Advantages and Disadvantages of Centerline Butterfly Valves

August 16, 2022

Advantages of Centerline Butterfly Valves
The centerline butterfly valve adopts the centerline sealing structure, and the centerline of the disc sealing of the butterfly valve is consistent with the centerline of the valve body and the rotation centerline of the valve stem. The upper and lower ends of the butterfly plate near the

valve stem are designed as two smooth planes, and are in close contact with the valve seat gasket made of rubber to ensure that the medium does not leak from both ends; the outer edge of the butterfly plate is designed as a spherical outer edge, It should be ensured that the arc surface has a suitable surface roughness during processing, and the seat gasket should ensure that the sealing surface has a suitable surface roughness during molding. When the valve is closed, the butterfly plate rotates 0-900 degrees, and gradually compresses the valve seat gasket made of rubber, so that the elastic force formed by the elastic deformation of the valve seat gasket is used as the necessary sealing pressure to ensure the sealing of the valve.
The centerline butterfly valve is designed to reduce flow resistance:
1) The channel is designed as a full-diameter structure, which ensures the flow area of the valve and reduces the flow resistance when the fluid passes through the valve.
2) The butterfly plate adopts the disc-shaped streamline design, which can not only ensure the stress intensity in the center of the butterfly plate, but also ensure that the valve can obtain a larger flow coefficient and a smaller fluid resistance coefficient.
3) The valve seat sealing ring is designed as a soft sealing structure of rubber and resin skeleton (fixed sleeve), which is embedded in the valve body after being manufactured. The part of the inner ring higher than the inner cavity of the valve body adopts a streamline design to achieve the purpose of reducing the flow resistance.

Disadvantages of Centerline Butterfly Valves
Because of its own structure, the centerline butterfly valve can only be made into a soft-sealed butterfly valve, so the centerline butterfly valve can only be used in the working environment of low pressure and normal temperature, and is not suitable for high temperature and high pressure conditions.
The above is the introduction of the advantages and disadvantages of the centerline butterfly valve

Installation and operation method of manual butterfly valve

August 8, 2022

The most common driving methods for butterfly valves are manual, pneumatic, hydraulic and electric. This article mainly introduces the manual butterfly valve. Manual butterfly valve can be subdivided into handle butterfly valve and turbine butterfly valve. The two have no major impact on the installation of manual butterfly valves, and the difference lies more in the operation and use.

Installation precautions for manual butterfly valve
1. Before installing the manual butterfly valve, it is necessary to first confirm whether the product is suitable for the working conditions of the medium in the pipeline. The interior of the butterfly valve must be clean, including the sealing ring, valve shaft, and butterfly plate. There must be no foreign matter. Do not close the butterfly plate before cleaning the butterfly valve to prevent damage to the sealing ring.
2. The wafer type manual butterfly valve needs to use the special flange for butterfly valve during installation.
3. It is best to install it vertically on the pipeline, not upside down.
4. When it is necessary to adjust the flow, it is recommended to use a turbine butterfly valve.
5. After installation, every part of the valve should be checked regularly during use, and faults should be eliminated in time.

How to operate a manual butterfly valve
From the above, we know that manual butterfly valves are divided into handle butterfly valves and turbo butterfly valves, and their operation methods will of course be different. The operation of the handle butterfly valve is to pull the handle, turn it counterclockwise to open the valve, and turn it clockwise to close the valve. The turbine butterfly valve is to install a worm gear reducer on the valve stem of the butterfly valve. The turbine device makes the operation of the butterfly valve more labor-saving, copes with a larger medium pressure environment, and also improves the operability of the valve.
If the diameter of the butterfly valve is less than 150mm, it is recommended to use the handle to drive it. If the diameter of the butterfly valve exceeds 150mm, it is recommended to use the turbine device, which is more labor-saving to operate. The maximum diameter of the handle butterfly valve can only be 250mm. If it exceeds this maximum diameter, it is no longer applicable and needs to be equipped with an electric or pneumatic actuator.
In industrial engineering, we recommend the use of turbo butterfly valves, because in addition to saving labor, turbo butterfly valves have better sealing performance than handle butterfly valves. Another point is that in the pipeline with high switching frequency, the service life of the turbine butterfly valve is higher than that of the handle butterfly valve.

