electric shut-off valve application, globe valve also named shut off valve or cut off valve.
Advantages of electric shut-off valve:
Once the electric shut-off valve is in the open state, there is no contact between its valve seat and the sealing surface of the disc, so its sealing surface is less mechanically worn, because most of the electric shut-off valves have relatively easy repairs. Or there is no need to remove the entire valve from the pipeline when replacing the sealing

electric globe valve

element,which is very suitable for the occasion where the valve and the pipeline are welded together. The most obvious advantage is that during the opening and closing process, the friction between the disc and the sealing surface of the valve body is smaller than that of the gate valve, so it is wear-resistant. The opening height is generally only 1/4 of the diameter of the valve seat passage, so it is much smaller than the gate valve. Usually there is only one sealing surface on the valve body and the valve flap, so the manufacturing process is better and it is easy to maintain. The flow direction of the medium through this type of valve has changed, so the flow resistance of the electric shut-off valve is higher than that of other valves.

Selection of electric shut-off valve:
Commonly used electric globe valves are electric straight-through globe valves, electric throttle valves, electric angle globe valves, electric DC globe valves, electric plunger globe valves, etc. In addition to electric throttle valves, other electric globe valves generally do not Make high-pressure choices.
1. Angle type electric shut-off valve; in the angle type electric shut-off valve, the fluid only needs to change its direction once, so that the pressure drop through this valve is smaller than that of the conventional structure of the electric shut-off valve.
2. DC type electric shut-off valve; electric shut-off valve in the DC type or Y-shaped electric shut-off valve, the flow passage of the valve body is in a diagonal line with the main flow path, so that the degree of damage to the flow state is smaller than that of the conventional electric shut-off valve, so it passes The pressure loss of the valve is correspondingly small.
3. Plunger type electric shut-off valve: This type of electric shut-off valve is a modification of the conventional electric shut-off valve. In this valve, the disc and valve seat are usually designed based on the plunger principle. The valve clack is polished so that the plunger and the valve stem are connected, and the sealing is achieved by two elastic sealing rings sleeved on the plunger. The two elastic sealing rings are separated by a sleeve ring, and the sealing ring around the plunger is pressed firmly by the load exerted on the bonnet by the bonnet nut.
Electric shut-off valve application:
If the electric shut-off valve is used in high-pressure occasions, it is generally connected by butt welding, or electric angle type shut-off valve is used. According to the material, you can choose carbon steel or 304 stainless steel. If the temperature is relatively high, you need to choose chromium-molybdenum steel or chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel. The typical J941Y-170V electric high temperature and high pressure stop valve used in power plants.

Application of low temperature butterfly valve

June 22, 2021

Article title: Application of low temperature triple eccentric butterfly valve
With the rapid development of industrial technology, more stringent requirements have been put forward for valves, especially for butterfly valves used in low temperature media. In addition to meeting the performance of general valves, it is more important that butterfly valves seal under low temperature conditions. Reliability, flexibility of action and some other special requirements for cryogenic valves. Now combined with its structural characteristics, a brief introduction to the performance of the cryogenic butterfly valve is given. Remarks: The cryogenic butterfly valve we are talking about here specifically refers to the low temperature triple eccentric butterfly valve.

triple offset valve parts-after-cryogenic process

Requirements for sealing performance of low temperature triple eccentric butterfly valve:
There are two main reasons for the leakage of the low temperature triple eccentric butterfly valve, one is internal leakage; the other is external leakage.
1. Internal leakage of butterfly valve:
The main reason for the internal leakage of the valve is the deformation of the sealing pair in the low temperature state. When the temperature of the medium drops to a phase change of the material, the volume changes, which causes the sealing surface with high grinding accuracy to warp and deform, resulting in poor low-temperature sealing. We conducted a low temperature test on the DN250 valve. The medium was liquid nitrogen (-196 ℃) and the butterfly plate material was 1Cr18Ni9Ti (without low temperature treatment). It was found that the sealing surface warped and deformed up to about

