Marine Butterfly Valves are Used to Close or Open the Medium in the Ballistic Channel (Tanghai Valve)

October 23, 2023

Valve selection of a single variety of valve goods, marine valve speech is inconsistent, partly by use (such as chemical, alcohol, power station, etc.), partly by medium (such as water vapor, atmosphere valve, etc.), partly by material (such as pig iron valve, cast steel valves, forged steel valves, etc.), partly by the way of connection (such as fingerprints, flange valves, etc.), and partly by the measurement (such as high-temperature valves, low-temperature valves, etc.). The following is a list of the most common types of pressure reducing valves for marine use.

Marine pressure reducing valve – used to actively elevate the ballistic and facilities within the medium pressure. Marine pressure-reducing valve medium through the valve flap gap, marine pressure-reducing valve occurs barrier formation pressure loss, to reach the means of pressure reduction. Trap – used to steam ballistic actively remove condensate, to prevent the loss of steam or leakage. Marine butterfly valve is used to close or open the ballistic medium. Can also be used for conditioning. Insurance valve – used in boilers, ware facilities and ballistic, when the media pressure stumbles over the rule value, can actively remove the excess media pressure, to protect the consumption of operational insurance.

In the power station valves can master the boiler and steam engine operation; in alcohol, chemical consumption, the valve also plays a role in mastering the whole consumer facilities and process line of the abnormal operation. In other units are also like that. In spite of this, valves are often ignored by the crowd compared with other goods. Similarly: when installing tools and facilities, people often focus on the main tools and facilities range. Therefore, for the valve selection, installation, use and so on need to be careful.

Medium temperature for butterfly valves of different materials

September 30, 2021

In the large number of butterfly valve enquiries made by Tanghai Valve every day, “medium temperature” is a frequently mentioned term. Because the different types of media have a great influence on the selection of valve varieties. Whether the medium is an ordinary liquid, a highly corrosive special medium, or a cement-like turbid

Double flange butterfly valve (7)

medium, all correspond to different valve types. Whether the medium is high temperature or low temperature also determines which material of the butterfly valve is more suitable and durable. Now let’s take a look at the medium temperature of various butterfly valve materials.
The main material involved here is the body and bonnet material of the butterfly valve. The corresponding medium temperature is as follows:
Cast iron-the highest temperature of the applicable medium is 300℃;
Nodular cast iron-the highest temperature of the applicable medium is 350℃;
Stainless steel ——The highest temperature of applicable medium is 600℃;
Polytetrafluoroethylene——Maximum operating temperature of applicable medium: -180~150℃;
Rubber —— The highest operating temperature of the applicable medium: natural rubber 60℃; nitrile rubber and neoprene rubber 80℃; fluorine rubber 150℃. When the valve lining is made of rubber or plastic, its temperature resistance shall prevail.
Gray cast iron-the highest temperature of the applicable medium is 250℃;
High silicon cast iron-the highest temperature of the applicable medium is 120℃;
Carbon steel-the highest temperature of the applicable medium is 425℃ (if 16Mn, 30Mn forgings can reach 450℃);
Alloy steel-the highest temperature of the applicable medium is 550℃;
Copper alloy-the highest temperature of the applicable medium is 200℃;
Titanium-the highest temperature of the applicable medium is 300℃;
In addition, there are relatively special ceramic and glass butterfly valves, which have poor temperature resistance and are generally used below 90°C. The temperature resistance of the enamel valve is limited by the material of the sealing ring, and the maximum medium temperature exceeds 150℃.
Among the above various butterfly valve materials, cast iron butterfly valves, spheroidal ink butterfly valves, stainless steel butterfly valves, PTFE butterfly valves, and rubber butterfly valves are widely used and have better overall performance. They also occupy a large number of daily orders for Tanghai valves. The proportion of products is very popular in the market. Tanghai Valve produces butterfly valve products of various specifications and materials. With 24 years of industry experience, I believe you will definitely choose your favorite high-quality butterfly valve here.

Common failures of butterfly valves and the characteristics of installation

July 17, 2020

Common errors of butterfly valves:
The rubber elastomer in the butterfly valve will tear, wear, aging, perforate or even fall off during continuous use. The traditional thermal vulcanization process is

Double flange butterfly valve (16)

difficult to meet the needs of on-site repair. Special equipment is used for repair, which consumes a lot of heat and electricity, which takes time and effort. Today, we use new method gradually of adopting polymer composite materials to replace traditional methods. The superior adhesion and excellent wear and tear resistance of its products ensure that the repair cycle reaches or even exceeds the life cycle of new parts, greatly reducing downtime.

