Installation instructions of the wafer type butterfly valve

Preparation before installation of wafer type butterfly valve:
1. Check whether the specifications and materials of the butterfly valve conform to the design before installation.

wafer type butterfly valve, EPDM seat (10)

wafer type butterfly valve, EPDM seat (10)

2. Before installation, clean the internal sand, dust, foreign matter and debris to avoid irregular movement or leakage.
3. The related piping should be properly suspended and fixed according to regulations before installation to avoid improper stress on the valve after installation.
4. The two flange faces of the piping must be aligned parallel and concentric.
5. No additional gasket is needed between butterfly valve and flange during installation.
6. Where the butterfly valve is close to the check valve or the pump, use a divergent joint between the two so that the valve disc will not be hindered from turning off.

Installation steps of wafer type butterfly valve:
1. Open the valve disc 10 degrees before installation. (The same before disassembly)
2. Set auxiliary screws at appropriate positions to adjust the distance between the two flange surfaces.
3. Insert the butterfly valve without touching the two flange surfaces and at the same time penetrate the remaining bolts.
4. After confirming that the center of the butterfly valve is concentric with the center of the flange and the switch position of the valve disc is not the inner diameter of the flange or the adjacent parts are obstructed, the bolts are locked repeatedly in a diagonal and gradual manner until the flange surface touches the end surface of the valve body.
5. After the installation is completed, the degree of full open and full close should be confirmed again.

Operation:
1. Before starting the operation, use air spray to remove foreign objects on the piping, and clean the inner surface of the piping with clean water.
2. Open the valve to check the angle indicator plate, avoid torsion exceeding the opening width, and the closing position cannot be exceeded.
3. The operation of the switch is completely based on the indicator. If other hand tools are applied, the angle indicating plate and the switch will be damaged.
4. When the pressure test of piping is to be done, the valve should be opened.
5. After piping, the valve is in a fully closed state for a long time, and it should be switched on and off once or twice a month to avoid fixation.

Comparison and analysis of the performance of the wafer butterfly valve

With the same nominal pressure and nominal diameter, ordinary which has better tightness and is not easy to leak? butterfly valve or gate valve?

wafer type butterfly valve, NBR seat (11)

wafer type butterfly valve, NBR seat (11)

The airtightness of the gate valve is better than that of the butterfly valve, but there are also manufacturers’ butterfly valves that have better airtightness.
The gate valve is large in size and takes up a lot of space.
The butterfly valve is small in size and takes up little space.

When selecting concretely, the temperature of the medium, the sealing of the valve and the packing should also be considered.
The specification stipulates that the butterfly valve with a nominal diameter greater than 50 is used.

Wafer butterfly valve is a national key new product. The high-performance manual butterfly valve adopts a double eccentric and a special oblique cone oval sealing structure. It solves the shortcoming of the traditional eccentric butterfly valve that the sealing surface is still in sliding contact friction at the moment of opening and closing 0°~10°, and the sealing surface of the butterfly plate is separated at the moment of opening, and the effect of sealing when the contact is closed is achieved to extend the service life and maximize the sealing performance.

What is a wafer type butterfly valve

The butterfly valve plate of the wafer type butterfly valve is installed in the diameter direction of the pipeline. In the cylindrical passage of the butterfly valve body,

Wafer type butterfly valve with worm gear

Wafer type butterfly valve with worm gear

the disc-shaped butterfly plate rotates around the axis, and the rotation angle is between 0°-90°. When the rotation reaches 90°, the valve is fully opened. This valve is generally installed horizontally. The wafer butterfly valve is simple in structure, small in size and light in weight, and consists of only a few parts. Moreover, it can be opened and closed quickly by rotating 90°, and the operation is simple. At the same time, the valve has good fluid control characteristics.

When the wafer type butterfly valve is in the fully open position, the thickness of the butterfly plate is the only resistance when the medium flows through the valve body, so the pressure drop generated by the valve is small, so it has better flow control characteristics. The butterfly valve has two sealing types: elastic seal and metal seal. Elastic sealing valve, the sealing ring can be embedded in the valve body or attached to the periphery of the butterfly plate.