Stem structure and Integral Seat of centerline wafer butterfly valve

July 25, 2022

The centerline wafer butterfly valve can be divided into two types: pinless butterfly valve and pinned butterfly valve. The main difference between them is whether the valve plate and valve stem are fixed with pins. The pinned butterfly valve and the pinless butterfly valve

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

correspond to the needs of different working conditions, and more depends on the needs of users. Because the process of the pinless butterfly valve is more effective and more complicated, and there is no pin hole on the surface of the butterfly plate, its price will also be a little more expensive than that of the butterfly valve with a pin. And relatively speaking, it does not appear pitting corrosion and point leakage. Now let’s take a look at the pinless structure of the centerline wafer butterfly valve:

Centerline Wafer Type Butterfly Valve Double Half Shaft Structure
The double half shaft is a kind of structural performance of the midline wafer butterfly valve, also called the square shaft. Corresponding to it is the through shaft. Double semi-shaft means that there is a shaft on the upper and lower sides of the valve plate of the butterfly valve. The upper shaft and the valve stem are integrally formed to act as a transmission, and the lower shaft is a circular shaft, which plays the role of positioning the valve plate. Since the connection between the upper shaft, the valve stem and the valve plate is usually through a square shaft – a square hole, there are also hexagonal connections. Therefore, the processing of the valve plate is usually processed by punching, slotting or EDM, and the processing efficiency is low. In addition, the lower shaft also needs to pass through the through hole at the bottom of the valve body to be installed. After that, a gasket and a retaining ring need to be added to the bottom to fix the lower shaft. The processing and assembly of the valve body also increases the difficulty. Therefore, this structure is only used in large sizes now.

Large and small head shaft structure of centerline wafer butterfly valve
The stem of this midline wafer type butterfly valve is a flat shaft that passes through the valve plate. At the lower end, the diameter is reduced to a size smaller than the flat hole of the valve plate to pass through the valve plate, and the bottom of the valve body is positioned to ensure the valve Concentricity and symmetry of the plate. The processing of the through hole of the valve plate only requires a high degree of coaxiality of the single-side feed. In addition, there is no through hole at the bottom of the valve body, which also avoids external pollution caused by the leakage of the valve body. However, due to the variable diameter of the valve stem and the valve body, the processing cost is appropriately increased, and the upper and lower holes of the valve seat are not of equal diameter, which is easy to cause errors in the assembly process.

Equal Diameter Flat Shaft for Centerline Wafer Type Butterfly Valve
The structure of this midline wafer butterfly valve is evolved from the structure of the large and small head shafts. The valve stem is an equal-diameter shaft. The bottom is processed into double D type and the valve plate forms a close fit to ensure the transmission of the valve plate. It is also a flat hole, but the direction of the flat hole is rotated by a 90°, so as to ensure that when the valve is at the closing point or close to the closing point, the valve stem is in contact with the valve body bushing with a circular surface to ensure the symmetry of the valve plate and the same The axial degree can not only avoid the bending deformation of the valve stem but also make the valve close tightly. Since the valve body and seat are the same size in both directions, the efficiency can be greatly improved during processing and assembly. This kind of structure is simple and practical, and has the characteristics of high processing efficiency, quick assembly, tight coordination, economical saving and so on.

We all know that the seal of the centerline wafer butterfly valve is inseparable from the sealant sleeve, and the integral sealant sleeve is actually a wafer-type butterfly valve with a reliable sealing and leak-proof valve seat. It includes the annular valve body of the upper and lower valve necks, the annular valve seat embedded on the inner wall of the valve body, the butterfly plate, and the valve body which is rotatably installed on the valve body through the valve seat and the butterfly plate through the upper and lower valve necks. The valve stem and the transmission device, the valve seat is composed of an annular skeleton and an integral sealant sleeve formed integrally with it.

The integral sealant sleeve of the midline wafer butterfly valve consists of an inner wall sealant layer covering the inner wall of the skeleton and an end face sealant layer covering the two ends of the skeleton respectively. It is characterized in that the two end-face sealant layers are divided into a circumferential extension edge covering the end face of the annular valve body, and the extension edge of one end-face sealant layer is integrally and fixedly connected with the end-face sealant layer. The fixed epitaxial edge of the end face sealant layer on the other side and the end face sealant layer are detachably connected movable epitaxial edges.