Installation and maintenance of butterfly valves:
1. During installation, the valve disc should stop at the closed position.
2. The opening position should be determined according to the rotation angle of the butterfly valve disc.
3. Butterfly valves with bypass valves should be opened before opening.
4. The installation should be carried out according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions. The heavy butterfly valve should be installed with a solid foundation.

Construction and installation points
1. The installation position, height, and direction of entrance and exit must meet the design requirements, and the connection should be firm and tight. The handles of all kinds of manual valves installed on thermal insulation pipes must not be downward.
2. The valve must be visually inspected before installation, and the nameplate of the valve should comply with the customer’s national standards. For valves with a working pressure greater than 1.0 MPa and acting as a shut-off on the main pipe, strength and tightness performance tests should be carried out before installation, and qualified before use. 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. During the tightness test, the test pressure is 1.1 times the nominal pressure; the test pressure lasts no less than 120 seconds during the test, and the valve flap sealing surface is qualified as no leakage.

The advantages and disadvantages of butterfly valves

July 10, 2020

Advantages of butterfly valve:

1. Convenient opening and closing, labor saving, low fluid resistance, and can be operated frequently.

wafer type butterfly valve, NBR seat (11)

2. The structure is simple, the external dimensions are small, the structural length is short, the volume is small, and the weight is light. It is suitable for valves with large diameter.

3. Mud can be transported, and the least liquid is accumulated in the pipe mouth.

4. Under low pressure, a good seal can be achieved.

5. Good adjustment performance.

6. When fully opened, the effective flow area of the valve seat channel is large, and the fluid resistance is small.

7. The opening and closing torque is small, because the butterfly plates on both sides of the rotating shaft are basically the same under the action of the medium, and the direction of generating torque is opposite, so the opening and closing are more labor-saving.

8. The sealing surface material is generally rubber, plastic, so the low-pressure sealing performance is good.

9. Easy installation.

10. Flexible and labor-saving operation, you can choose manual, electric, pneumatic, hydraulic mode.

Disadvantages of butterfly valve:

1. The operating pressure and operating temperature range are small.

2. Poor sealing.

Butterfly valves can be divided into offset plate type, vertical plate type, inclined plate type and lever type according to the structure.

According to the sealing form, it can be soft-sealed or hard-sealed. The soft seal type generally uses a rubber ring seal, and the hard seal type usually uses a metal ring seal.

According to the connection type, it can be divided into flange connection and wafer connection; according to the transmission mode, it can be divided into manual, gear transmission, pneumatic, hydraulic and electric.

Installation requirements for manual butterfly valves

July 2, 2012

1. Before installing the manual butterfly valve, do not throw it away at random. It needs to be placed in a cool, dry and ventilated environment, and it must be covered well to prevent the valve from being contaminated with dust and other debris, which affects the later use.

2. Before installing on the pipeline, the pipeline must be calibrated first. The positions of the pipelines at both ends must be

wafer-type-butterfly-valve-with-handle-13

consistent, and there must be no deviation. Otherwise, if the manual butterfly valve is installed when the pipeline deviates, it will cause tension on the valve body. Or the impact of rupture.

3. In addition to the calibration of the pipeline, there is another preparation before installation, that is, to clean the manual butterfly valve and its pipeline to ensure the cleanness of the valve and the pipeline, otherwise it will affect the sealing effect of the valve.

4. Manual butterfly valves require frequent manual operations. Therefore, the installation position of the manual butterfly valve is also very particular. The valve installation position must be convenient for personnel operation and future maintenance. It has been demonstrated that the best position for manual valve installation is about 1.2 meters on the operating floor. For valves installed outdoors, cover the valve with some covering to prevent the bad weather from affecting the valve.

5. During installation, the butterfly plate of the manual butterfly valve must be in the closed position to avoid collision damage of the butterfly plate and the pipeline flange, affecting the sealing performance.

6. After the installation is completed, commissioning should be carried out. If the manual butterfly valve has 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 tapping, prying, or brute force.

The installation requirements for manual butterfly valves are actually very simple. We need to pay attention to the details after the valve is purchased. Of course, the key to the safety of the pipeline and the service life of the valve lies in the correct selection and configuration.

Commonly used butterfly valves are wafer-type butterfly valves and flanged butterfly valves. Wafer type butterfly valve is to connect the valve between the two pipeline flanges with double-headed bolts. Flange type butterfly valve is to have a flange on the valve, and use bolts to connect the two ends of the valve to the pipeline flange. There are four types of butterfly valves in Tanghai Valve company, see below:
