What are the commonly used valves

August 27, 2021

The valve is a pipeline accessory, used to open and close the pipeline and control the flow of fluid medium in the pipeline. The functions of the valve in the pipeline include cut-off, regulation, diversion, prevention of reverse flow, stabilization, diversion or overflow and pressure relief. There are many types of valves. As the control components of fluid control systems, from the simplest butterfly valves and gate valves to the various valves used in extremely complex automatic control systems, there are many varieties and specifications.

Valves can be used to control the flow of various types of fluids, such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, oil, liquid metal, and radioactive media. The application range covers various industries. Although there are many types of valves, what are the commonly used valves? This article introduces you one by one:

There are five types of commonly used valves: butterfly valves, gate valves, check valves, ball valves, and stop valves.

Butterfly valve:
The butterfly valve, also known as the flap valve, is a simple and easy-to-use regulating valve. The butterfly plate in the body of the butterfly valve is the closing part of the valve, which is in the shape of a disc. The working principle is that the butterfly plate rotates around the valve shaft to realize the valve. Open and close, usually, the butterfly plate is driven by the valve stem and rotates 90° to complete one opening and closing, and achieve the purpose of interception. If you change the deflection angle of the butterfly plate, it can also be used as a flow control. Under normal circumstances, butterfly valves are often used for on-off control of low-pressure pipeline media.
Wafer butterfly valve and flange butterfly valve are the two connection forms of butterfly valve. The butterfly valve is suitable for making large-diameter valves, suitable for natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, city gas, cold and hot air, chemical smelting and power generation, environmental protection, building water supply and drainage, etc. It is used to regulate and cut off the flow of media on the pipelines that transport various corrosive and non-corrosive fluid media in the system.

gate valve:

Gate valves are usually used for interception in pipeline systems. Its opening and closing parts are gates. The movement direction of the gate is perpendicular to the direction of the medium flow in the pipeline. The gate rises and the valve opens to realize the flow of the pipeline medium; the gate falls, The valve is closed, and the flow of the pipeline medium is cut off. The gate valve can only be fully opened or fully closed to cut off the flow of the medium, and cannot be used for adjustment and throttling. Therefore, the gate valve is generally used to keep the gate valve gate plate fully open and fully closed, and is used in a pipeline environment that does not need to be opened and closed frequently.
According to the structure of the gate, the gate valve can be divided into two types: wedge gate valve and parallel gate valve. Wedge gate valves can be divided into three types: single gate valve, double gate valve and elastic gate valve.

Check valve:
The check valve is also a list valve or check valve, which is an automatic valve, which

double-wing-check-valve-3

means that the check valve works automatically and does not require manual operation. When the medium flows through the check valve, under the pressure impact of the fluid medium, the check valve The valve flap of the return valve opens automatically and the medium passes through; after the medium flow is cut off, the valve flap automatically closes under the force of its own spring device to prevent the medium from flowing back and backflow.
Check valves are only suitable for installation in pipelines where the medium flows in one direction. The main function is to prevent the medium from flowing backwards, to prevent the pump and drive motor from reversing, and to discharge the container medium.

Globe valve:
The globe valve, also known as the shut-off valve, is a forced-sealing valve. That is to say, unlike the automatic operation of a check valve, the shut-off valve must apply pressure to the disc when it is closed to force the sealing

surface to not leak. When the medium enters the valve from below the disc, the flow direction changes, so the resistance that needs to be overcome to close the shut-off valve is the friction between the valve stem and the packing, as well as the thrust generated by the pressure of the medium, and the force to close the valve. The force is larger than that of opening the valve, so the diameter of the valve stem should be larger, otherwise the valve stem will bend failure. The flow resistance of the stop valve is higher than other valves.
The shut-off valve can be used to cut off the medium like a gate valve, but more often, people use the shut-off valve to adjust the flow.

