Structure diagram of double eccentric butterfly valve

January 11, 2022

Double eccentric butterfly valves are often referred to as high performance butterfly valves. On the basis of the single eccentric butterfly valve, the most widely used double eccentric butterfly valve is further improved and formed.
Structural features of double eccentric butterfly valve: The center of rotation of the valve plate (ie the center of the valve shaft) forms a dimension α offset with the valve plate sealing section, and a dimension b offset with the centerline of the valve body.

Sealing principle of double eccentric butterfly valve: On the basis of the single eccentric sealing butterfly valve, the center of rotation of the valve plate (ie the center of the valve shaft) is offset by a dimension b with the center line of the valve body. When the double eccentric sealing butterfly valve is in a fully open state, The valve plate sealing surface will be completely separated from the valve seat sealing surface, and a gap y larger than the X gap in the single eccentric sealing butterfly valve is formed between the valve plate sealing surface and the valve seat sealing surface, thereby reducing the opening and closing of the valve plate. Mechanical wear and abrasion between the two sealing surfaces of the butterfly valve seal pair.

high performance-double eccentric-butterlfy valve-wafer-lug-flanged (6)

In the usual design, when the valve plate is rotated from 0° to 8° to 12°, the sealing surface of the valve plate can be completely separated from the sealing surface of the valve seat, so that during the opening and closing process of the butterfly valve, the sealing surface between the valve plate and the valve seat is separated. Compared with mechanical wear, the extrusion angle stroke is shorter, so that the mechanical wear and extrusion deformation are further reduced, and the sealing performance of the butterfly valve is further improved.

The main reasons for the failure of the sealing performance of the double eccentric butterfly valve sealing pair
① During the opening and closing process of the butterfly valve, when the valve plate rotates and squeezes the elastic soft valve seat, the valve plate and the valve seat are mechanically worn and scratched;
②After the valve plate squeezes the elastic valve seat, the elastic valve seat or the elastic layer of the valve plate will produce permanent plastic deformation, cold flow, elastic failure, etc.;
③The material of the elastic valve seat or the elastic layer of the valve plate is aging and failing, etc.;
④ Medium cavitation and erosion of the sealing surface.

Features of double eccentric butterfly valve
①The structure is more complicated than the single eccentric sealing butterfly valve, and the cost is slightly higher;
②The sealing performance is better than that of the single eccentric sealing butterfly valve;
③The service life is longer than that of the single eccentric sealing butterfly valve, and the operating pressure is also higher.
Difference: Double eccentric butterfly valve can use metal seat, which improves the application of butterfly valve in high temperature field. However, because its sealing principle is a positional sealing structure, that is, the sealing surface of the disc and the valve seat is in line contact, and the elastic deformation caused by the disc extrusion of the valve seat produces a sealing effect, so it has high requirements for the closing position (especially metal Valve seat), low pressure bearing capacity, which is why traditionally people think that butterfly valves are not resistant to high pressure and have large leakage.

The role and application of gate valve

January 7, 2022

This article introduces you to the function of gate valve, and then understands the purpose of gate valve. The gate valve is a very important control component on the pipeline that transports the fluid medium. The structure of the gate valve is composed of a valve body, a valve cover, a valve stem, a gate plate, a sealing ring, and a driving device. The driving device is usually a hand wheel, and it can also be equipped with a pneumatic or electric actuator.

DIN-F4-BB-NRS-soft seated-wedge gate valve-DN100-PN16-copper holding ring-handwheel (3)

