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

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.

How to select electric actuator of the electric regulating butterfly valve

November 25, 2021

The valve electric actuator is an important driving force of the electric regulating butterfly valve, and its selection determines the actual on-site operation of the product. At the same time, the selection of electric actuators has some own selection criteria. Mainly from the operating torque, host structure, output shaft rotation, output speed, etc. to consider, more detailed principles will be shared below:
1. The operating torque is an important parameter for selecting the valve electric device. The output torque of the electric actuator should be 1.2 to 1.5 times the larger operating torque of the valve.

2. The main structure of the valve electric device is divided into two types: without thrust plate and with thrust plate. The main difference between the two is whether the torque is directly output or converted by the stem nut in the thrust plate.
3. The number of rotations of the output shaft is related to the nominal diameter of the valve, the pitch of the stem, and the number of thread heads. The total number of rotations that the electric device should meet = valve opening height/stem thread head number X valve Rod drive thread pitch.
4. The diameter of the optional valve stem must be allowed to pass by the electric device. That is to say, the inner diameter of the hollow output shaft of the electric device must be larger than the outer diameter of the stem of the rising stem valve. At the same time, in order to ensure that the electric regulating butterfly valve can work normally after assembly, the diameter of the valve stem and the size of the keyway need to be selected appropriately.
5. The output speed needs to be appropriate. If the opening and closing speed of the valve is too fast, water hammer is likely to occur. So choose according to the usage.
The above are the problems that need to be paid attention to in the selection of the electric valve electric actuator of the electric regulating butterfly valve. In terms of packaging and transportation, there are also some points to pay attention to regarding valve electrical equipment. First of all, the packaging of electrical equipment such as valve electric actuators should be protected from rain, moisture, and dust, and the packaging should be firm and reliable. After receiving the goods, they should be installed immediately. If it needs to be placed for a period of time, the storage environment should be kept ventilated and dry, and it should not be stored in the open air. At the same time, it is forbidden to carry out debugging and maintenance on cloudy and rainy days. After the pressure test is completed, re-tighten all the firmware to ensure that the electrical part is tightly sealed to prevent corrosion loss and affect later use.
The valve electric actuator of the electric regulating butterfly valve is an indispensable device for the realization of valve program control, automatic control and remote control. Its movement process is controlled by the stroke, torque or axial thrust. The correct selection of valve electric devices is essential to prevent overload.

According to the action mode, electric butterfly valves are classified into on-off type and regulating type. The switch type is to directly switch on the power supply to complete the switching action by switching the positive and negative directions. Regulating type uses AC220V power supply as power and receives 4-20mA signal preset by the industrial automation control system to complete the adjustment action. In various industrial automation production pipeline flow, pressure, temperature control, such as electric power, metallurgy, petrochemical, environmental protection, energy management, fire protection systems, etc., there are electric butterfly valves. Below we are going to take a look at the different working conditions applicable to different types of electric butterfly valves:
1. Wafer type electric butterfly valve, suitable for medium temperature ≤80～120℃, such as food, chemical, petroleum, electric power, textile, paper and other water supply and drainage, gas pipelines, used as flow adjustment and interception medium.
2. The soft-sealed electric butterfly valve has very good sealing performance. It can be made as a sanitary valve to achieve the effect of not polluting the medium.
3. The hard-sealed electric butterfly valve is made of hard alloy or stainless steel, which makes the sealing surface high in strength, hardness and wear resistance. Tanghai’s hard-sealed electric butterfly valve can be opened and closed continuously for more than 10,000 times without damage.
4. Flange electric butterfly valve, tightness, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and wear resistance have been firmly ensured, and it is suitable for high temperature and high pressure working conditions.
5. The rubber-lined electric butterfly valve is suitable for use in fresh water, sea water, salt, weak alkali, weak acid, natural gas, air, steam, oil, food and other media because of its good sealing performance.
6. The ventilation electric butterfly valve is made of the same material as the valve body and processed into a sealing ring. Its applicable temperature depends on the material selection of the valve body. The nominal pressure is ≤ 0.6MPa. It is usually used in industrial, metallurgical, environmental protection and other pipelines for ventilation and adjustment of medium flow.