cryogenic triple offset butterfly valve 1

0.12mm, which is the main cause of internal leakage. And if the plane seal of the butterfly valve is changed to a cone seal. The valve seat is an oblique cone ellipse sealing surface, which forms a sealing pair with a round elastic sealing ring embedded on the butterfly plate. The sealing ring can float radially in the butterfly plate groove. When the valve is closed, the elastic sealing ring first contacts the short axis of the elliptical sealing surface. As the valve stem rotates, the sealing ring is gradually pushed inward, forcing the elastic ring to contact the long axis of the oblique cone surface, and finally the elastic sealing ring All contact with the oval sealing surface. Its sealing is achieved by the deformation of the elastic ring. Therefore, when the valve body or butterfly plate is deformed at low temperature, it will be absorbed and compensated by the elastic sealing ring, and leakage and jamming will not occur. When the valve is opened, this elastic deformation disappears immediately, and there is basically no relative friction during the opening and closing process, so the service life is long.
2. Leakage of butterfly valve:
One is that when the valve and the pipeline are connected by flanges, leakage occurs due to the unsynchronized contraction and relaxation of the connecting gasket, connecting bolts, and connecting materials at low temperatures. Therefore, we changed the connection between the valve body and the pipeline from a flange connection to a welded structure to avoid low temperature leakage. The second is leakage at the valve stem and packing. Generally, most valve packing adopts F4 because of its good self-sliding performance, low friction coefficient (friction coefficient for steel f=0.05 ~ 0.1), and unique chemical stability, so it is widely used. However, F4 also has shortcomings. First, the tendency of cold flow is large; second, the linear expansion coefficient is large, and the cold shrinkage at low temperature causes leakage, which causes a large amount of ice at the valve stem, so that the valve fails to open. The low-temperature triple-eccentric butterfly valve developed for this purpose adopts a self-shrinking sealing structure, that is, taking advantage of the large expansion coefficient of F4, and achieves the purpose of sealing at room temperature and low temperature through the reserved gap.
Design requirements for low temperature triple eccentric butterfly valve body and stem bushing:
1. The structure and shape of the cryogenic valve shell. The correct selection of materials is of great significance to the normal and reliable operation of the valve. Compared with the stop valve and gate valve, the structural characteristics of the butterfly valve not only avoid the irregular shape and uneven shell wall thickness, which can cause problems at low temperatures. Due to the small size of the butterfly valve, the shape of the valve body is basically symmetrical, so the heat capacity is small; the pre-cooling consumption is also small; the shape is regular and it is convenient to take measures to keep the valve cold. ,
2. Selection of stem bushing: Some low-temperature triple-eccentric butterfly valves are in operation, the rotating parts of the valve are sticky, and seizure occurs from time to time. The main reason is: unreasonable selection of matching materials, too small pre-cooling clearance, and processing Causes such as low accuracy. In the development of cryogenic valves, a series of measures have been taken to prevent the occurrence of the above phenomena. For the upper and lower bushings of the valve stem, SF-1 type composite bearings with low friction coefficient and self-lubricating properties are selected, which can be suitable for some special needs of cryogenic valves. The metal-sealed butterfly valve has the characteristics that some ordinary valves do not have, especially the small flow resistance, reliable sealing, rapid opening and closing, and long service life. The triple eccentric metal sealing butterfly valve is sealed by the deformation of the elastic ring, so it does not need to rely on the force of the medium, so it can be used for two-way sealing.

Valve material and valve standards-(8)- Monel alloy application

September 7, 2020

4. Application of Monel alloy:
The A and E levels of M35-1, M35-2 and QQ-N2-88 are usually used to manufacture refined Monel alloy pumps,

buttefly valve stem shaft parts (6)

