The Basic Knowledge of Butterfly Valves

September 6, 2021

Butterfly valve is also called butterfly type valve or flap valve, which is a kind of regulating valve with very simple structure. Its main structure is composed of valve body, butterfly plate, valve stem, valve seat, transmission device and operating mechanism.
How does the butterfly valve work?
The working principle of the butterfly valve is that a disc-shaped butterfly plate is used as the opening and closing part, which is connected with the valve stem and rotates with the valve stem around its own axis in the valve body to realize the opening and closing and adjustment of the pipeline. When the butterfly plate rotates 90° in the closed position, the valve is in a fully open state. At this time, the thickness of the butterfly plate is the only resistance to the flow of the medium, and the resistance is very small. In addition, changing the angle of the butterfly plate can be used to adjust the media flow. Butterfly valves are generally installed in the diameter direction of the pipeline and can be installed at any position.
The structural principle of the butterfly valve is very suitable for making large-diameter valves, which are used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical industry, and water treatment. The most common fault in the use of butterfly valves is that the sealing surface rubber of the butterfly valve is corroded, worn and teared, aging or even falling off during long-term continuous use, which causes the valve to jam and cannot be closed normally, which affects the valve’s performance. Sealing performance. In order to solve this problem, the structure of the butterfly valve has been continuously optimized.
The simplest butterfly valve is the concentric butterfly valve, that is, the shaft center of the valve stem, the center of the butterfly plate, and the center of the body are in the same position. The structure of this kind of butterfly valve is very simple. The disadvantage is that the butterfly plate and the valve seat are severely squeezed and scratched, and the sealing surface wears quickly.
In order to make up for the shortcomings of the concentric butterfly valve, the single eccentric butterfly valve was born. The stem axis of the single eccentric butterfly valve deviated from the sealing center of the valve plate, so that the lower end of the butterfly plate is no longer the center of rotation, and the lower end of the butterfly plate and the valve seat are reduced. The pressure brought by the excessive squeeze.

The double eccentric butterfly valve is an improvement based on the single eccentric butterfly valve. The stem axis of the double eccentric butterfly valve deviates from the center of the seal and the center of the valve body. The advantage of the double eccentric butterfly valve is that the butterfly plate can be quickly separated from the valve seat after the valve is opened, which largely eliminates unnecessary squeezing and scratching between the butterfly plate and the valve seat, and also reduces the opening and closing of the valve. Resistance, wear and tear are reduced, and the life of the valve seat is improved.
All of the above valves have a shortcoming. They are all soft-sealed and cannot withstand high temperatures, but the use of high-temperature resistant metal materials to make butterfly valves has no guarantee of sealing performance. In order to solve this problem, a triple eccentric butterfly valve was developed.
The biggest feature of the triple eccentric butterfly valve is that it fundamentally changes the sealing structure of the butterfly valve. The triple eccentric butterfly valve is a torsion seal, not a position seal, that is to say, it no longer relies on the elastic deformation of the valve seat to seal, but completely relies on The contact surface pressure of the valve seat achieves the sealing effect. Therefore, the triple eccentric butterfly valve is resistant to high temperature, high pressure, and corrosion, but also has a good sealing effect.

Applicable occasions and application conditions of butterfly valves

August 17, 2021

At present, the butterfly valve has become the most widely used valve in the application field. Many people are not very familiar with the applicable occasions of butterfly valves. This article will take you to understand the applicable occasions and application conditions of butterfly valves, so that you have a better understanding of butterfly valves.
When the valve plate of the butterfly valve is opened and closed, there is wiping property between the butterfly plate and the valve seat, so the butterfly valve can be used in the flowing medium pipeline with suspended solid particles, according to the strength of the seal. It can also be used in powder and granular flowing medium pipelines.

The structure length and overall height of the butterfly valve are not large, and the opening and closing speed is very fast. When the butterfly valve is fully opened, only the butterfly plate in the valve body is the only resistance to the flow of the medium, so the fluid resistance of the butterfly valve is also very small. Between 15° and 70°, sensitive flow control can be performed. Therefore, according to the structure principle of the butterfly valve, the butterfly valve is most suitable for making large-diameter valves.

Specifically, the application occasions of butterfly valves are as follows:
1. In the pipeline that requires throttling, adjustment and control of flow;
2. In the working environment of mud medium and medium containing solid particles;
3. In occasions requiring short valve structure length;
4. In occasions requiring fast opening and closing speed;
5. In occasions where the pressure difference is small.

