commonly used valves Archives

Common valve failures include leakage, opening and closing parts damage and failure, etc. One of the most important reasons for the valve failure problem is that the valve is not well maintained. The valve is an important part of the pipeline transportation system. Maintenance and maintenance can make the valve better serve us. At the same time, it can also prevent valve failure from the source and reduce production accidents caused by valve failure. Therefore, this article will talk about the maintenance methods of commonly used valves.

1. For valves that are not in use for a long time, they must be cleaned regularly to remove dirt and dust on the exposed surface of the valve, and at the same time, they must be sealed to ensure that the inside of the valve is clean and dry. Store the valve neatly in a ventilated and dry place indoors, and it is strictly forbidden to stack it or store it in the open air. When storing, the butterfly valve is the easiest to store, just keep the butterfly plate in the closed state. For gate valves, globe valves and check valves, both ends of the passage should be blocked during storage, and the valve plate should be closed. The storage of the ball valve requires that both ends are blocked and in an open state.
2. Before installing the valve, you need to check the pressure and diameter of the valve again, and clean up the dirt on the valve during transportation.
3. When installing the valve, install the valve correctly according to the connection method of the valve. Generally, the commonly used valves can be installed at any position in the pipeline, but it is necessary to consider whether the operation of the operator is convenient after installation and whether it is convenient for future valve maintenance .
4. When the gate valve and ball valve are working, they are only used for fully open and fully closed. They cannot be used for flow adjustment, otherwise the sealing surface will be severely washed and corroded, and the opening and closing parts of the valve will be greatly worn.
5. When the handle valve and handwheel valve are opened or closed, levers, wrenches or other tools cannot be used to avoid damage to the valves.
6. Tighten the bolts on the valve packing gland evenly. Don’t beat the gland to make the gland tilt, which will damage or hinder the movement of the valve stem and cause valve leakage.
7. During use, the valve should be maintained regularly to keep the valve clean, and the transmission part should be regularly lubricated. Once the valve is found to be malfunctioning, it must be stopped immediately to find out the cause of the malfunction and clean up the malfunction.

Valves often used in water supply and drainage piping systems include butterfly valve, gate valve, check valve.
This article introduces common water supply and drainage system valves one by one.
1. Butterfly valve: a simple regulating valve, generally used in low-pressure medium pipelines for cutting off and intercepting. It is also one of the common valves in water supply and drainage piping systems. It regulates and intercepts the flow of water on the water supply and drainage pipeline. The butterfly valve is small in size, light in weight, easy to install and operate, but the opening and closing torque is relatively large.

The butterfly valve can be divided into wafer butterfly valve and flange butterfly valve according to the connection mode; according to the different driving mode, it can be divided into handle butterfly valve, turbine butterfly valve, electric butterfly valve, pneumatic butterfly valve, etc.
2. Gate valve: It can only be a kind of valve that can cut off the flow of the pipeline medium. The structure of the gate valve is more complicated. It can only be fully opened and fully closed. The opening and closing torque is small, the fluid resistance in the pipeline is small, and it can flow in both directions. The gate valve is most suitable for media that does not contain particles, such as water, because the sealing surface of the gate is easy to wear with impurities or particles in the medium. In addition, impurities precipitate to the bottom of the valve body, which will affect the sealing performance of the gate valve. Causes the defect that the valve is not closed tightly.

The gate valve is only suitable for use in pipelines that need to be normally open or normally closed, because if the gate valve is frequently opened and closed, it may cause the valve plate to fall off and make the system lose its control ability.
The gate valve can be divided into parallel plate gate valve and wedge plate gate valve according to the difference of the gate. According to the difference of valve stem, it can be divided into open stem gate valve and dark stem gate valve.
3. Shut-off valve: similar to gate valve, the functions of the two are similar when the medium in the pipeline is cut off. But the difference between the globe valve and the gate valve is that the globe valve has a simpler structure and is more convenient to maintain, but the force used to switch the valve is greater than that of the gate valve. In addition, the globe valve is a one-way valve. When installing, pay attention to the valve body. The instructions on the operation must not be reversed.
4. Check valve: It is also a list valve and check valve, which has strict directio

nality and stipulates that the medium is only allowed to flow in one direction. The check valve is used in pipelines where the medium is water, and is mainly used to prevent backflow of water.
Commonly used check valves include butterfly check valves, muffler check valves, swing check valves and so on. When installing, according to the type of valve, determine whether to install on a vertical pipeline or a horizontal pipeline, and install it strictly in the direction marked by the arrow on the valve body, and the installation cannot be reversed.
