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.

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.
Features: It is the most ideal anti-corrosion material in the world at present, and it has been widely used in the lining of large-scale rotary forming equipment and pipe fittings.

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

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.

Types of Sealing Material of Electric Wafer Butterfly Valve

December 23, 2021

Electric wafer butterfly valves can be divided into soft-sealed butterfly valves and hard-sealed butterfly valves, which are distinguished according to the sealing materials of electric butterfly valves.

triple eccentric butterfly valve-wafer-lug-double flange-welded (5)

The soft sealing butterfly valve’s sealing feature is that one side of the two sides is made of metal material, and the

other side is made of elastic non-metal material, that is, one of the valve seat and the valve plate is made of elastic material, which is called “soft seal” . The hard seal butterfly valve means that both sides of the seal pair are made of metal materials or other harder materials, that is, the valve seat and the valve plate are both hard materials, which is called “hard seal”.

The difference between soft seal and hard seal of electric wafer butterfly valve
Although the soft-sealed electric wafer butterfly valve has certain strength, hardness and temperature resistance, it has good sealing performance and can achieve zero leakage. But it is not resistant to high temperature, easy to wear, and has poor mechanical properties. Our common ones are steel + rubber, steel + PTFE and so on. The hard seal of the butterfly valve has poor sealing performance, but it is resistant to high temperature, abrasion and mechanical properties. Such as steel + steel, steel + copper, steel + graphite, steel + alloy steel. The steel here can be cast iron, cast steel, alloy steel or surfacing, sprayed alloy.

The advantages and disadvantages of the soft and hard seals of the electric wafer butterfly valve

In terms of sealing performance, the soft-seal electric wafer butterfly valve is relatively good, but compared with the hard-seal butterfly valve’s corrosion resistance, the soft-seal electric butterfly valve cannot meet the process requirements for corrosive materials. The advantage of the soft sealing butterfly valve is that it has good sealing performance, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to age, wear, and has a short service

Double offset-butterfly valve-D972F-150lbC (1)

life. The hard-sealed butterfly valve has a long service life, but the sealing performance is relatively worse than that of the soft-sealed butterfly valve. Now there is a kind of multi-level sealing electric wafer butterfly valve that combines the advantages and disadvantages of soft sealing and hard sealing to form a complement to each other, which is a major upgrade of the product.

Different working conditions of soft and hard sealing of electric wafer butterfly valve
Let’s take a look at the different working conditions of the soft seal and the hard seal of the electric wafer butterfly valve from four aspects. The details are as follows:
1. Structure: soft-sealed electric wafer butterfly valves are mostly centerline butterfly valves, and hard-sealed electric wafer butterfly valves are mostly single eccentric butterfly valves, double eccentric butterfly valves, and triple eccentric butterfly valves.
2. Temperature resistance: soft-sealed electric butterfly valve is used in normal temperature environment. The hard-sealed electric butterfly valve can be used in low temperature, normal temperature, high temperature and other environments.
3. Pressure: The soft-sealed electric wafer butterfly valve can be used in low and normal pressure, and the hard-sealed electric butterfly valve can also be used in medium and high pressure conditions.
4. Sealing performance: The soft sealing electric butterfly valve and the triple eccentric hard sealing electric butterfly valve have better sealing performance. The triple eccentric butterfly valve can maintain a good seal under high pressure and high temperature environment.

Based on the above characteristics, the soft-sealed electric wafer butterfly valve is suitable for the two-way opening and closing and adjustment of ventilation and dust removal pipelines, water treatment, light industry, petroleum, chemical and other industries. Hard-sealed electric butterfly valves are mostly used in heating, gas, gas, oil, acid and alkali environments.

relies on a drive or an automatic mechanism to make the opening and closing parts move up and down, sliding, swinging or rotating, thereby changing the size of the flow channel to achieve its control function. The centerline wafer butterfly valve is very suitable for the flow adjustment of the fluid, and it is also used as the opening and closing of the medium. It is a very common pipe fitting in the industrial field. Different valve body materials will be suitable for different centerline butterfly valve classifications.

The body materials of the centerline wafer butterfly valve mainly include:
Gray cast iron: suitable for low-pressure valves with a working temperature between -15 and +200°C and a nominal pressure of PN ≤ 1.6 MPa;
Black core malleable cast iron: suitable for low- and medium-pressure valves with a working temperature between -15 and +250°C and a nominal pressure of PN≤2.5MPa;
Nodular cast iron: suitable for medium and low pressure valves with a working temperature between -30 and +350°C and a nominal pressure of PN≤4.0MPa;
Carbon steel (WCA, WCB, WCC): suitable for medium and high pressure valves with operating temperature between -29 and +425°C, of which 16Mn and 30Mn have operating temperatures between -40 and +450°C, often used to replace ASTMA105 ；
Low-temperature carbon steel (LCB): suitable for low-temperature valves and valves whose working temperature is between -46~+345℃;
Alloy steel (WC6, WC9): suitable for high temperature and high pressure valves for non-corrosive media with a working temperature between -29 and +595°C; WC5, WC12: suitable for corrosion at a working temperature between -29 and +650°C High temperature and high pressure valves for sexual media;
Austenitic stainless steel: suitable for valves with corrosive media whose working temperature is between -196~+600℃;
Monel alloy: mainly suitable for valves containing hydrogen and fluorine media;
Cast copper alloy: Mainly suitable for valves for oxygen pipelines whose operating temperature is between -273 and +200℃;

Listed above are the major categories of commonly used materials for valve bodies. In each category of material, there are many functional subdivisions for different pressure levels. In addition, the valve body materials include titanium alloy (titanium valve), aluminum alloy (aluminum valve); plastic (plastic valve); ceramic (ceramic valve) and so on. Therefore, when selecting the valve body material, the valve body material suitable for the working conditions should be determined according to different uses and different pressure levels.
The centerline wafer butterfly valve is a control component in the pipeline fluid conveying system. It is used to adjust the flow direction and flow of the medium, and has the functions of opening and closing and medium adjustment.