The butterfly valve can also be used under the following conditions:
1. In the case of two-position adjustment, narrowing passage, low noise, cavitation and vaporization, a small amount of leakage to the atmosphere, and abrasive media, butterfly valves can be used.
2. Under special working conditions, throttling adjustment or strict sealing requirements, or severe abrasion, low temperature and other working conditions require the use of three-eccentric or double-eccentric special butterfly valves with metal sealing belts.

The above is an introduction to the applicable occasions and application conditions of the butterfly valve. I hope to provide you with help in the use of the butterfly valve.

resilient seated butterfly valve vs metal seated butterfly valve

August 12, 2021

Butterfly valve, also called flap valve, has a wide range of uses. It is generally installed on pipelines that transport various corrosive and non-corrosive fluid media in gas, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, cold and hot air, chemical smelting and other engineering systems for adjustment. And cut off the flow of the medium. There are many types of butterfly valves, and different types of butterfly valves have different uses. Butterfly valves are classified according to the sealing form and can be divided into soft-sealed /resilient seated butterfly valves and hard-sealed /metal seated butterfly valves. Although there is only one word difference between the two types of butterfly valves, they are very different in terms of structural materials and application fields. This article will analyze the difference between a resilient seated butterfly valve and a metal seated butterfly valve.

The main difference between resilient seated butterfly valve and metal seated butterfly valve lies in the sealing surface:

The two sides of the sealing pair of the resilient seated butterfly valve are made of metal materials on one side, and the other side is made of elastic non-metallic materials, generally rubber or tetrafluoroplastics. The combination of this sealing material makes the resilient seated butterfly valve have good sealing performance, but it is not resistant to high temperature, easy to wear, and has a short service life.

Both sides of the sealing pair of the metal seated butterfly valve are made of metal materials. The metal-to-metal seal makes the sealing performance of the metal seated butterfly valve normal, but it is resistant to high temperature, pressure and abrasion, and has a long service life.

The seat of the soft sealing butterfly valve is made of rubber or tetrafluoroplastic. It has excellent sealing performance and can achieve zero leakage, but it has a relatively short service life and is not resistant to high temperatures. It is also not suitable for some highly corrosive media pipelines. The sealing seat of the hard-sealed butterfly valve is made of metal material, and the sealing performance is

relatively poor, but it is wear-resistant and has strong pressure resistance. It is suitable for strong corrosive medium pipelines.

In addition to the difference in the sealing surface, the difference between the resilient seated butterfly valve and the metal seated butterfly valve is as follows:

Resilient seatedbutterfly valves are mostly center-line type. Metal seatedbutterfly valves are mostly single eccentric, double eccentric and triple eccentric.
The Resilient seatedbutterfly valve is suitable for normal temperature environment. metal seatedbutterfly valves are well adapted to low temperature, normal temperature and high temperature environments.
The Resilient seatedbutterfly valve is suitable for low pressure and normal pressure environment. metal seated butterfly valveis not only suitable for low pressure and normal pressure, but also suitable for medium and high pressure working environment.
As mentioned above, the sealing performance of the Resilient seatedbutterfly valve is better than that of the metal seatedbutterfly valve, but now in order to adapt the hard sealing butterfly valve to more working conditions, it has a special process
The Resilient seatedbutterfly valve is suitable for the two-way opening and closing of the ventilation and dust removal pipeline and the adjustment of water treatment, light industry, petroleum, chemical and other industries. metal seatedbutterfly valves are mostly used in heating, gas, gas, oil, acid and alkali environments.

Structural characteristics & features of flanged butterfly valves

July 8, 2021

The basic knowledge and structural characteristics of flange butterfly valves:
The flanged butterfly valve has introduced a self-sealing design concept, in which the connection between the disc and the valve shaft adopts a patented pull-out pin structure. The main features of the valve are reliable sealing, bi-directional sealing, and tight connection without loosening, so that the valve can be used for a long time. Its characteristics are as follows:

Double flange butterfly valve (16)

Two-way sealing
Generally, traditional butterfly valves cannot be sealed well under the working pressure in the opposite direction (not conducive to the sealing direction) due to their structural reasons. At present, the relevant national standards do not have mandatory regulations for two-way sealing. This is because:
1. Adopting the self-sealing design concept. The disc sealing ring is directly embedded in the disc in a zigzag shape with rubber, and there is no need to use pressure rings or bolts to fix, thus avoiding the uneven force of the sealing ring caused by the traditional bolt pressure plate type seal, which makes the bolts The problem of falling off and premature damage to the sealing ring. Under the action of the working pressure in the opposite direction, the sealing ring generates self-sealing force, which increases the specific pressure of the seal. The sealing ring compresses the valve seat. The greater the working pressure in the opposite direction, the greater the self-sealing force, so that the sealing ring and the valve seat The combination is tight to achieve the effect of two-way sealing.