The gate of the gate valve is a disc shape, and the valve stem is driven to realize the opening and closing of the valve. The movement direction of the valve stem and the gate is perpendicular to the valve body passage and the direction of fluid flow in the pipeline. The gate valve has only two states, fully open and fully closed, so it can only be used to cut off the flow of the medium in the pipeline, and cannot adjust the flow rate. In addition, when the gate valve is opened and closed, the stroke distance of the gate is long. Although the opening and closing is labor-saving, it takes time. Therefore, the function of the gate valve is very suitable for use in pipelines that do not need to be opened and closed frequently, and used as a cut off or connected to the circulating medium in the pipeline.
The gate of the gate valve has two sealing surfaces. When the gate valve is closed, the sealing surface of the gate can be pressed against the seat on one side by the pressure of the medium to achieve sealing, which is self-sealing. The gate is basically a forced sealing type, that is, when the gate valve is closed, it needs to rely on the external force of the medium to force the gate to the valve seat to ensure the sealing performance of the sealing surface of the gate valve.
Gate valves can be divided into open-stem gate valves and concealed-stem gate valves according to their structural form. The functions of the two structural forms of gate valves are not much different, and the more difference lies in the use environment.
1. The stem of the rising stem gate valve is exposed, and the opening and closing state of the valve can be observed intuitively when the valve is opened and closed, so as to avoid misoperation. But also because the valve stem is exposed, the height of the rising stem gate valve, which is originally large in height, is even greater. Therefore, the rising stem gate valve is suitable for use in places that require a lot of operating space, and is not suitable for working conditions with narrow space.
2. The valve stem of the concealed stem gate valve is inside the valve body, so the on-off state of the valve cannot be directly observed, and another indicating device is required. However, because the valve stem is in the valve body, the volume of the dark-stem gate valve is smaller than that of the open-stem gate valve, and it is more suitable for use in occasions where the operating space is small and the location is limited and the pipeline is dense.
When the gate valve is fully opened, there is no obstruction when the medium flows through the inside of the valve body passage, and the flow resistance is almost zero. In addition, the valve body channel of the gate valve is symmetrical on both sides, the medium can flow in both directions, and it is not affected by the flow direction of the medium during installation. The gate valve has a wide range of applications due to its good manufacturing process. Gate valves have a wide range of uses, and are widely used in water conservancy systems, water supply and drainage systems, as well as petroleum, chemical, electric power, urban construction, and fire protection industries.

How to judge whether the check valve is qualified in the factory pressure test

January 5, 2022

Check valve refers to the valve that actively opens and closes the valve flap by relying on the activity of the medium itself to avoid the back flow of the medium. It is also called check valve, one-way valve, reverse flow valve, and back pressure valve. The check valve is a kind of active valve whose primary effect is to avoid the back flow of the medium, avoid the reversal of the pump and drive motor, and the discharge of the container medium.

dual plates check valve photos-normal sealing (1)

Check valves can also be used to supply supplementary lines to auxiliary systems whose pressure may rise above the system pressure. The effect of this type of check valve is to only allow the medium to move in one direction and block the movement in the opposite direction. Usually this kind of valve works actively. Under the effect of the fluid pressure moving in one direction, the valve flap opens; when the fluid moves in the opposite direction, the self-coincidence of the fluid pressure and the valve flap will affect the valve seat, and then the movement will be cut off.
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 swing check valve has a hinge mechanism and a valve disc like a door freely leaning on the surface of the slanted valve seat. 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 can meet the swing space and make the valve clack truly and comprehensively touch the valve seat. The valve clack can be made of metal, or inlaid with leather, rubber, or covered with a composition, depending on the requirements of performance. When the swing check valve is fully opened, the fluid pressure is almost unblocked, 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 lifted and lowered freely, the rest of the valve is the same as a shut-off valve. The fluid pressure lifts the disc from the sealing surface of the valve seat, and the backflow of the medium causes the disc to fall back to the seat and cut off the movement. According to the operating conditions, the valve disc can be an all-metal structure, or it can be inlaid with a rubber pad or a rubber ring on the disc holder. Like the stop 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. rare.

Check valve experiment status
The flap axis of the lift check valve is in an orientation straight with the horizontal; the channel axis of the swing check valve and the flap axis are in an orientation approximately parallel to the horizontal line.
In the strength test, the test medium is introduced from the inlet end to the specified value, and the other end is closed, and the valve body and bonnet are qualified without leakage.
In the sealing test, the test medium is introduced from the outlet end, and the sealing surface is checked at the inlet end. No leakage at the packing and gasket is qualified.