Ball valve:
The ball valve evolved from the rotary valve. It is the same as the butterfly valve in that it also needs to be rotated 90 degrees to open and close. The difference is that the butterfly

ball valve (8)

valve is a butterfly plate, and the cock of the ball valve is a sphere, with a circular through hole or channel passing through its axis.
The ball valve can cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline, and only need to rotate 90 degrees and a small torque can be closed tightly. Therefore, the ball valve is most suitable for use as a switch and shut-off valve. At present, it has been widely used in petroleum refining, long-distance pipeline, chemical industry, papermaking and other industries.

What are the taboos when installing valves

August 25, 2021

The valve is an important component in the fluid pipeline, and it is also a relatively fragile pipeline control device. Installing a valve is a technical task. It seems easy. In fact, there are many details to pay attention to. If there are some contraindications when installing the valve, it is serious. It will cause immeasurable consequences. This article will explain this problem to help you install valves safely and produce safely.

manual valve installation site-method

Taboos during valve installation
1. During winter construction, the valve shall be hydrostatically tested in a sub-zero temperature environment.
Possible consequences: due to the rapid freezing in the tube during the hydraulic test, the tube freezes.
The correct method: try to do a hydraulic test on the valve before the winter as soon as possible. After the pressure test, the water inside and outside the valve must be cleaned to prevent the valve from freezing and cracking in winter. If it is necessary to do a water pressure test in winter, it needs to be carried out indoors at a temperature above zero. Similarly, the water must be removed after the pressure test.

2. The sewage, rainwater, and condensate pipes for concealed installation are not subject to closed-water tests.
Possible consequences: Once there is a problem with the pipeline, it can not be found in time, and there will be water leakage, which will cause losses to the user.
The correct method: For concealed sewage, rainwater, condensate pipes, etc., closed water tests must be performed in strict accordance with the specifications to ensure that there is no leakage.

3. The flange of the butterfly valve can be replaced by the flange of the ordinary valve at will.
Possible consequences: Because the size of the flange of the butterfly valve is different from that of the ordinary valve, the disc of the butterfly valve is relatively large. If the inner diameter of the flange is too small, it will affect the opening and closing of the butterfly valve and cannot open normally , And eventually damage the valve. Measures: Correct method: Process and install the flange according to the actual size of the butterfly valve flange.

4. The valve installation method is wrong, for example, the installation direction is wrong, and the installation is not carried out in the direction indicated by the valve instruction.
Possible consequences: valve operation failure, difficult opening and closing, troublesome maintenance, leakage of valve body seal.
Correct method: When installing the valve, install it in strict accordance with the valve installation manual. After the installation is completed, check it against the manual.

5. The installed valves, specifications and models do not meet the design requirements.
Possible consequences: affect the normal use of the valve, or even damage the valve and cause losses.
The correct method: Before installing the valve, you must fully understand the working conditions and environment of the construction, and at the same time, you must be familiar with the application range of various valves, and select the valve model and specifications in strict accordance with the requirements of the working conditions.

6. Before installing the valve, the quality inspection of the valve was not carried out in accordance with the regulations.
Possible consequences: Failure to conduct quality inspection on valves, resulting in unqualified valves being installed on pipelines, increasing the possibility of pipeline leakage, and also increasing potential safety hazards in production.
Correct method: Before the valve is installed, the valve must be strictly inspected. The test should be 10% of the total number of valve products in each batch to ensure that the valve meets various national standards.

The role of check valve and installation matters

August 19, 2021

The check valve is an automatic valve that relies on the pressure of the flow of the medium to achieve the opening and closing of the valve flap. The check valve is mainly used to prevent the medium from flowing back and backflow, so it is also called a check valve, a one-way valve and so on. Check valve is a kind of automatic valve, its function is to prevent the back flow of the medium, prevent the pump and drive motor from reversing, as well as the release of the container medium. This article will explain the function of the check valve and the precautions for installation.