The birth of this midline wafer butterfly valve seat is that the butterfly valve, as a fluid pipeline valve, has very strict requirements on its tightness. However, the current wafer butterfly valve still has the problem of running and dripping, which affects the normal use. Therefore, how to improve the structure of the valve seat has become a concern. However, the integral sealing valve seat, which is reliably sealed against leakage, can completely cover and seal the joint between the valve seat and the annular inner wall of the valve body. Therefore, it can effectively prevent the fluid in the pipeline from entering the valve body, effectively avoid the leakage of the valve caused by engineering construction and other reasons, and ensure the normal operation of the valve. In addition, the structure of the fixed epitaxial edge and the movable epitaxial edge is also convenient to assemble and use. While ensuring the quality of the project, it saves costs and is suitable for market promotion.

What are the advantages of gate valves-resilient & metal seated

April 15, 2022

The gate valve has an opening and closing 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

DN1000-DIN-F5-NRS gate valve-IS&Y (6)

valve is sealed by the contact between the valve seat and the gate plate. Usually, the sealing surface will be surfacing with metal materials to increase wear resistance, such as surfacing 1Cr13, STL6, stainless steel, etc. The gate has a rigid gate and an elastic gate. According to the different gates, the gate valve is divided into a rigid gate valve and an elastic gate valve.
Gate valve is a kind of valve with a large number of consultations every day. It is often used in water supply systems. The advantages of gate valves are:
1. Small flow resistance. The medium channel inside the valve body is straight, and the medium flows in a straight line. When the gate is fully opened, the internal resistance of the valve body channel is almost zero, and the flow resistance is very small.
2, opening and closing labor-saving. Whether the gate valve is open or closed, the movement direction of the gate is perpendicular to the flow direction of the medium, and the resistance of the gate to the lifting movement is also very small, and it is very labor-saving to open and close.
3. The full opening and full closing of the gate valve requires a long stroke, and the closing time is relatively long, which also makes the water hammer phenomenon less likely to occur.
4. The two sides of the gate valve channel are symmetrical, and the installation is not restricted by the flow direction of the medium, which is convenient for installation.
5. The shape is simple, the length of the structure is short, the manufacturing process is good, and the scope of application is wide.
6. Wide range of uses, gate valves are made of gray cast iron, ductile iron, cast steel, stainless steel, forged steel and other materials. Different materials can be used in different working conditions and environments, and have a wide range of applications.
Precautions for installation and use of gate valve
1. The handwheel, handle and transmission mechanism are not allowed to be used for lifting, and collision is strictly prohibited.
2. The double gate gate valve should be installed vertically (that is, the valve stem is in the vertical position and the handwheel is at the top).
3. The gate valve with bypass valve should open the bypass valve before opening (to balance the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet and reduce the opening force).
4. The gate valve with transmission mechanism shall be installed according to the provisions of the product instruction manual.
5. If the valve is frequently switched on and off, lubricate it at least once a month.
6. The gate valve is only used to fully open and fully close the medium on various pipelines or equipment, and is not allowed to be used for throttling.
7. For gate valves with handwheels or handles, auxiliary levers should not be added during operation (if the sealing is not tight, the sealing surface or other parts should be checked and repaired). Turn the handwheel and handle clockwise to close, and vice versa. The gate valve with transmission mechanism should be used in accordance with the stipulations in the product instruction manual.

The difference between a metal seated gate valve and a resilient seated gate valve:

What are the differences between hard sealing gate valves and soft sealing gate valves? This article will introduce you.

material difference:
The material of the hard sealing gate valve body is mainly cast steel, stainless steel and forged steel. The gate plate and internal flow channel seal are all made of Stellite alloy accumulation welding.
The material of the soft-sealed gate valve body is mostly cast iron, the valve plate is covered with rubber, the appearance of the soft-sealed gate valve, and the valve wall of the flow channel side are all sprayed with electrostatic powder. Not only is the appearance beautiful, but more importantly, the smoothness of the flow channel and the inner valve wall ensures that the rubber-lined gate will not be affected by the roughness of the inner valve wall when opening and closing.

difference in use:
Soft-sealed gate valve is suitable for non-corrosive gas-liquid medium at normal temperature (≤80℃). Such as water, air, oil, water treatment sewage and other pipelines. And has a good sealing effect, almost zero leakage can be achieved.
The hard-sealed gate valve is suitable for high temperature (≤425℃) with slightly corrosive gas and liquid. Such as steam, heat transfer oil, sewage, petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, pipeline. Can have a certain degree of wear resistance.

To sum up, the difference between a soft-sealed gate valve and a hard-sealed gate valve is that the sealing performance of the soft-sealed gate valve is better than that of the hard-sealed gate valve, but the temperature and wear resistance of the hard-sealed gate valve is better than that of the soft-sealed gate valve. Each has advantages and disadvantages.