What is a fluorine-lined valve? How to extend the service life of it?

January 4, 2022

Fluorine-lined valves are made by using PTFE resin (or profile processed) to be molded (or inlaid) on the inner wall of the steel or iron valve pressure part or the outer surface of the valve inner part, and use its The unique performance of the anti-corrosive medium valve is made into various types of valves and pressure vessels.

Fluorine lined butterfly valve-PTFE-WAFER (10)

Among anti-corrosion materials, polytetrafluoroethylene has incomparable excellent performance. In addition to molten metal, elemental fluorine and aromatic hydrocarbons, it is used in various concentrations of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, aqua regia, organic acids, strong oxidants, and concentrated , Alternate dilute acid, alternate alkali, and various organic agents are all reacting spontaneously. The inner wall of the valve is lined with polytetrafluoroethylene, which not only overcomes the shortcomings of low strength of polytetrafluoroethylene material, but also solves the corrosion resistance of the valve theme material. Poor performance and high cost. In addition to its excellent chemical stability, PTFE has good antifouling, anti-sticking properties, extremely low dynamic and static friction coefficients, and good anti-friction and wet performance. Use it as a valve opening and closing sealing pair, and it is necessary to reduce the sealing surface The friction force between the valve and the operating torque of the valve is reduced, and the service life of the product is increased. The scope of its application can also be extended to the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Fluorine-lined valves are also known as anti-corrosion valves. They are often exposed to harsh working conditions. They are not toxic and harmful chemicals, or are very corrosive. Various acids and alkalis or organic solvents. Improper use will cause major economic losses and serious problems. as a result of. Correct use and maintenance of the valve can prolong the service life of the fluorine-lined valve. What details can be done to effectively protect it?
1. Before use, carefully read the fluorine-lined valve instruction manual.
2. Use according to the pressure, temperature, and use medium specified on the nameplate or in the manual.
3. When using, prevent the fluorine-lined valve from generating excessive pipeline stress due to temperature changes, minimize temperature changes, and add U-shaped expansion joints before and after the valve.
4. It is forbidden to use levers to open and close the fluorine-lined valve. Pay attention to the opening and closing indication position and limit device of the fluorine-lined valve. After opening and closing are in place, do not forcefully close it to avoid premature damage to the fluorine plastic sealing surface.
5. For some media that are unstable and easy to decompose (such as the decomposition of some media will cause volume expansion and abnormal pressure increase in working conditions), which will cause valve damage or leakage, measures should be taken to eliminate or limit the factors that cause unstable media to decompose . When selecting the valve type, the fluorine-lined valve with automatic pressure relief device should be selected in consideration of the changes in working conditions that may be caused by the unstable and easy decomposition of the medium.
6. For fluorine-lined valves on pipelines with toxic, flammable, explosive, and highly corrosive media, it is strictly forbidden to replace the packing under pressure. Although the fluorine-lined valve is designed to have an upper sealing function, it is not recommended to replace the packing under pressure.
7. For pipelines with spontaneous flammable media, measures must be taken to ensure that the ambient temperature and working condition temperature do not exceed the spontaneous ignition point of the media to prevent the danger caused by sunlight or external fire.

Applicable medium: various concentrations of acid-base salts and certain organic solvents.

Application of double eccentric butterfly valve and triple eccentric butterfly valve

December 29, 2021

Butterfly valves can be divided into centerline butterfly valves, single eccentric butterfly valves, double eccentric butterfly valves and triple eccentric butterfly valves. These butterfly valves are widely used in our production and life. Because of some defects of the centerline butterfly valve itself, it is not suitable for the environment where the temperature and pressure are too high or too low, so the butterfly valve is continuously improved, and this is the new design of single eccentric, double eccentric, and triple eccentric. Improvement is a breakthrough. Nowadays, the

Double eccentric-lug butterfly valve-D72F-150lbP-stainless steel (4)

application range of double eccentric butterfly valve and triple eccentric butterfly valve is wider and wider. This article will introduce the application of double eccentric butterfly valve and triple eccentric butterfly valve.