The role of the check valve

all types of check valve and structures -code names-photos

The check valve is mainly used in the pump water supply system to prevent the impact of the high-pressure water backflow on the pump impeller. When the water pump in the water supply system of the water pump suddenly stops running, the pressure in the pump disappears instantly, and the high-pressure water connected to the outlet of the water pump will flow back to the water pump in the reverse direction. After the non-return valve installed at the outlet of the water pump has no medium pressure, it will be closed immediately to prevent the high-pressure water from flowing back to the pump in the reverse direction.
Imagine if there is no check valve installed at the outlet of the water pump, high-pressure water flows back to the water pump in the reverse direction, and the impeller of the water pump reverses under the impact of the high-pressure water. Under the impact of high-pressure water, the impeller may loosen or damage the impeller or other parts in a serious situation. When the pump runs again, the loose or damaged impeller can also fly out, bringing huge safety hazards to the production work.
The check valve in the hot water system is used to prevent hot water from flowing back into the pipeline. If the check valve is not installed, the hot water will flow back, which may scald the pipeline and even hurt people.

Precautions for check valve installation
1. The check valve is a one-way valve, so the installation position, height, and direction of inlet and outlet must meet the design requirements, and the direction of medium flow should be consistent with the direction of the arrow marked on the valve body.
2. Check the appearance before installing the check valve. The nameplate of the valve should meet the requirements of the current national standard “General Valve Marking” GB 12220. It can be used after all standards are qualified.
3. Do not allow the check valve in the pipeline to bear weight, especially the large check valve, which should have an independent support and not be affected by the pressure generated by the pipeline.

Ways to Extend the Service Life of Valves

August 10, 2021

In industrial production, we always want to reduce costs, increase production capacity, and maximize profits. In addition to vigorously developing scientific and technological productivity, in daily work, paying attention to some small details, avoiding waste, can also reduce costs. Valves are disposable items and have their own service life. Once this period has passed, they must be replaced with new ones. Frequent replacement of valves will increase our production costs. Therefore, extending the service life of the valve can also maximize our production benefits. This article will start with the selection of the valve and tell us how to maximize the service life of the valve during the process of valve maintenance.

Valve selection
Getting the best performance level of the valve is the first step in ensuring the life of the valve, so we have to make sure that the right valve is selected and used in the right place. In many cases, the main reason for valve leakage and failure is the wrong valve design or the wrong material of construction. Therefore, when selecting a valve, you must be clear about the parameters of the pipelined medium, use temperature, pressure, etc., and select the correct and appropriate valve according to the parameters.

Valve installation
After purchasing a suitable valve, pay special attention to the installation. On-site technicians may cause further damage to the valve when removing the valve end cover. When the end cover is removed, dust and foreign matter will be deposited in the valve, which may cause Damage to the ball and valve seat, and cause leakage once installed. So do not open the end cap without special reason.
Incorrect hoisting of pneumatic valves or electric valves will damage the actuators and valves. When transporting the valve on site, there is a lifting ring on the valve. Do not lift the valve or actuator through the valve stem. Therefore, during the installation phase, the most important step is to purge the pipeline before it is pressurized.

Valve maintenance
After the valve is installed, frequent maintenance is required to prevent the valve and drive equipment from malfunctioning. Every month, the valve in operation should be moisturized to optimize the performance of the valve.

Finally, there are some caveats:
1. Make sure that the start of the valve and the material list of valve control accessories conform to our specification sheet.
2. The valve packaging must be inspected to ensure that the exterior of the valve and components are intact during the transportation process, and all grease fittings are present.
3. Ensure that the valve process connection is covered to prevent dust and debris from entering the body cavity.
4. Pay attention to the valve manufacturer’s instructions for lifting and transporting the valve.
Tanghai Valve, a high-quality valve manufacturer, has better quality and longer service life. Escort your production work.

