Flange butterfly valve is more suitable for large and medium diameter pipelines

October 18, 2021

Commonly used butterfly valves include wafer butterfly valves, flanged butterfly valves and welded butterfly valves. Wafer type butterfly valve uses double-head bolts to connect the valve between two pipe flanges. Flange type

Double flange butterfly valve (16)

butterfly valve has flanges on the valve, and bolts are used to connect the flanges at both ends of the valve to the pipe flanges. The welding butterfly valve, as its name implies, is to weld the butterfly valve directly to the pipeline. The groove of the butt welding butterfly valve corresponds to the groove on the pipeline, and the welding rod is used to weld it. This type of connection is generally used in the case of high pressure media. Because welding is not easy to disassemble, the quality of the butterfly valve is required to be very high, and the price is naturally relatively high. Therefore, when DN50-300, flanged butterfly valve can be used, which is a cost-effective choice.
The flanged butterfly valve has its own flanges on both sides of the valve. Usually the flange and the valve body are cast together, so that the applicability to the pipeline is relatively strong, and it has the advantages of convenient installation and firmness. It is mainly used as a cut-off valve. Can have the function of a regulating valve. At present, flanged butterfly valves are used more and more on large and medium diameter, low pressure pipelines.
The butterfly plate of the flange butterfly valve is installed on the diameter side of the pipeline. The structural principle is very suitable for making large-diameter valves and has good fluid control characteristics. When the flange butterfly valve is in the fully open position, the thickness of the butterfly plate is the only resistance when the medium flows through the valve body. The larger the diameter, the lower the pressure. Therefore, the pressure drop generated by the flange butterfly valve is very small, so the flange butterfly valve can Actively play a role in large-diameter pipelines.
Flange 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 future market development prospects are bright.

electric wafer butterfly valve vs electric flange butterfly valve

July 27, 2021

The difference and selection of electric wafer butterfly valve and electric flange butterfly valve
As one of the most common valves in pipelines, electric butterfly valves are used to realize the on-off and flow control of various media in the pipeline system. They have been widely used in many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, and hydropower. application. Then in the commonly used electric butterfly valve, it can be

D673H-16C-stainless steel pneumatic triple eccentric butterfly valve

divided into two kinds, electric wafer butterfly valve and electric flange butterfly valve, and these two kinds of valves have their own characteristics, and they are not the same in performance. They can be used in Different industries.

For these two kinds of valves, in addition to the different structural forms, if they are under the same parameters, the biggest difference is that the connection method is different, that is, the installation form is different, which depends on the site working conditions!

The difference between electric wafer butterfly valve and electric flange butterfly valve:
The thickness of the electric wafer butterfly valve is relatively thin compared to the flanged butterfly valve. There are no flanges at both ends of the valve body, but only a few guide bolt holes. The valve uses a set of bolts/nuts to connect with the flange of the pipe end, which is generally applicable. It is used in places where the space is relatively narrow or the pipeline is restricted. The advantage is that it is more convenient to disassemble, the valve cost is lower, and the space is small, but the disadvantage is that one sealing surface has a problem, and both sealing surfaces have to be disassembled!
Electric flange butterfly valve has flanges at both ends of the valve body, which are connected with pipeline flanges. Compared with wafer butterfly valves, the sealing performance is more reliable. It is generally used in places with larger diameters or higher pressures, but the cost is relatively good.

D943H-16C-metal seated stainless steel electric triple offset butterfly valve

Choice between the two:
However, there are still some things to pay attention to in the design. For example, wafer type valve bolts are generally relatively long. Under high temperature conditions, the expansion of the bolts may cause leakage, so it is not suitable for large pipe diameters under high temperature conditions. . Another example is the wafer butterfly valve generally cannot be used in the end of the pipeline and downstream needs to be disassembled, because when the downstream flange is removed, the wafer valve will fall off, in this case, it must be shortened separately. The flange type butterfly valve does not have the above problems, but the cost will be higher.

Butterfly valve structure principle and application analysis

July 21, 2021

Butterfly valve (also called flap valve) is a kind of regulating valve whose closing part is circular disc or disc, mainly composed of valve body, valve stem, disc and sealing ring. The valve body is cylindrical with short axial length and built-in butterfly plate. The butterfly plate of the 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 axis, and the rotation angle is between 0° and 90°. When the rotation reaches 90°, the valve is fully opened.

Double offset-flanged butterfly valve-D42F-150lbC (1)

The 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 when the medium flows through the valve body, so the pressure drop generated by the valve is small, so it has better flow control characteristics. The butterfly valve has two sealing types: elastic seal and metal seal. Elastic sealing valve, the sealing ring can be inlaid on the valve body or attached to the periphery of the butterfly plate.
Butterfly valves with metal seals generally have a longer life than those with elastic seals, but it is difficult to achieve a complete seal. The metal sealing butterfly valve can adapt to higher working temperature, while the elastic sealing butterfly valve has the defect of being limited by temperature.
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 butterfly valve is especially suitable for making large-diameter valves. Butterfly valves are not only widely used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, and water treatment, but also used in cooling water systems of thermal power stations.