Valves with metal seals generally have a longer life than valves with elastic seals, but it is difficult to achieve a complete seal. Metal seals can adapt to higher operating temperatures, while elastic seals have the defect of being limited by temperature.

If the wafer type butterfly valve is required to be used as a flow control, the main thing is to correctly select the size and type of the valve. The structure principle of the butterfly valve is especially suitable for making large diameter valves. 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.

Commonly used butterfly valves include wafer butterfly valves and flanged butterfly valves. Wafer type butterfly valve uses double-head bolts to connect the valve between two pipe flanges. Flange type butterfly valve has flanges on the valve, and bolts are used to connect the flanges at both ends of the valve to the pipe flanges.

Notes on selection and installation of butterfly valve

Product selection points of butterfly valves:
1. The main control parameter of the butterfly valve is the size.
2. The butterfly valve is a single-plate air valve. It has a simple structure, convenient processing, low cost, and easy operation, but the adjustment accuracy is poor. It

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

is only suitable for the occasion of switching or rough adjustment in the ventilation and air conditioning system.
3. It can be operated manually, electrically or by zipper, and can be fixed at any angle in the range of 90°.
4. Due to the single shaft and single valve plate, the bearing capacity is limited, and the service life of the valve is short under the condition of large pressure difference and large flow rate. The valve is divided into closed type and ordinary type, thermal insulation and non-thermal insulation.
5. The electric butterfly valve has only two-position control, and the electric actuator is the same as the multi-leaf valve.

Installation matters of butterfly valve:
The butterfly valve has a simple structure, small volume, light weight, and relatively few components. The key parts can form a butterfly valve. It is also very convenient to open. You only need to select the switch to ninety degrees. The butterfly valve The fluid control is very good, you can increase or decrease the flow at any time, the valve has a certain resistance when transporting any fluid, and the resistance of the butterfly valve mainly comes from its own, such as the thickness of the butterfly valve body, if you want to reduce the fluid The resistance only needs to reduce its thickness.
Elastic seals have the disadvantage of being limited by temperature.
Butterfly valves are also widely used. If they are used to control the flow rate, different types and sizes of valve bodies need to be selected, because butterfly valves are more suitable for valves with larger diameters when they are designed. Butterfly valves are not only widely used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, and water treatment, but also in cooling water systems of thermal power stations.

Applicable occasions of butterfly valve

Butterfly valves are suitable for flow regulation. Because the pressure loss of the butterfly valve in the pipeline is relatively large, the robustness of the butterfly plate to withstand the pressure of the pipeline medium when closing should also be considered. In addition, the working temperature limit of the elastic seat material

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

must be considered at high temperatures. The structure length and overall height of the butterfly valve are small, the opening and closing speed is fast, and it has good fluid control characteristics. The structure principle of the butterfly valve is most suitable for making large-diameter valves. When the butterfly valve is required for flow control, the most important thing is to correctly select the size and type of the butterfly valve so that it can work properly and effectively.

Generally, in throttling, adjustment control and mud medium, the structure length is required to be short, and the opening and closing speed is fast (1/4 turn). Low pressure cut-off (small differential pressure), butterfly valve is recommended.

Butterfly valve can be used when there are two-position adjustment, narrowing channel, low noise, cavitation and gasification, small leakage into the atmosphere, and abrasive media.

Throttle adjustment under special working conditions, or strict sealing requirements, or severe wear, low temperature (cryogenic) and other working conditions when using butterfly valves, need to use special design metal seal triple-eccentric or double eccentric Butterfly valve with adjustment device.

The butterfly valve is suitable for requirements to achieve complete sealing, zero gas test leakage, high life requirements, and operating temperature between -10 degrees and 150 degrees. Applicable medium is fresh water, sewage, sea water, salt water, steam, natural gas, food, medicine, oil products And various acids and bases.

The soft seal eccentric butterfly valve is suitable for bidirectional opening and closing and adjustment of the ventilation and dust removal pipeline, and is widely used in gas pipelines and water channels in metallurgy, light industry, electric power, and petrochemical systems.