The difference between internally and externally threaded valves

June 1, 2021

Threaded valve (also called internal threaded valve) generally refers to a valve with internal or external thread on the valve body. It is mainly divided into internal threaded valve and external threaded valve. Corresponding to the pipeline. Usually threaded valves can only be manufactured with small diameters and are used for normal pressure or low pressure projects. If they are not available for high pressure work, they need to be used with welded link valves or flanged valves.

internally threaded valve and externally threaded valve

Common threaded valves are: threaded gate valve, threaded ball valve, threaded globe valve, threaded check valve.
The difference between internal threaded valve and external threaded valve:
From the point of use: Due to price and working flow requirements, most of the valves on the market use internal threaded valves. From the channel: Taking into account the thread connection, the passage of the external thread of the same caliber is smaller than the internal thread, the flow rate is faster, and the flow rate is small.
From the appearance: Most of the internal threads are pipe threads, the external threads are mostly taper threads, and the bite-type external threads are pipe threads.
In terms of pressure resistance: The wall of the valve with external thread of the same material is usually thicker than that of the internal thread (the smaller the passage, the thicker the wall), and the pressure resistance is greater. This is the reason why valves with high pressure ratings are all external threads. To
Sealing form of threaded valve:
1. Direct sealing: internal and external threads directly play a sealing role. In order to ensure that the joints are not leaking, they are often filled with lead oil, thread hemp and PTFE raw material tape; among them, PTFE raw material tape is widely used every day; this material has good corrosion resistance and extremely sealing effect. Good, it is convenient to use and store. When disassembling, it can be completely removed, because it is a non-sticky film, which is much better than lead oil and hemp.
2. Indirect sealing: the tightening force of the thread is transmitted to the gasket between the two planes, so that the gasket plays a sealing role.
Thread standard of threaded valve:
1. International standards ISO228/1, DIN259, are internal and external parallel threads, code G or PF (BSP.F);
2. German standard ISO7/1, DIN2999, BS21, taper external thread, parallel internal thread;
3. British standard ISO7/1, BS21, internal and external tapered thread, code PT or BSP.Tr or Rc;
4. American standard ANSIB21, internal and external tapered thread, code name NPT.

All types of check valve and its structures

May 26, 2021

Check valve refers to a valve whose opening and closing parts are circular discs and rely on its own weight and medium pressure to generate actions to block the back flow of the medium. It is an automatic valve, also known as one-way valve, non-return valve(NSV) or isolation valve. The movement of the disc is divided into lift type and swing type. The lift check valve is similar in structure to the shut-off valve, but lacks the valve stem that drives the disc. The medium flows in from the inlet end (lower side) and flows out from the outlet end (upper side). When the inlet pressure is greater than the sum of the weight of the disc and its flow resistance, the valve is opened. On the contrary, the valve is closed when the medium flows back. The swing check valve has a disc that is inclined and can rotate around the axis, and the working principle is similar to that of the lift check valve. The check valve is often used as the bottom valve of the pumping device to prevent the backflow of water. The combination of check valve and stop valve can play a role of safety isolation. The disadvantage is that the resistance is large and the sealing performance is poor when closed.

all types of check valve and structures -code names-photos

The working principle of the check valve:
Check valves can also be used to supply pipelines for auxiliary systems where the pressure may rise above the system pressure. Check valves can be divided into swing check valves (rotating according to the center of gravity) and lift check valves (moving along the axis).

The function of this type of check valve is to only allow the medium to flow in one direction and prevent the flow in the opposite direction. Usually this kind of valve works automatically. Under the action of the fluid pressure flowing in one direction, the valve flap opens; when the fluid flows in the opposite direction, the fluid pressure and the self-coincidence of the valve flap act on the valve seat, thereby cutting off the flow.