2. The disc has good rigidity and is not easy to deform. The disc of butterfly valve above DN300 is a double-plate truss flow-through structure, with small flow resistance and good rigidity. Under the working pressure in the opposite direction, it is not easy to deform, so that the sealing ring will not follow the disc Deformed and separated from the best sealing point of the valve seat, thus ensuring the sealing effect of the sealing ring.
3. Long life of rubber sealing ring
(1) Due to the self-sealing design concept, the small interference between the rubber ring and the stainless steel valve seat only maintains the initial seal, so the specific pressure required for the seal increases with the increase of the system pressure.
(2) In addition, there is a so-called “breathing” groove for rubber elastic retreat in the zigzag groove, so that the rubber has a certain expansion space when it is under pressure, so that it will not produce elastic fatigue during long-term work, so it is sealed The life of the ring is greatly increased compared with the traditional type.
Patent design withdrawal pin structure
Usually in the process of using the butterfly valve, due to the traditional pin connection, the pin passes through the center of the valve shaft, which not only reduces the strength of the valve shaft, but also creates a gap between the valve shaft and the valve shaft during long-term use, which will cause an impact when the valve is opened and closed. Load, this load is much greater than the load generated by the extrusion stress and shear stress under normal conditions. Often the pin is severely deformed or broken during use, which makes the valve closed or fails, and greatly reduces the valve Service life. If the newly produced valve adopts the US patent design withdrawing pin structure to replace the pin connection structure between the shaft and the valve disc, the withdrawal pin does not pass through the center of the valve shaft, not only does not weaken the strength of the shaft, but also connects with the valve shaft. The fitting surface is greatly increased. By tightening the withdrawal pin nut, a pre-tightening force is generated between the withdrawal pin and the valve shaft joint surface, so that the disc valve shaft is tightly combined without gaps, and it will not be used when opening and closing the valve. The impact load is generated, so that the valve flap rotates smoothly, thereby realizing reliable sealing.
Unique design of the bottom axial adjustment and locking device
In butterfly valves above DN300, considering the reliability of the self-weight seal of the butterfly plate, the position of the disc on the valve seat is in the best sealing state through precise adjustment and fixation of the axial position during manufacturing. For the sagging of the valve clack that may be caused during long-term use, it is also convenient to further adjust the lock to achieve zero leakage in long-term use.
Easy to replace the sealing ring
When the sealing ring needs to be replaced, there is no need to remove the disc, just open the valve fully, and then take out the key from the operating device, after the operating device is adjusted to the closed state, it still maintains the key connection with the main valve, and then continues in the opening direction Turn the hand wheel until the sealing ring is on the side of the valve body sealing surface to replace the sealing ring.

Selection and application of eccentric butterfly valve

June 23, 2021

Selection and application of eccentric butterfly valve
The advantages of eccentric butterfly valves and other butterfly valves are very prominent, so they are widely used in all aspects of life and work to meet various requirements. Moreover, with the continuous development of eccentric sealing butterfly valve technology, the space for its use becomes more and more extensive. TH valve company can produce double eccentric butterfly valve and triple eccentric butterfly valves, with good quality and reasonable prices.

Application of double eccentric sealing butterfly valve
The double eccentric sealing butterfly valve adopts an eccentric structure design. The main structure of the valve is composed of valve body, butterfly plate, valve seat, valve stem and transmission mechanism. The valve seat adopts a detachable structure and can be based on the physical and chemical properties of different media. Corresponding corrosion-resistant, light-resistant, and aging-resistant materials are selected, which can be widely used in fluid pipelines such as water supply and drainage, sewage, construction, air conditioning, petroleum, chemical, food, medicine, textile, papermaking, hydropower, shipbuilding, metallurgy, energy systems, etc. Used as a regulating and intercepting device. The double eccentric butterfly valve usually uses tetrafluoroethylene material as its sealing seat, and can also use metal sealing seat to expand its application in the high temperature field. However, the seal of the double eccentric butterfly valve with metal sealing seat is still a positional sealing structure, that is, the sealing surface of the butterfly plate and the seat is in line contact, so it cannot withstand high pressure, and it will inevitably lead to greater leakage when used in a high pressure system. Therefore, double eccentric butterfly valves with metal seal seats should be avoided as far as possible in high-pressure or tight shut-off systems.