The metal-to-metal line sealed double eccentric butterfly valve is suitable for gas, oil, acid and alkali pipelines such as urban heating, gas supply, water supply, etc., as a regulating and throttling device.

In addition to being used as a large-scale pressure swing adsorption (PSA) gas separation device program control valve, the metal-to-metal face sealed triple-eccentric butterfly valve can also be widely used in the fields of petroleum, petrochemical, chemical, metallurgy, electric power, etc. as replacement product.

How to choose the right butterfly valve (2)

However, the following problems still exist during the use of this butterfly valve:
1. Due to the multi-layer soft and hard laminated seal ring fixed on the valve plate, when the valve plate is normally open, the medium forms a frontal flush on the sealing surface. The soft sealing tape in the metal sheet interlayer is directly affected by the flushing, which directly affects the sealing performance.

U-type flange butterfly valve, ductile iron, DI, center line,

U-type flange butterfly valve, ductile iron, DI, center line,

2. Restricted by structural conditions, the structure is not suitable for valves with a diameter of DN200 or less, because the overall structure of the valve plate is too thick and the flow resistance is large.
3. Due to the principle of the three-eccentric structure, the sealing between the sealing surface of the valve plate and the valve seat is caused by the torque of the transmission device to press the valve plate against the valve seat. In the positive flow state, the higher the medium pressure, the tighter the seal extrusion. When the medium in the flow channel reverses flow, as the medium pressure increases, the unit positive pressure between the valve plate and the valve seat is less than the medium pressure, and the seal begins to leak.

The high-performance triple-eccentric bidirectional hard seal butterfly valve is characterized in that the valve seat sealing ring is composed of multiple layers of stainless steel sheets on both sides of a soft T-shaped sealing ring. The sealing surface of the valve plate and the valve seat is an oblique cone structure. The surface of the oblique cone of the valve plate is welded with a temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy material; the spring fixed between the pressure plate of the adjustment ring and the adjustment bolt of the pressure plate are assembled together.
This structure effectively compensates the tolerance zone between the shaft sleeve and the valve body and the elastic deformation of the valve stem under medium pressure, and solves the sealing problem of the valve in the process of bidirectional interchangeable medium transportation. The use of soft T-shaped multi-layer stainless steel sheets on both sides to form a sealing ring has the dual advantages of metal hard seal and soft seal. It has zero leakage sealing performance at low and high temperatures.
The test proves that when the pool is in the positive flow state (the medium flow direction is the same as the disc rotation direction), the pressure on the sealing surface is generated by the torque of the transmission device and the effect of the medium pressure on the valve plate. When the positive medium pressure increases, the tighter the surface of the valve plate oblique cone and the valve seat sealing surface are pressed, the better the sealing effect. In the reverse flow state, the seal between the valve plate and the valve seat is pressed against the valve seat by the torque of the driving device. As the pressure of the reverse medium increases, the unit positive pressure between the valve plate and the valve seat is less than the medium pressure, the deformation energy stored by the spring of the adjusting ring after being loaded compensates the tight pressure of the sealing surface of the valve plate and the valve seat Play the role of automatic compensation. Therefore, unlike the prior art, the utility model does not install soft and hard multi-layer sealing rings on the valve plate, but directly installs on the valve body. It is an ideal two-way hard sealing method to add an adjustment ring between the pressure plate and the valve seat. . It will replace gate valves, globe valves and ball valves.

When the butterfly valve is fully open to fully closed, it turns usually less than 90°. The butterfly valve and the butterfly stem itself have no self-locking capability. For the

U-type-flange-butterfly-valve-2

positioning of the butterfly plate, a worm gear reducer must be installed on the valve rod. The use of worm gear reducer can not only make the butterfly plate self-locking, stop the butterfly plate at any position, but also improve the valve performance. The characteristics of industrial special butterfly valve: can withstand high temperature, the applicable pressure range is also high, the nominal diameter of the valve is large, the valve body is made of carbon steel, and the sealing ring of the valve plate uses a metal ring instead of a rubber ring. Large high-temperature butterfly valves are manufactured by welding steel plates, and are mainly used for flue gas ducts and gas pipes of high-temperature media.

