(1) Cut-off type: such as gate valve, globe valve, plug valve, ball valve, butterfly valve, needle valve, diaphragm valve, etc. The cut-off valve is also called a closed-circuit valve or a cut-off valve, whose function is to connect or cut off the medium in the pipeline.

Check valve, also known as one-way valve or check valve, check valve is an automatic valve, its function is to prevent the back flow of the medium in the pipeline, prevent the pump and drive motor from reversing, and the leakage of the container medium . The bottom valve of the pump to close the water is also a check valve.

Explosion-proof valves, emergency valves, etc. The role of safety valves is to prevent the pressure of the medium in the pipeline or device from exceeding the specified value, so as to achieve the purpose of safety protection.

Regulating valve, throttle valve and pressure reducing valve, its role is to adjust the pressure, flow and other parameters of the medium.

(2) Vacuum: such as vacuum ball valve, vacuum baffle valve, vacuum charging valve, pneumatic vacuum valve, etc. Its role is in the vacuum system to change

The vacuum system components that adjust the air flow direction, cut off or connect the pipeline are called vacuum valves.

(3) Special purpose categories: such as pigging valve, vent valve, drain valve, exhaust valve, filter, etc. The exhaust valve is an indispensable auxiliary component in the pipeline system, which is widely used in boilers, air conditioners, oil and gas, and water supply and drainage pipelines. It is often installed at high points or elbows to remove excess gas in the pipeline, improve the efficiency of pipeline use and reduce energy consumption.

According to the main parameters:

According to the nominal pressure:

Valve structure characteristics:

The structural features of the valve can be divided into:

  • (1) Sectional gate shape: The closing part moves along the center of the valve seat; such as a globe valve
  • (2) Cock and ball: The closing part is a plunger or a ball, which rotates around its own centerline; such as a plug valve, a ball valve
  • (3) Gate shape: The closing part moves along the center of the vertical valve seat; such as gate valve, gate, etc.
  • (4) Swing shape: The closing part rotates around the axis outside the valve seat; such as swing check valve, etc.
  • (5) Butterfly shape: the disc of the closing part, which rotates around the axis in the valve seat; such as butterfly valve, butterfly check valve, etc.
  • (6) Slide valve shape: The closing piece slides in a direction perpendicular to the channel. Slippery

Press connection method:

  • (1) Threaded connection valve: The valve body has an internal thread or an external thread, which is connected with the pipe thread…
  • (2) Flange connection valve: The valve body has a flange and is connected to the pipeline flange.
  • (3) Welding connection valve: The valve body has a welding groove and is welded to the pipeline.
  • (4) Clamp connection valve: The valve body has a clamp, which is connected with the pipe clamp.
  • (5) Ferrule connection valve: the ferrule is connected to the pipeline.
  • (6) Wafer connection valve: a connection form in which the valve and two pipes are directly clamped together with bolts.

According to the body material

  • (1) Metal material valve: its valve body and other parts are made of metal material. Such as cast iron valves, cast steel valves, alloy steel valves, copper alloy valves, aluminum alloy valves, lead alloy valves, titanium alloy valves, Monel alloy valves, etc.
  • (2) Non-metallic material valve: its valve body and other parts are made of non-metallic material. Such as plastic valves, enamel valves, ceramic valves, FRP valves, etc.

Selection criteria for check valves

Selection criteria for check valve:

The selection criteria for check valves are as follows:

double-wing-check-valve-3

double-wing-check-valve-3

1. In order to prevent the medium from flowing back, check valves should be installed on 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 pump inlet, 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 medium flow direction 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. It can be applied to any working medium and any working temperature range according to the different materials of the shell and the seal. 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 well eliminate the water hammer caused by the backflow 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 plastics, so it can also be applied to the pipeline of general corrosive media, and the working temperature is -101–150 ℃, its nominal pressure is ≤4.0MPa, and the nominal passage range is between DN200-DN1200;

14. When selecting a check valve 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 a 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-close swing check valves and slow-close butterfly check valves should be selected.