Structure diagram of triple eccentric butterfly valve

March 24, 2022

With the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of production technology, the industrial requirements for butterfly valves are no longer simple cut-off and adjustment of normal temperature and low pressure media, but also require butterfly valves to play a role in high temperature and high pressure environments. For this reason, the triple eccentric butterfly valve was born, and has replaced the application of some gate valves, globe valves, ball valves and other valves in the industry. What is the structure of the triple eccentric butterfly valve? What are the structural characteristics of the triple eccentric butterfly valve?

Triple eccentric butterfly valve structure

triple eccentric butterfly valve structure diagram

The triple eccentric butterfly valve is a hard-sealed butterfly valve. This kind of butterfly valve adopts the triple eccentric sealing structure and has the characteristics of compact structure, fast opening and closing speed, labor-saving and light operation, and reliable sealing performance. It is suitable for pipelines under various working conditions. media flow. Three eccentric butterfly valves are currently widely used in electric power, metallurgy, petroleum, chemical industry, urban heating and other industries.

D673H-16C-stainless steel pneumatic triple eccentric butterfly valve

1. The shape of the sealing surface of the valve body and the butterfly plate is an elliptical cone, and the center line of the sealing cone surface of the valve body and the butterfly plate has an eccentric angle c° with the center line of the valve body channel.
2. There is an axial eccentricity a between the center line of the valve body and the disc sealing surface and the valve stem shaft.
3. There is a radial eccentricity b between the center line of the valve stem and the center line of the valve body.

Triple eccentric butterfly valve sealing principle
On the basis of the double eccentric sealing butterfly valve, the center line of the valve seat and the center line of the valve body form a β angle offset. When the triple eccentric sealing butterfly valve is in a fully open state, the sealing surface of the valve plate will be completely separated from the sealing surface of the valve seat. , and the same gap y as the double eccentric sealing butterfly valve is formed between the sealing surface of the valve plate and the sealing surface of the valve seat. When the valve plate of this type of butterfly valve is opened from 0° to 90°, the sealing surface of the valve plate will be separated from the sealing surface of the valve seat at the moment of opening. When it is closed at 90° to 0°, only at the moment of closing, the sealing surface of the valve plate will contact and press the sealing surface of the valve seat.

This is the three eccentricities of the triple eccentric butterfly valve. So what are the characteristics of the triple eccentric butterfly valve structure?
1. The unique triple eccentric design, the friction coefficient between the valve body and the sealing surface of the disc is extremely small, which reduces the wear of the sealing surface and prolongs the service life of the valve.
2. The eccentric design reduces the opening and closing torque of the valve, and the opening and closing is more rapid.
3. The valve body and the disc are directly conical, as shown in the figure above, when the disc is closed, the medium exerts pressure on the disc. The conical design makes the valve more tightly closed, realizing automatic sealing and greatly improving Improve the sealing performance and truly achieve zero leakage.
4. It can be equipped with different driving methods according to customer needs or working conditions, such as installing pneumatic and electric actuators to realize automatic operation of triple eccentric butterfly valves.
5. The sealing ring on the butterfly plate is made of stainless steel sheet and flexible graphite. It has the rigidity of metal and the elasticity of non-metal, and also makes the triple eccentric butterfly valve have the advantages of metal hard sealing and elastic sealing at the same time. Good sealing performance can be achieved in low temperature environment or high temperature working condition.

Title: How to install wafer butterfly valve

In this article, let’s talk about the installation method of the wafer butterfly valve. Wafer type is a connection method of butterfly valve, that is, when installing on the pipeline, it is necessary to clamp the butterfly valve with two pieces of flanges, and then connect it with the flange on the pipeline. Corresponding to it is another connection method of butterfly valve, flange type. The installation of flanged butterfly valve will be shared with you in the future. Today we mainly talk about how to install the wafer butterfly valve in the form of pictures and texts.

JIS 10K-wafer butterfly valve-backup seat (4)

The structure of the wafer butterfly valve is relatively short and takes up little space. During installation, use the special flange for the wafer butterfly valve to fix it, and then put the fixed wafer flange into the middle of the flanges at both ends of the pipeline, and use bolts to fix it. The control of the fluid medium in the pipeline can be realized by fixing it through the special flange of the wafer butterfly valve and the pipeline flange (if there is no flange on the pipeline, the special flange for the butterfly valve needs to be welded on the pipeline). The wafer type butterfly valve occupies a small space, which makes it especially suitable for installation and use in situations where the space is narrow or the distance between pipes is relatively small.
The specific installation steps of the wafer butterfly valve are as follows:
1. Place the wafer butterfly valve between the two pre-installed special flanges for wafer butterfly valves, and pay attention to align the flange bolt holes with the round holes of the butterfly valve body.