Selection:
The butterfly plate of the butterfly valve is installed in the diameter direction of the pipeline. The butterfly valve is simple in structure, small in size and light in weight. It is composed of only a few parts, and can be quickly opened and closed only by rotating 90°. The operation is simple, and the valve has good fluid control characteristics. When the butterfly valve is in the fully open position, the thickness of the butterfly plate is the resistance when the medium flows through the valve body. Therefore, the pressure drop generated by the valve is very small, so it has good flow control characteristics.

If the butterfly valve is required to be used as a flow control, the main thing is to choose the valve size and type correctly. The structural principle of the butterfly

valve is especially suitable for making large-diameter valves. Commonly used butterfly valves are wafer-type butterfly valves and flanged butterfly valves. Wafer type butterfly valve is to use double-headed bolt to connect the valve between two pipeline flanges. Flange type butterfly valve is to use the process of connecting the flange of the valve to the pipeline flange with bolts.

The butterfly valve has been widely used in many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, hydropower, etc. as a component used to realize the on-off and flow control of the pipeline system. In the well-known butterfly valve technology, the sealing form mostly adopts a sealing structure, and the sealing material is rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene and the like. Due to the limitation of structural characteristics, it is not suitable for industries such as high temperature, high pressure, corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

An existing more advanced butterfly valve is a three-eccentric metal hard-sealed butterfly valve. The valve body and valve seat are connected components. The sealing surface layer of the valve seat is welded with temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy materials. The multi-layer soft stack type sealing ring is fixed on the valve plate. Compared with the traditional butterfly valve, this butterfly valve has high temperature resistance, is easy to operate, and has no friction when opening and closing. When closing, the torque is compensated with the increase of the torque of the transmission mechanism, which improves the butterfly valve. The sealing performance and the advantages of extended service life.

Double flange butterfly valve (4)

Double flange butterfly valve (4)

The flanged butterfly valve has a vertical plate structure, and the valve stem is an integral type. Metal hard seal, valve sealing ring
It is a composite structure of flexible graphite plate and stainless steel plate, which is installed on the valve body, and the sealing surface of the butterfly plate is welded with stainless steel. The sealing ring of the soft seal valve is made of nitrile rubber, EPDM or VITON, and is installed on the butterfly plate. The sealing seat of the centerline sealed flange butterfly valve is directly fusion bonded on the valve body.
Flanged butterfly valves are divided into U-shaped butterfly valves and double-flanged butterfly valves according to the length of the structure. The U-type butterfly valve has a relatively short face to face structure, which reduces the weight of the valve body and saves space for use.

4. Welded butterfly valve
Welded butterfly valve is a non-hermetic butterfly valve, widely used in the construction materials, metallurgy, mining, electric power and other production processes, the medium temperature ≤300 ℃, the nominal pressure is 0.1Mpa pipeline, used to communicate, open or close or adjust the medium volume.

The electric regulating butterfly valve belongs to a variety of electric valves and electric regulating valves. The main connection methods are: flange type and wafer type, which are important execution units in the field of industrial automation control. Two major analysis points for the installation points of the electric adjustment butterfly valve: the installation position, height, and inlet and outlet directions must meet the design requirements. Note that the direction of the medium flow should be consistent with the direction of the arrow marked on the valve body, and the connection should be firm and tight. Before installing the electric butterfly valve, a visual inspection must be carried out. The nameplate of the valve should comply with the provisions of the current national standard “General Valve Mark” GB12220. For valves with a working pressure greater than 1.0 MPa and acting as a shut-off on the main pipe, a strength and tight performance test should be carried out before installation. Use only after passing the test. During the strength test, the test pressure is 1.5 times the nominal pressure, the duration is not less than 5min, and the valve housing and packing should be leak-free. The electric adjustable butterfly valve can be divided into offset plate type, vertical plate type, inclined plate type and lever type according to the structural form; according to the sealing form, it can be divided into two types: soft seal type and hard seal type; soft seal type generally adopts rubber ring seal, hard seal type Usually a metal ring seal is used.