valves and accessories. The B-grade (3.5%Si) Monel alloy with the highest Si content is mainly used to manufacture shafts and wear-resistant rings that require good wear resistance due to its high strength, corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Class D (4.0% Si) Monel alloy is used to manufacture parts that require higher wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
Monel alloy valves have two types: integral and internal. The integral Monel alloy valve means that the valve shell and internal parts are all Monel, which is mainly used in the HF acid regeneration tower part of the alkylation unit of the refinery. Due to the high HF acid regeneration temperature (149°C) and high water content, an overall alloy valve is required. In addition, the overall Monel alloy valve is also used in the production of ashless additives for catalysts in refineries and high-concentration chlor-alkali systems in chlor-alkali plants. Situation.
The Monel alloy internal valve means that the valve housing is made of carbon steel or stainless steel, and the internal valve is made of Moenl alloy. The Monel alloy valve with carbon steel as the shell is mainly used in the low temperature area of the HF calculation system of the alkylation unit of the refinery. The use of carbon steel is good for low temperature (≤71°C) anhydrous hydrofluoric acid (HF) However, carbon steel will form a film on its surface due to corrosion when used in this working condition for a long time. If carbon steel is used in the valve sealing part, the film formed after corrosion will affect the sealing performance of the valve. It should be pointed out that the commonly used Cr13 type sealing material for carbon steel valves cannot resist the corrosion of HF acid, and the internal material is much cheaper for Monel alloy valves. The Monel alloy valve with carbon steel as the shell can also be used in working conditions such as sea water. The valve housing is made of stainless steel Monel alloy internal valve, which is used in ethylene, propylene, liquid oxygen, pure oxygen, sea water and other working conditions. The monolithic Monel alloy valve and Monel alloy internal valve used in the alkylation unit require a pressure level of CL300 from a safety point of view. The pressure level of Monel alloy internal valve for other working conditions is CL150 and CL300. Or PN116-614Mpa etc.
5. Melting and casting of monel alloy:
The smelting and casting technology of Monel alloy is the key to determine whether the qualified Monel alloy castings can be produced. Because Moenl alloy has developed dendrites, shrinkage cavities and porosity, the tendency of gas absorption (hydrogen absorption, oxygen absorption) is great, and it will Sulfurizing chemical reaction occurs with molding materials. From a safety point of view, Monel alloy valves are required to undergo radiographic inspection in accordance with Class A pipeline valves in highly toxic and dangerous media such as hydrofluoric acid, chlorine and hydrogen chloride gas. . Although the American standard points out that casting M35-1 can be welded, in fact its weldability is extremely poor, and the quality of repaired castings is difficult to guarantee. The density of M35-1 alloy is 8163t/m3 (at 20°C), the solidification shrinkage rate is 21mm/m, and the alloy melting point is 1315-1345°C. The Class A and Class E of M35-1, M35-2 and QQ-N2-88 are delivered as cast. Although there are many grades of cast Monel alloy, when used to cast Monel alloy valve castings, M35-1 in ASTMA494 is mainly used.
Cast Monel alloy and deformed Monel alloy have little change in chemical composition (Table 4), but this change satisfies its better deformability for deformation and gold, while it provides better casting for cast alloys. performance. This is the reason why cast Monel alloy grades are used when casting, and deformed Monel alloy grades are used when selecting rolling materials.
Table 4. Commonly used cast and deformed Monel alloy chemical composition of valves (%)

Grade name	chemical composition /%
Grade name	C	Mn	Si	P	S	Cu	Fe	Ni	others
M35-1	≤0.35	≤1.5	≤1.25	≤0.03	≤0.03	26-33	≤3.5	Ba
Monel400	≤0.30	≤2.0	≤0.5		≤0.024	Ba	≤2.5	63-70
MonelK500	≤0.25	≤1.5	≤0.5		≤0.01	Ba	≤2.0	63-70	Al2.5-3.5, Ti0.35-0.85

6. Conclusion
The current U.S. technical standards for Monel alloys include ASTM, SAE, AMS (American Aeronautical Standards Institute), MIL (U.S. Department of Defense Standards), ANSI, ASME and QQ (American Federal Standards). For the Monel alloy of the same grade, different technical specification systems are adopted, not only the representation method of the grade is different, but the number and content of the specification are not completely the same. Usually military products use MIL, QQ or AMS specifications, and civil products use ASTM and ASME specifications.

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

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.