Application of triple eccentric sealing butterfly valve
The triple eccentric butterfly valve, as the crystallization of the latest technology of valves, takes advantage of the advantages of various valves and avoids the shortcomings of various valves, and has attracted more and more

attention from users and designers. The maximum pressure level can reach 2500 pounds, the standard caliber can reach 48 inches, and the clamp, lug, flange, ring connection, butt welding, jacket, various structural lengths, etc. can be corresponded, due to the room for material selection Very large, high and low temperature, various acids, alkalis and other corrosive media can also respond freely. Especially in the aspect of large diameter, with its zero leakage advantage, it is constantly replacing the thick gate valve and ball valve in the shut-off valve. Similarly, with its excellent control function, it is also constantly replacing the bulky control valve. Shut-off valve. So far, triple eccentric sealing butterfly valves have been used in various important pipelines including China’s oil and gas exploration, offshore platforms, petroleum refining, petrochemicals, inorganic chemicals, energy power generation and other major industrial fields such as process control. In actual engineering, if the working pressure of the system is not less than 1.0 MPa or in important parts that need to be opened frequently, triple eccentric butterfly valves can be used.

Difference between soft seal butterfly valve and hard seal butterfly valve

July 28, 2020

The difference between soft seal butterfly valve and hard seal butterfly valve:

A butterfly valve hard seal refers to a “hard seal” in which both sides of the seal pair are made of metal materials or other harder materials. This kind of seal has poor

ductile iron, DI, butterfly valve, manufacturer, center line, TH valve

sealing performance, but high temperature resistance, wear resistance, and good mechanical properties. For example, : Steel + Steel; Steel + Copper; Steel + Graphite; Steel + Alloy Steel; (The steel here may also be cast iron, cast steel, alloy steel or surfacing, sprayed alloy).

The soft seal seal pair is made of metal materials on one side and elastic non-metallic materials on the other side. It is called “soft seal”. This kind of seal has better sealing performance, but it is not resistant to high temperatures, easy to wear, and mechanical Poor performance. Such as: steel + rubber; steel + tetrafluoropolyethylene; etc. The soft sealing seat is made of non-metallic materials with certain strength, hardness and temperature resistance, with good sealing performance, zero leakage, but life And the adaptability to temperature is relatively poor. The hard seal is made of metal, and the sealing performance is relatively poor, although some manufacturers claim that it can achieve zero leakage. The soft seal cannot meet the process requirements for some corrosive materials, and the hard seal can solve it! These two types of seals can complement each other. In terms of tightness, the soft seal is relatively good, but now the tightness of the hard seal can also meet the corresponding requirements! The advantage of the soft seal is good sealing performance, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to age, wear, and has a short service life. The hard seal has a long service life, but the tightness is relatively worse than that of the soft seal.

The main differences in its structure are as follows
1. The difference in structure

Soft seal butterfly valves are mostly centerline type, and hard seals are mostly single eccentric, double eccentric, and triple eccentric butterfly valves.

2. Temperature resistance

The soft seal is used in normal temperature environment. Hard seal can be used in low temperature, normal temperature, high temperature and other environments

3. Pressure

Soft seal low pressure-normal pressure, hard seal can also be used in medium and high pressure conditions

4. Sealing performance: The soft sealing and triple eccentric hard sealing butterfly valves have better sealing performance. The triple eccentric butterfly valve can maintain good sealing under high pressure and high temperature environment.

In view of the above characteristics, the soft sealing 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 butterfly valves are mostly used in heating, gas, gas, oil, acid and alkali environments.

With the widespread use of butterfly valves, its features of convenient installation, convenient maintenance and simple structure become more and more obvious. Electric soft-sealed butterfly valves, pneumatic soft-sealed butterfly valves, hard-sealed butterfly valves, etc. have begun to replace electric gate valves and globe valves in more and more occasions.

Installation instructions of double eccentric butterfly valve

July 24, 2020

Installation instructions of double eccentric butterfly valve:
1. Before installation, you must carefully check whether the valve’s mark and certificate of conformity meet the requirements for use, and clean it after verification.