2. Insert the bolts and nuts into the flange holes to connect the valve body and the flange, and correct the flatness in the method, but be careful not to overtighten the bolts and nuts.

3. Weld the flange on the pipe, this step should be done by spot welding.

4. Remove the wafer butterfly valve first.

5. Weld the two flanges on the pipe completely to complete the fixation.

6. After the weld between the flange and the pipe is cooled, install the wafer butterfly valve. At this time, pay attention to opening the butterfly plate a little.

7. Correct the installation position of the butterfly valve again, and tighten the bolts, but be careful not to over-tighten them.

8. Fully open the butterfly plate of the butterfly valve to ensure that the butterfly plate of the butterfly valve can be opened and closed freely.

9. Cross the bolts again and tighten them evenly;

10. After the above steps are completed, test the opening and closing of the butterfly valve again to ensure that the valve can open and close freely.

The above is the introduction of butterfly valve installation steps. Here, I would like to tell all friends who purchase butterfly valves. Before installing the wafer butterfly valve, pay attention to the handling and do not bump it at will. After installation, non-professionals should not disassemble it casually.

Manual wafer butterfly valve installation skills

1. Storage work before installation: Store the manual wafer butterfly valve in a cool, dry and ventilated environment, and cover the valve to prevent the valve from being contaminated with dust and all debris.
2. Before the wafer butterfly valve is installed on the pipeline, the pipeline needs to be calibrated, and the positions of the pipes at both ends cannot be deviated. Body strain or rupture.
3. Before the valve is installed, the valve and all installed pipelines should be cleaned again to ensure that the inside of the valve and the pipeline is completely clean, and no dust is left.
4. Manual wafer butterfly valve belongs to manual butterfly valve, which requires frequent manual operation. Therefore, there are also requirements for the installation position of the manual butterfly valve. The installation position of the valve must be convenient for personnel to operate and maintain in the future. It has been demonstrated that the best position for manual valve installation is about 1.2 meters from the operating floor. For valves installed outdoors, cover the valve with some covering to prevent bad weather from affecting the valve.
5. When installing on the pipeline, make sure that the butterfly plate is in a closed state, so as to avoid collision and damage between the butterfly plate and the pipeline flange, which will affect the sealing performance.
6. After the manual wafer butterfly valve is installed, if there is an opening and closing failure during use, it is necessary to find out the cause and eliminate the failure. It cannot be forced to open and close by beating, prying or brute force.
The above is the whole content of the “manual wafer butterfly valve installation skills” introduced for you. Here, the editor also reminds everyone that after the valve is installed, it must be regularly maintained during the use of the valve. work, so as to ensure the normal and smooth operation of the valve. If you have purchase requirements for manual wafer butterfly valves, you are welcome to consult the official website of Tanghai Valve.

Advantages of the handle butterfly valve of Tanghai valve manufacturer

March 8, 2022

What are the advantages of handle butterfly valve? To understand this, let’s first understand the handle butterfly valve. The handle butterfly valve is a kind of manual butterfly valve. The common materials for making the handle butterfly valve are gray cast iron, ductile iron, cast steel, stainless steel, etc. The handle butterfly valve is the most common pipeline accessory in the pipeline system. It is generally required to be installed horizontally, and the

butterfly plate of the handle butterfly valve is installed in the diameter direction of the pipeline. The switch operation is also very simple and convenient. Rotate the handle, the handle drives the valve stem to rotate, and the circular butterfly plate rotates around the valve stem. Usually, it is turned on by turning counterclockwise, and turned off by turning clockwise. The rotation angle is 0°-90°. Between °, when the disc rotates to 90°, the valve is fully open.
The handle butterfly valve has a simple structure and small volume. It can be seen in the water treatment, urban water supply and drainage, petroleum, chemical industry, and even the cooling water system of the thermal power station.

JIS 10K-wafer butterfly valve-backup seat (4)

Tanghai Valve is committed to providing high-quality valve products and services to the society. The handle butterfly valve has always been our flagship product and one of the most satisfied products for customers. So in the highly competitive valve market, what are the advantages of the handle butterfly valve of Tanghai valve manufacturers?

