What are the connection methods of gate valves for hydropower stations

Gate valves used in hydropower stations are often in a relatively special working environment, which also puts forward high requirements on the quality of the gate valves. Among them, the connection method it uses is also an important process composition. What we are going to share today is about the connection method of gate valves for hydropower stations.

DIN-F5-BB-NRS-soft seated-wedge gate valve (10)

DIN-F5-BB-NRS-soft seated-wedge gate valve (10)

The most common connection method used in gate valves of hydropower stations is mainly flange connection. This connection method is usually two flange pieces plus a number of fastening bolts and nuts, and the pipes are connected by pressing the middle flange gasket. Why do you think that flange connection is the most suitable method for gate valves in hydropower stations? This is mainly because the flange connection can withstand high-strength tensile, compression, torsion and shear resistance. The flange connection is a detachable joint, which has the advantages of convenient disassembly, high connection strength, and good tightness.
According to the shape of the joint surface, the flange connection can be divided into: smooth type, used for gate valves with low pressure; concave-convex type; tongue and groove type: widely used in corrosive media, with better sealing effect; trapezoidal groove type: Use an oval metal ring as a washer, which is used for gate valves with a working pressure of ≥64 kg/cm², or high-temperature gate valves; lens type: the washer is in the shape of a lens and is made of metal. Used for high-pressure gate valves or high-temperature gate valves with working pressure ≥100 kg/cm²; O-ring type: This is a newer form of flange connection, which is developed with the appearance of various rubber O-rings As a result, it is more reliable than ordinary flat gaskets in terms of sealing effect. In addition to flange connection, there is also threaded connection or ferrule connection, which is a simple connection method that can reliably prevent leakage and so on.
After a brief introduction, do you have your own ideas for the selection of gate valves for hydropower stations? If you need a gate valve for a hydropower station, please first consider Tanghai Valve. The gate valve produced by Tanghai Valve is mainly used in normal temperature and pressure environment, professional and high-quality, and professional technicians will give reasonable suggestions according to your working conditions, so that you can easily choose the right one.

The difference between knife gate valve and ordinary gate valve

There are many types of gate valves. Knife gate valve is one of them, also called knife gate valve. According to different structure types, gate valves can be divided into flat gate valves and knife gate valves. According to the different connection methods, knife gate valves can be divided into flange type; lug type and wafer type.

DIN-F5-BB-NRS-soft seated-wedge gate valve (10)

DIN-F5-BB-NRS-soft seated-wedge gate valve (10)

Compared with ordinary gate valves, the structure of the knife gate valve is simple, the opening and closing part is a gate, and the movement direction of the gate is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid. It is small in size, flexible in operation, and easy to install. It is more suitable for media with higher consistency and solid particles. As we can see from the name, the knife gate valve mainly relies on the knife-edge gate to cut off the medium. The gate has two sealing surfaces, forming a wedge shape. The gate can be made into an integral rigid gate; it can also be made into an elastic gate that can produce slight deformation and improve the sealing performance from the process. To sum up, compared with ordinary gate valves, knife gate valves mainly highlight the following product advantages:

1. The U-shaped gasket has a good sealing effect.
2. The full-diameter design makes the medium passability strong. At the same time, it can be easily installed, easily disassembled, and maintained under the working conditions of dirty media. The valve seal can be replaced without removing the valve, making the valve maintenance easier.
3. The gate with the function of the guillotine knife has good sluicing effect, can effectively squeeze off all kinds of debris in the medium, and solve the leakage phenomenon of the medium containing lumps, particles and fibers after the sluice is broken.
4. The knife gate valve has an ultra-short structure length, small size, small flow resistance, light weight, material saving, and small effective space.
Although the price of knife gate valve is about 20% higher than that of ordinary gate valve, its better performance has been generally recognized by the market, and it has quietly boarded the list of the most popular product series of Tanghai Valve. Through more than 20 years of research and production of valve technology, Tanghai Valve has senior production experience and advanced technical level, has a formal and modern production base, and has stably provided a large number of products for the knife gate valve market with a good reputation. If you need a knife gate valve, choose Tanghai Valve.