Application of double eccentric butterfly valve
The double eccentric butterfly valve is designed with eccentric structure and is widely used in the fluid pipeline system of water supply and drainage, sewage, construction, petroleum, chemical, textile, paper, hydropower, metallurgy, energy and other projects for regulation and interception.
Under normal circumstances, the seat material of the double eccentric butterfly valve is made of tetrafluoroethylene, which can effectively prevent corrosion. In addition, metal sealing seat can also be used to adapt to the high temperature environment. However, the double eccentric butterfly valve adopts metal sealing seat. The sealing surface of the butterfly plate and the seat is in line contact. The seal is a positional sealing structure. This sealing structure cannot withstand high pressure. If used in high pressure conditions, it will cause a lot of leakage. Therefore, do not use double eccentric butterfly valves with metal seal seats in high-pressure working environments or systems that require tight shut-off.

Application of triple eccentric butterfly valve

The triple eccentric butterfly valve is currently the most technologically advanced butterfly valve. It not only absorbs the advantages of other butterfly valve products, but also avoids the shortcomings of other butterfly valves, and has been valued by more and more users and technicians. The triple eccentric butterfly valve has a lot of leeway in the selection of sealing materials, and can deal with corrosive media such as high and low temperatures and various acids and alkalis. In addition, the triple eccentric butterfly valve can achieve zero leakage and is particularly suitable for making large-diameter valves. When used as a cut-off valve, it can replace gate valves and ball valves; when used as a flow adjustment, it can replace bulky shut-off valves.
At present, triple eccentric butterfly valves are used in important pipelines in large industrial fields such as petroleum exploration, petroleum refining, petrochemical, and energy power generation. As people continue to study, it is believed that triple eccentric butterfly valves will be applied to more and more fields.

Application of Soft Seal Wafer Butterfly Valve in Sewage Treatment

December 28, 2021

The soft-seal wafer butterfly valve is now closely inseparable from various township sewage treatment plants. In the past agricultural villages, the sewage discharge facilities of farm households have not been transformed, resulting in the direct discharge of a large amount of domestic sewage, which seriously affected the lives of local villagers and

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

threatened the ecological environment of rivers and rivers. With President Xi’s idea that “green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains”, the overall management of the city’s urban domestic sewage and the strengthening of the city’s ecological civilization construction are highly valued. While the construction of the township sewage treatment plant is in full swing, it is the important role of the soft seal butterfly valve in the sewage treatment.
Sewage treatment valves are generally soft-sealed butterfly valves, seat-sealed elastic gate valves, etc. If the sewage is acidic, it may be necessary to use a lining valve. It is very important for us to select the appropriate type of the soft seal butterfly valve according to different working conditions, so that it can be better used in sewage treatment working conditions. For example, when the chloride ion content in the water is 700mg/L, both steel-lined 4F and ordinary carbon steel butterfly valves can be used, while butterfly valves made of 304 and 316 are not good under this working condition because they cannot resist corrosion well.
For another example, a situation that many engineering pipelines in the north can encounter is that due to the low temperature in winter, the properties of many materials change at low temperatures, resulting in the loss of equipment or components. If the soft-seal wafer butterfly valve made of gray iron is selected in this case and the warmth is not well maintained, the valve will easily be broken by freezing. The major reason for this situation is that the weather is not considered in the pipeline design, which makes the system work abnormally. If the buried pipeline is buried deep enough and the exposed pipe fittings are insulated in place, this type of loss can be reduced. In winter in the north, facilities such as pipelines and valves are easily damaged. In addition to the low-temperature performance of the materials, there is another important reason: the water in the pipeline or pump is frozen. In the case of the same quality, the volume of ice is larger than that of the water, pipeline or pump. If there is water, the valve can easily burst. Under such working conditions, the manufacturers of soft-seal butterfly valve suggest that water treatment in the north, except that the pipeline is buried under the frozen layer, should first be insulated before the pipeline enters water, and ensure that there is water flowing or Empty the water after parking. If there is no more water, be sure to drain the water in the pipe. Otherwise, as long as there is still water after parking, there will be freezing cracks from the weak points of the pipeline or butterfly valve.
In the enquiry reception of Tanghai Valve, we also received customer inquiries regarding municipal sewage treatment whether it would be better to choose imported soft-seal wafer butterfly valves, but our suggestion is generally that municipal sewage does not need to be imported. Because the imported price is expensive and the delivery period is long, domestic valve manufacturers can do it. Generally, the use conditions of valves in sewage treatment plant projects are relatively low, and domestic valves not only meet the needs of use, but also save costs. A better domestic factory can meet the requirements, but the design institute generally chooses imported brands according to the situation.