1. Different handle design
The handle end of the handle butterfly valve adopts a humanized arc structure, which will not let the operator hurt his hand during operation, and it is more labor-saving to open and close.

2. Stainless steel handle bolts and disc pins
The bolts used on the handle and the pins on the butterfly plate are all made of stainless steel, and the corrosion resistance is more than 10 times that of ordinary products, making it safer to use.

3. Reinforcement at both ends of the butterfly plate
In order to prevent the instantaneous impact of the flowing medium to break the butterfly plate after the butterfly valve is installed, four reinforcing ribs are specially added at both ends of the butterfly plate.

4. Valve seat for vulcanization process
In order to ensure the sealing performance of the valve, the valve seat adopts the vulcanization process, which makes the valve seat and the valve body fit better, and the sealing surface is wider, which is more reliable than the sealing performance of ordinary butterfly valves.

5. Valve body painted with epoxy paint
If the butterfly valve is installed outdoors, the valve body is exposed, and it is easy to rust, which affects the service life of the valve. For this reason, Tanghai Valve specially sprays the valve body with epoxy resin paint, which makes the valve body of the butterfly valve more resistant to oxidation and can be safely installed outdoors.

6. Pressure test higher than the national standard

Introduction and Description of Pneumatic Butterfly Valves

February 25, 2022

This article gives an introduction and description of the pneumatic butterfly valve. Pneumatic butterfly valve is a control terminal installed on industrial pipelines. Like electric butterfly valve, it belongs to automatic control valve. Pneumatic butterfly valves are now widely used in petroleum, chemical, electric power, metallurgy and other industries. They are usually used in pipelines in these industries and are not suitable for manual operation.

The working principle of pneumatic butterfly valve
The pneumatic butterfly valve absorbs dry and lubricated gases through positioners, solenoid valves or other equipment, controls them, and transmits these gases to the cylinder of the pneumatic actuator. This is the air source for the pneumatic actuator to work. When the cylinder is When the internal air source is introduced into the air chamber of the pneumatic actuator, the air pressure acts on the piston, and the generated thrust drives the output shaft to rotate, and at the same time drives the valve stem and the butterfly plate to rotate, thereby completing an opening and closing action of the butterfly valve. Adding a valve positioner to the pneumatic butterfly valve can also realize the precise opening adjustment of the butterfly valve. In addition, an intelligent positioner can also be used to connect with the field bus, so as to achieve the purpose of detecting the working state of the pneumatic butterfly valve and provide diagnosis.
Under the action of the pneumatic actuator, the pneumatic butterfly valve can open and close flexibly and quickly, which ensures the safety of the pipeline. It is a control valve that is used more in industrial pipelines. The parameters of the pneumatic butterfly valve can be divided into two parts, one is the basic parameters of the butterfly valve itself, and the other is the basic parameters of the pneumatic actuator.

Installation and debugging of pneumatic butterfly valve
1. Before installing and using the pneumatic butterfly valve, thoroughly clean the valve body and pneumatic device of the butterfly valve.
2. Before installation, check whether the coating of the pneumatic butterfly valve is damaged. If any damage is found, please find a professional to repair it.
3. Like the electric butterfly valve, the installation area of the pneumatic butterfly valve is generally in a working condition with a certain risk factor. In this working condition, if the valve is to be moved, an accident may occur. At this time, the site must be covered with a suitable cover. Protect it.
4. The installation position of the solenoid valve should be as close as possible to the execution cylinder, and it must be as close as possible to the execution cylinder. The size of the air pipe is related to the air capacity. Before installing the pneumatic butterfly valve, the air intake hole and the solenoid valve must be kept clean. Cylinder actuators need to be lubricated.
5. The switch of the pneumatic butterfly valve must be too fast to avoid the pressure hitting the inside of the valve body and causing danger.
The above has made a simple price and description for the working principle, parameter information and installation and debugging of the pneumatic butterfly valve. If you have purchase requirements for the pneumatic butterfly valve, you are welcome to call the Tanghai Valve Hotline for consultation.

Structural Characteristics and application of Centerline Butterfly Valves

February 23, 2022

Centerline butterfly valve is one of the most common types of butterfly valves, mainly including centerline wafer butterfly valve and centerline flanged butterfly valve. In today’s article, we mainly talk about the structural characteristics and usage instructions of the centerline butterfly valve.

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.