7 types of flange sealing surface: FF, RF, M, FM, T, G, RTJ

April 20, 2021

Flanged butterfly valve has a flange on the valve, and bolts are used to connect the flanges at both ends of the valve to the pipe flange. Do you know all the 7 types of flange sealing surfaces? FF, RF, MF, M, T, G, RTJ
The flange sealing surface basically has:

Full plane: FF
Raised face: RF
Concave/female: FM
Convex/Male: M
Tenon: T
Groove surface: G
Ring connection surface RTJ (RJ) types, according to the different working conditions, medium, pressure, specifications, temperature, etc., so the selected types are not the same. Let’s get to know the types of these flange sealing surfaces together!
FF-full plane:
Flat Face Full Face type sealing surface is completely flat, suitable for occasions where the pressure is not high and the medium is non-toxic.

flange FF

RF-raised face:
The Raised Face type of sealing surface is the most widely used among several types, and the most commonly used one. The international standards, European system and domestic standards are all fixed heights, but in the American standard flange, it should be noted that the height of high pressure will increase the sealing surface. There are also many types of gaskets used. Gaskets suitable for raised face sealing surface flanges include various non-metallic flat gaskets, coated gaskets; metal-wrapped gaskets; spiral wound gaskets (including outer ring or inner and outer ring).

flange RF

Convex/Male: M
Concave /female: FM
The two types of sealing surfaces, Male Face and Female Face, are a pair, one female and one male. They must be used together. They are easy to align and prevent the gasket from being extruded. Suitable for occasions with higher pressure.
The suitable sealing gaskets for the concave-convex sealing surface include: various non-metallic flat gaskets and coated gaskets; metal-clad gaskets; basic type or winding stopper with inner ring, etc.
T-tenon
G-groove surface
Tongue Face and Groove Face are similar to the concave-convex surface. They are also a male and female matched sealing surface type, and they are also used in pairs. The gasket is located in the annular groove and is restricted by the metal walls on both sides. It can prevent the gasket from being compressed and deformed and squeezed into the pipeline. Since the gasket is not in direct contact with the fluid medium in the pipe, it is less eroded or corroded by the fluid medium, so it can be used for high pressure, flammable, explosive, and toxic mediums that require strict sealing. This kind of sealing surface gasket has good installation and neutrality, but it is difficult to process the sealing surface. It is easy to damage the sealing surface when replacing the gasket, and the flange must be separated in the axial direction during installation and disassembly. Therefore, consideration should be given to the pipeline design. It is possible to separate the flange in the axial direction.
Suitable gaskets for the sealing surface of the tongue and groove surface include: various metal and non-metal flat gaskets, metal-clad gaskets and basic spiral wound gaskets.

flange TG-

RTJ(RJ)-Ring connection surface
The flange of the Ring Joint Face seal is also a narrow-face flange, and an annular trapezoidal groove is opened on the flange surface as the flange sealing surface, which is the same as the tongue-and-groove flange. The flange must be separated in the axial direction during installation and disassembly. Therefore, the possibility of separating the flange in the axial direction should be considered in the pipeline design.
The sealing surface is specially designed to cooperate with solid metal gaskets processed into octagonal or elliptical shapes from metal materials to achieve a sealed connection. Since the metal ring gasket can be based on the inherent characteristics of various metals, the sealing performance of this sealing surface is good, and the installation requirements are not too strict. It is suitable for high temperature and high pressure working conditions, but the processing accuracy of the sealing surface is relatively high.

Raised face flange and concave and convex face flange

September 14, 2020

Flange is used for the connection between two devices. The abbreviation refers to the form of the sealing surface. There are holes on it. The two flanges are connected by bolts. It is generally used for The mutual connection between

flanges

the shaft and the shaft is also used for the connection between the pipe ends; it is a detachable connection of a set of combined sealing structures that are connected by flanges, gaskets and bolts. The thickness of flanges with different pressures is different, and their use forms are also different.

Commonly used butterfly valves include wafer butterfly valves and flange butterfly valves. Wafer type butterfly valve uses double-head bolts to connect the valve between two pipe flanges. Flange type butterfly valve has flanges on the valve, and the two ends of the valve are flanged to the pipe flanges with bolts.
For the most common raised face flanges and concave and convex face flanges, in the flange connection, the raised face flange needs to be matched with the concave face flange, commonly known as one male and one female, and the raised face flange should be matched with the raised face flange. Generally speaking, raised face flanges should also be a kind of flat flanges, code-named RF, and the RF face can only be linked with the RF face. The code name of the raised face flange is M, and the M face flange needs to be connected with the FM face. One is female FM (Female Male), and the other is male M (Male). The pressure on the M/FM side is better than that on the RF side. Raised face flanges and raised face flanges are used in pairs, and the code name is RF. The comparison chart of the two is as follows:

RF, MFM flanges

The angle between the sealing surface of the raised face flange and the flange bolt connection surface is 45°, and the sealing surface of the concave and convex flange and the flange bolt connection surface are 90° angle, that is, the two sides are perpendicular .

Raised face flanges are more commonly used in the market, and generally there is no problem below 2.5MPa. Concave-convex flanges are more expensive and have better sealing effect, so the applicable pressure level is higher. When designing, it is more troublesome. For example, when you mention the equipment condition diagram, you must indicate what type of method it is. Lan, and then when the statistics take over the material, it is another matching flange.