Among them, the check valve belongs to this type of valve, which includes swing check valve and lift check valve. The swing check valve has a hinge mechanism and a valve disc like a door that rests freely on the inclined valve seat surface. In order to ensure that the valve clack can reach the proper position of the valve seat surface every time, the valve clack is designed in a hinge mechanism so that the valve clack has enough space for rotation and makes the valve clack truly and comprehensively contact the valve seat. The valve clack can be made of metal, leather, rubber, or synthetic covering can be inlaid on the metal, depending on the performance requirements. When the swing check valve is fully opened, the fluid pressure is almost unimpeded, so the pressure drop through the valve is relatively small. The valve disc of the lift check valve is located on the sealing surface of the valve seat on the valve body. Except that the disc can be raised and lowered freely, the rest of the valve is like a shut-off valve. The fluid pressure lifts the disc from the seat sealing surface, and the backflow of the medium causes the disc to fall back onto the seat and cut off the flow. According to the conditions of use, the valve clack can be an all-metal structure, or it can be in the form of a rubber pad or a rubber ring inlaid on the valve clack frame. Like a shut-off valve, the passage of fluid through the lift check valve is also narrow, so the pressure drop through the lift check valve is larger than that of the swing check valve, and the flow rate of the swing check valve is restricted. Rarely.
Classification of check valves:
The valve that opens or closes on its own by the force of the flow of the medium to prevent the medium from flowing back is called a check valve. Check valves belong to the category of automatic valves, which are mainly used in pipelines where the medium flows in one direction, and only allow the medium to flow in one direction to prevent accidents.

Classified by structure:
According to the structure, it can be divided into three types: lift check valve, swing check valve and butterfly check valve:

1. Lift check valves are divided into two types: vertical and horizontal.

2. The swing check valve is divided into three types: single, double and multiple.

3. The butterfly check valve is a straight-through type.

The above check valves can be divided into four types in connection form: threaded connection, flange connection, welding connection and wafer connection.

The selection criteria of the check valve are as follows:

1. In order to prevent the medium from flowing back, check valves should be installed on the equipment, devices and pipelines;

2. Check valves are generally suitable for clean media, not for media containing solid particles and high viscosity;

3. Generally, horizontal lift check valves should be used on horizontal pipes with a nominal diameter of 50mm;

4. The straight-through lift check valve can only be installed in horizontal pipelines;

5. For the inlet pipeline of the water pump, a bottom valve should be used. The bottom valve is generally only installed on the vertical pipeline at the inlet of the pump, and the medium flows from bottom to top;

6. Compared with the swing type, the lifting type has better sealing performance and greater fluid resistance. The horizontal type should be installed on the horizontal pipeline, and the vertical type on the vertical pipeline;

7. The installation position of the swing check valve is not restricted. It can be installed on a horizontal, vertical or inclined pipeline. If installed on a vertical pipeline, the flow direction of the medium should be from bottom to top;

8. The swing check valve should not be made into a small-diameter valve, it can be made into a high working pressure, the nominal pressure can reach 42MPa, and the nominal diameter can also be large, the maximum can reach more than 2000mm. According to the different materials of the shell and the sealing parts, it can be applied to any working medium and any working temperature range. The medium is water, steam, gas, corrosive medium, oil, medicine, etc. The working temperature range of the medium is between -196–800℃;

9. The applicable occasion for swing check valve is low pressure and large diameter, and the installation occasion is restricted;

10. The installation position of the butterfly check valve is not restricted. It can be installed on a horizontal pipeline, or on a vertical or inclined pipeline;

11. Diaphragm check valve is suitable for pipelines that are prone to water hammer. The diaphragm can eliminate the water hammer caused by the reverse flow of the medium. It is generally used on low-pressure and normal temperature pipelines, and is especially suitable for tap water pipelines. Normal media work The temperature is between -12-120℃, and the working pressure is less than 1.6MPa, but the diaphragm check valve can achieve a larger diameter, and the maximum DN can reach more than 2000mm;

12. The spherical check valve is suitable for medium and low pressure pipelines and can be made into a large diameter;

13. The shell material of the spherical check valve can be made of stainless steel, and the hollow sphere of the seal can be wrapped with polytetrafluoroethylene engineering plastic, so it can also be applied to the pipeline of general corrosive media, and the working temperature is -101–150 Between ℃, its nominal pressure is ≤4.0MPa, and the nominal passage range is between DN200-DN1200;

14. When selecting check valves for incompressible fluids, the required closing speed must be evaluated first, and the second step is to select the type of check valve that may meet the required closing speed;

