Instructions for the safe use of resilient seated flanged butterfly valves

The resilient seated flanged butterfly valve has the characteristics of small opening torque, flexibility and convenience, labor-saving and energy-saving. The sealing form of the soft seal has reliable performance and can achieve no leakage. Therefore, the use of flange soft-seal butterfly valve is very wide, and it has its presence in all major pipeline systems, and its safe use has gradually attracted attention.

First of all, the safety of the valve piping system must first consider the main valve. A soft-seal flanged butterfly valve is required to be used as a safety master valve. The function is to cut off and connect the entire pipeline system. In normal production, it is also in the normally open state. The main valve is generally not used to adjust the flow rate and should be installed at the inlet of the main pipeline.
Secondly, a main valve is also needed at the inlet of the branch pipeline. The butterfly valve here is mainly used to control the branch pipeline safely. In addition to the cut-off function, the main valve of the branch pipeline also has the function of adjusting the flow rate. Adjust the flow rate to meet the needs of the branch pipeline flow size, and strictly follow a certain ratio, which is adjusted and controlled by the main valve of each branch pipeline. There should be two flanged soft-seal butterfly valves or safety valves that are often switched on or off or used for adjustment. One of the butterfly valves is spare and is normally open and not in use. A spare valve can be used if there is a problem with the working butterfly valve, so that it will not affect the production. After repairing, a butterfly valve is still reserved as a spare.
On liquid and gas pipelines, a safety drain valve is required at the lowest point or at a suitable place. The function is to empty the medium blocked in the pipeline to avoid air resistance in the pipeline. Because the gas in the pipe will reduce the pipe section, increase the transmission resistance, reduce the flow rate, and affect production. For some special liquids that will dissolve gas after a certain period of time and cannot be discharged during operation, it is also necessary to drain the butterfly valve.
The closing of the resilient seated flanged butterfly valve also has safety requirements. After the valve is closed tightly, some media will also change as the temperature changes, and the thermal expansion of the valve components will increase the pressure between the butterfly valve and the valve seat. When it is turned on again, it will inevitably bring difficulties. Therefore, the torque required to open the valve will be greater than the torque required to close the valve. The resilient seated flanged butterfly valve needs to overcome the increase of static friction due to the increase of the pressure between the sealing surfaces due to the temperature change. Because of the friction between the sealing surfaces, when the valve is closed and opened again, the required torque is much larger than the torque required to close the valve.

Correct installation of flanged butterfly valve can effectively prevent leakage

Butterfly valve has the advantages of good flow adjustment function and good closing and sealing characteristics, so it has become one of the fastest-growing valve varieties in the past ten years. It has simple and compact structure, light weight, convenient operation, reliable performance, complete functions, beautiful appearance, easy

maintenance, and is very popular with customers. In actual working conditions, if you want the flanged butterfly valve to achieve effective leakage prevention, the correct installation method is very important. Today, the editor of Tanghai Valve will share with you the installation precautions of the flange butterfly valve, as follows:
1. Before installation, you must carefully check whether the valve’s logo and certificate meet the requirements for use, such as Tanghai D342X flange rubber-sealed butterfly valve, to see whether the product brand, model, etc. are consistent with the valve required for the pipeline, and clean it after verification. Here is also the storage problem of flanged butterfly valves: the butterfly valves that have not been installed and used for the time being must be stored in a dry room; the butterfly valves that have been stored for a long time should be cleaned regularly, blown dry, and coated with anti-rust oil. The flange sealing surface should be protected by a blind plate.
2. Install according to the medium and its flow direction. For example, if you use water, you need to use ethylene-propylene rubber gaskets. When tightening the bolts, use the symmetrical or star-shaped torque method; if you use corrosive media, use PTFE gaskets. When tightening the bolts, use Torque on symmetrical or star-shaped method;
3. When installing the connecting bolts of the flange butterfly valve and the pipeline, do not tighten a single piece at one time, and should tighten it in diagonally opposite directions multiple times to prevent the uneven force from leaking at the flange connection.
4. When installing the butterfly valve, keep the butterfly plate in the closed position to prevent debris from entering the worn sealing surface. When the user is testing pressure, the pressure can be tested only after the two ends are installed with flange pairs.
5. When the valve is connected to the pipeline, flanges of appropriate specifications should be selected to ensure an effective sealing surface.
6. Before the electric flange butterfly valve is connected to the power supply for the first time, it needs to be manually adjusted to 1/3 of the closed position, and check whether the direction of the indicator plate is consistent with the opening direction of the valve.
7. When the flange butterfly valve is in use, if any malfunction is found, it should be stopped immediately.
Master the above correct installation method, flange butterfly valve will be more confidential and durable in application. If you are in need of purchasing high-quality flanged butterfly valves, Tanghai will be your best choice. The sealing surface of Tanghai flange butterfly valve has high processing precision, small opening friction and easy closing. Not only the self-sealing performance and the sealing performance are stable, but it also has the characteristics of self-locking that becomes tighter and tighter. It is suitable for gas, steam, air, water and other media. You are welcome to inquire.