Information about stainless steel wafer butterfly valve

December 27, 2021

Stainless steel wafer butterfly valves are metal butterfly valves. Metal valves generally have a longer life than elastic sealing valves, but it is difficult to achieve a complete seal. The metal seal can adapt to higher working temperature, while the elastic seal has the defect of being limited by temperature.

The structure of stainless steel wafer butterfly valve

Double eccentric-wafer butterfly valve-D372F-150lbP-stainless steel (1)

If the butterfly valve is required to be used as a flow control, the main thing is to correctly select the size and type of the valve. The structure principle of the butterfly valve is especially suitable for making large-diameter valves. Stainless steel wafer butterfly valves are not only widely used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, water treatment, etc., but also used in cooling water systems of thermal power stations. The commonly used wafer butterfly valve uses stud bolts to connect the valve between the two pipeline flanges. The flanged butterfly valve has a flange on the valve, and the two ends of the valve are flanged to the pipeline flange with bolts.

Installation of stainless steel wafer butterfly valve
The butterfly plate of the stainless steel wafer butterfly valve is installed in the diameter direction of the pipeline. In the cylindrical passage of the butterfly valve body, the disc-shaped butterfly plate rotates around the axial direction, and the rotation angle is between 0° and 90°. When the rotation reaches 90°, the valve is in a fully open state. The wafer butterfly valve is simple in structure, small in size and light in weight, and consists of only a few parts. Moreover, it can be opened and closed quickly by rotating 90°, and the operation is simple. At the same time, the valve has good fluid control characteristics. When the butterfly valve is in the fully open position, the thickness of the butterfly plate is the only resistance for the medium to flow through the valve body.

Classification of stainless steel wafer butterfly valves
According to the form, it can be divided into offset plate type, vertical plate type, inclined plate type and lever type. According to the sealing form, it can be divided into two types: soft sealing type and hard sealing type. The soft seal type generally uses a rubber ring seal, and the hard seal type generally uses a metal ring seal. According to the transmission mode, it can be divided into manual, gear transmission, pneumatic, hydraulic and electric.

Features of the new electric wafer butterfly valve:
1. It adopts double eccentric structure, with tighter and tighter sealing function, and reliable sealing performance.
2. The sealing material is made of stainless steel and nitrile oil-resistant rubber pairing, which has a long service life.
3. The rubber sealing ring can be located on the valve body or on the butterfly plate, which can be applied to different characteristics of media for users to choose.
4. The butterfly plate adopts a frame structure with high strength, large flow area and small flow resistance.
5. In order to effectively prevent corrosion, the overall paint will be applied to facilitate the replacement of valve seat sealing materials for use in different media.
6. This valve has a two-way sealing function. It is not controlled by the flow direction of the medium during installation and is not affected by the spatial position. It can be installed in any direction.
7. It has the advantages of small size, light weight, reliable performance, simple matching, and large flow capacity, which is especially suitable for clean liquids and gases.