15. The check valve for compressible fluid can be selected according to the similar method of check valve for incompressible fluid. If the medium flow range is large, the check valve for compressible fluid can be used A deceleration device, if the medium flow is stopped and started quickly and continuously, such as the outlet of the compressor, a lift check valve is used;

16. The corresponding size of the check valve should be determined, and the valve supplier must provide the data of the selected size, so that the valve size when the valve is fully opened at a given flow rate can be found;

17. For high and medium pressure check valves below DN50mm, vertical lift check valves and straight-through lift check valves should be used;

18. For low-pressure check valves below DN50mm, butterfly check valves, vertical lift check valves and diaphragm check valves should be used;

19. For high and medium pressure check valves with DN greater than 50mm and less than 600mm, swing check valves should be used;

20. For medium and low pressure check valves with DN greater than 200mm and less than 1200mm, wear-free spherical check valves should be used;

21. For low pressure check valves with DN greater than 50mm and less than 2000mm, butterfly check valves and diaphragm check valves should be used;

22. For pipelines that require relatively small water hammer impact or no water hammer when closed, slow-closing swing check valves and slow-closing butterfly check valves should be selected.

Types of check valves we produce:

We have other types of check valves: single-disc swing check valve, dual plate check valve, tilting disc swing check valve, lift swing check valve, silent check valve and ball check vlave used in Oil, Gas, Marine industry, Water supply and drainage, fire fighting, shipbuilding, water treatment and other systems, with Nominal Diameter of DN50 to DN1200, NBR/EPDM/VITON, Certificates & Approvals: DNV-GL, Lloyds, DNV, BV, API, ABS, CCS.

The structure and connection of the American standard valve

November 25, 2020

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

The difference between carbon steel and cast steel

November 24, 2020

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

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

flanges

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

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

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

lug type butterfly valve, ductile iron, center lined,

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

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

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

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

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

what is bevel gear?

October 22, 2020

The bevel gear is used to transmit the movement and power between the two intersecting shafts. In general

bevel gear

machinery, the angle of intersection between the two shafts of the bevel gear is equal to 90° (but it may not be equal to 90°). Similar to cylindrical gears, bevel gears have indexing cones, addendum cones, tooth root cones and base cones. The cone has a big end and a small end, and the circle corresponding to the big end is called the index circle (its radius is r), the addendum circle, the root circle and the base circle. The movement of a pair of bevel gears is equivalent to a pair of pitch cones for pure rolling.
Application field

Classification
Straight tooth, helical tooth, curved tooth

1. Formation of tooth profile
The formation of the tooth profile of bevel gears is similar to that of cylindrical gears, except that the base cone is

The formation of spherical involute

used instead of the base cylinder. As shown on the right, the generating surface S is tangent to the generatrix of the base cone. When the generating surface S is purely rolling along the base cone, any straight line OK on the

generating surface contacting the generatrix ON of the base cone will form an involute curved surface in space. This curved surface is the tooth profile curved surface of the straight bevel gear. The trajectory of each point on the line OK is an involute (the involute at the vertex O is a point). Each point on the involute NK is equidistant from the cone O, so the involute must be on a spherical surface centered on the cone O and the radius is OK, that is, NK is a spherical involute.
2. Back cone and equivalent gear
The following figure shows a pair of special bevel gear drives. Among them, the number of teeth of wheel 1 is, the indexing circle radius is, and the reference cone angle is; the number of teeth of wheel 2 is, the indexing circle radius is, the indexing cone angle=90°, and the indexing cone surface is A plane, this kind of gear is called a crown gear.