Double eccentric-wafer butterfly valve-D72F-150lbP-stainless steel (3)

Uninstalled valves should be stored in a dry room. Valves stored for a long time should be cleaned regularly, dried and coated with anti-rust oil. Blind plates shall be used to protect the flange sealing surface at both ends of the valve.
2. Install according to the flow direction of the medium; horizontal installation is preferred.
3. The connecting bolts of the butterfly valve and the pipeline should be tightened several times in the diagonal direction during installation, and no single piece should be tightened at a time to prevent the flange connection from leaking due to uneven force.
4. When installing the butterfly valve, the butterfly plate should be in the closed position to prevent debris from entering the valve cavity and scratching the sealing surface. When the user wants to test the pressure, be sure to install the flange pair on both ends and test the pressure.
5. When connecting the valve to the pipeline, it is required to use butt-welded steel flanges or special butterfly valve flanges on the pipeline. If flat-welded steel flanges are used, the inner hole of the flange must be the same size as the inner hole of the gasket to ensure the effective sealing surface of the gasket.
6. When the electric butterfly valve leaves the factory, the opening and closing stroke of the control mechanism has been adjusted. In order to prevent the direction from being wrong when the power is turned on, the user must manually move to 1/3 of the closed position before turning on the power for the first time. And check whether the direction of the indicator plate is consistent with the opening direction of the valve.
7. When the valve is in use, if any malfunction is found, stop using it immediately

Classification and features of Eccentric butterfly valves

July 24, 2020

Eccentric butterfly valves are divided into single eccentric butterfly valves, double eccentric butterfly valves, triple eccentric butterfly valves, and variable eccentric butterfly valves. Contrast with concentric butterfly valve. A butterfly valve whose stem axis deviates from the center of the disc and the center of the body at the same time, and the sealing pair is an oblique vertebra is called an eccentric butterfly valve.

high performance-double eccentric-butterlfy valve-wafer-lug-flanged (5)

Structure classification of eccentric butterfly valve:
Single eccentric butterfly valve
In order to solve the problem of the extrusion of the butterfly plate and the valve seat of the concentric butterfly valve, a single eccentric butterfly valve was produced. Its structural feature is that the shaft center of the valve stem deviates from the center of the butterfly plate, so that the lower end of the butterfly plate no longer becomes the rotation axis. Disperse and reduce the excessive squeezing between the lower end of the butterfly plate and the valve seat.
Double eccentric butterfly valve
On the basis of the single eccentric butterfly valve, the double eccentric butterfly valve is the most widely used double eccentric butterfly valve. Its structural feature is that the axis of the valve stem deviates from the center of the butterfly plate and the center of the body. The double eccentric effect enables the butterfly plate to be released from the valve seat immediately after the valve is opened, which greatly eliminates unnecessary excessive extrusion and scratching of the butterfly plate and the valve seat, reduces the opening resistance, reduces wear and improves The life of the valve seat is improved.
Triple eccentric butterfly valve
To withstand high temperatures, hard seals must be used, but the amount of leakage is large; for zero leakage, soft seals must be used, but they are not resistant to high temperatures. In order to overcome the contradiction of the double eccentric butterfly valve, the butterfly valve was eccentric for the third time. The so-called third eccentricity means that the shape of the sealing pair is not a positive cone, but an oblique cone.
Variable eccentric butterfly valve
The uniqueness of the variable eccentric butterfly valve is that the valve stem shaft where the butterfly plate is installed is a three-segment shaft structure. The three-segment shaft type valve stem has two shaft sections concentric, and the center line of the central shaft is offset from the two ends of the axis by a center distance , The butterfly plate is installed on the intermediate shaft section. Such an eccentric structure makes the butterfly plate a double eccentric shape when in the fully open position, and a single eccentric shape when the butterfly plate rotates to the closed position. Due to the effect of the eccentric shaft, when close to closing, the butterfly plate moves a

triple eccentric butterfly valve-lug

distance into the sealing cone surface of the valve seat, and the butterfly plate matches the sealing surface of the valve seat to achieve reliable sealing performance.

Features of eccentric butterfly valve:

The butterfly valve and the upper and lower valve shafts are connected by special-shaped holes and special-shaped shafts. During the opening and closing process of the butterfly plate, the function of the butterfly plate floating up and down, left and right, without a pin link, reduces the interference area between the butterfly plate and the valve seat. Thereby greatly reducing the torque. The floating structure of the butterfly plate realizes the single eccentric manufacturing process and the use function of variable eccentricity.
There is an over-position stopper for the butterfly plate in the inner cavity of the valve body to ensure that the butterfly plate is not in place when it is closed.
Bushings are used between the upper and lower valve shaft holes of the valve body cavity and the upper and lower valve shaft holes of the butterfly plate to prevent large particles in the medium from entering the valve shaft holes.