Equivalent gear of bevel gear

The large end node P of the wheel 1 is used as the vertical line of the indexing cone generatrix OP, crossing its axis and point O1, and then taking O1 point as the cone tip and O1P as the generatrix, making a cone tangent to the large end of wheel 1 , Call this cone the back cone of wheel 1. In the same way, the back cone of wheel 2 can be made. Since wheel 2 is a crown wheel, its back cone becomes a cylindrical surface. If the back cones of the two wheels are expanded, the back cone of wheel 1 will be expanded into a sector gear, and the back cone of wheel 2 will be expanded into a rack, that is, after the back cone is expanded, the two are equivalent to gears and teeth. Strip meshing transmission. According to the Fan Cheng principle, when the tooth profile of the rack (that is, the back cone of the crown wheel) is a straight line, the tooth profile of the wheel 2 on the back cone is an involute.

Imagine filling up the gap of the unfolded sector gear, and you will get a cylindrical gear. This imaginary cylindrical gear is called the equivalent gear of the bevel gear, and the number of teeth Zv is called the equivalent number of teeth of the bevel gear. The tooth profile of the equivalent gear and the tooth profile of the bevel gear on the back cone (that is, the big end tooth profile) are consistent, so the modulus and pressure angle of the equivalent gear are consistent with the modulus and pressure angle of the large end of the bevel gear. As for the equivalent number of teeth, it can be obtained as follows:

As can be seen from the figure above, the index circle radius of the equivalent gear of wheel 1 is
γv1=γ1/cosδ1=z1m(2cosδ1)

So
zv1=z1/cosδ1

For any bevel gear there is
zv=z/cosδ

With the help of the concept of bevel gear equivalent gear, the correct meshing condition of a pair of bevel gears should be that the modulus and pressure angle of the large ends of the two wheels are equal respectively; the coincidence degree of a pair of bevel gear transmission can be calculated approximately according to the coincidence degree of the equivalent gear transmission ; In order to avoid undercutting of gear teeth, the minimum number of teeth for bevel gears without undercutting zmin=zvmincosδ
3. Analysis of gear tooth force
Similar to the cylindrical gear, the nominal normal load Fn is decomposed into the circumferential force Ft1, the radial force Fr1 and the axial force Fa1 at the average index circle of the pinion gear. The direction of each force is shown in the figure on the right, and then according to the force balance The geometric relationship between the conditions and the forces is calculated, namely

bevel gear force analysis

Force Analysis of Straight Bevel Gear

The force analysis on the big gear is similar to that on the small gear.
4. Geometric parameters and calculations
Bevel gears use the big end parameter as the standard value, so when calculating their geometric dimensions, the big end should also prevail. As shown in the figure below, the index circle diameters of the two bevel gears are respectively
d1=2Rsinδ1, d2=2Rsinδ2

In the formula, R is the distance from the tip of the indexing cone to the large end, which becomes the cone distance; δ1 and δ2 are the indexing cone angles of the two bevel gears (referred to as the cone angle for short).
The transmission ratio of the two wheels is

i12=w1/w2=z2/z1=d2/d1=sinδ2/sinδ1

When the shaft angle Σ=90° between the two bevel gears, the above formula becomes due to δ1+δ2=90°

i12=w1/w2=z2/z1=d2/d1=cotδ1=tanδ2

Geometry of bevel gear transmission

When designing bevel gear transmission, the value of the cone angle of the two wheels can be determined according to the above formula according to the given transmission ratio.

As for the size of the bevel gear tip cone angle and the tooth root cone angle, they are related to the head clearance requirements of the two bevel gears when they are meshed and driven. According to national standards (GB/T 12369-1990, GB/T12370-1990), equal head-clearance bevel gears are now used for transmission. The head clearance of the two wheels is equal from the big end to the small end of the gear. The cones of the degree cone and the root cone coincide at one point. However, because the generatrix of the tooth tip cone of the two wheels is parallel to the generatrix of the tooth root cone of the other bevel gear meshing with it, the cone tip no longer coincides with the indexing cone cone tip. This kind of bevel gear is equivalent to reducing the tooth tip height of the small end of the tooth, thereby reducing the possibility of the tooth tip being too sharp; and the tooth root fillet radius is larger, which is beneficial to improve the load capacity of the tooth, tool life and storage Oil lubrication.