Introduction to the applicable occasions of butterfly valve

Butterfly valve is one of the most commonly used valves in piping systems. It has a wide range of applications. It can not only be used to cut off the flowing medium in the pipeline, but also can be used for flow adjustment. When the

Fluorine lined butterfly valve-PTFE-WAFER (10)

fluid in the pipeline passes through the butterfly valve, the pressure loss is about 3 times that of the gate valve, and the pressure loss is relatively large. Therefore, two factors should be considered when choosing a butterfly valve. One is the pressure loss experienced by the piping system, and the other is the pressure of the pipeline medium and the working temperature that the elastic valve seat material can withstand when the butterfly valve is closed.
The structural length of the butterfly valve is short, the overall height is also small, the operating torque is short, it can be opened and closed quickly, and fluid control can be performed well. The structural principle of the butterfly valve makes it most suitable for making large-diameter valves. When the butterfly valve is required to be used for flow control, in order to make it work more effectively, it is necessary to select the correct size and type of the butterfly valve.

What occasions are butterfly valves suitable for?

1. It is required to be used for throttling and regulating control in the pipeline, and the valve structure is required to be short in length and fast in opening and closing. It is recommended to use a butterfly valve.
2. On pipelines that require two-position adjustment and necking, low noise is required, cavitation is generated, a small amount of leakage into the atmosphere, and the circulating medium is corrosive, a butterfly valve can be selected.
3. Under special working conditions where there are strict requirements for sealing, low temperature containing impurities, and easy to cause wear, it is recommended to use butterfly valves, and to use metal-sealed triple-eccentric or double-eccentric butterfly valves.
4. In petroleum, petrochemical, chemical, metallurgical, electric power and other fields, it is recommended to use metal hard-seal triple-eccentric butterfly valves. In many cases, they can replace gate valves and globe valves.
5. The center line butterfly valve is suitable for the environment with strict requirements on sealing performance and zero leakage. The center line butterfly valve is most suitable for fresh water, sewage, sea water, salt water, steam, natural gas, oil and oil at a working temperature of -10-150℃. Used in pipelines of various acid and alkali media.

Maintenance Methods of Common Valves

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.

Design Features of Electric Gate Valve

An electric gate valve is a gate valve that uses an electric actuator to control the opening and closing of the valve. Its structure can be divided into upper and lower parts, the upper part is the electric actuator, and the lower part is the gate valve body. Connect the electric actuator and the gate valve, after installation and debugging, it becomes an electric gate valve. The electric gate valve uses electric energy to realize the opening and closing of the valve, so as to control the interception and circulation of the pipeline medium.

DN1000-DIN-F5-NRS gate valve-IS&Y (6)

The switching speed of the electric gate valve can be adjusted, the structure is relatively simple, and the maintenance is easier. Its design structure also has its own characteristics.
1. The electric gate valve adopts pressure self-tightening seal, which has excellent sealing performance and is reliable and safe to use.
2. The electric gate valve adopts a double gate with a universal roof structure in the middle, which can automatically adjust the degree of sealing between the gate and the valve seat to ensure the sealing performance of the valve. At the same time, this structure is very convenient to maintain and save costs.
3. The sealing surface of the gate and the valve seat is made of cobalt-chromium-tungsten cemented carbide by plasma spray welding. The sealing surface has high hardness, and is very wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, which prolongs the service life of the valve.
4. The valve stem is made of nitrided steel, and the surface is nitrided, which has high hardness, good performance and long life.
5. The electric device of the electric gate valve is equipped with a torque control mechanism, an on-site operating mechanism and a hand and electric switching mechanism. It can also carry out remote operation and intelligent control. It is suitable for use in situations where manual operation is difficult or the pipeline environment is complex and dangerous.
6. When the electric gate valve is used for the first time, during installation and debugging, it is necessary to manually open the valve to about half of the position, so as to avoid the valve or electrical equipment damage due to the reverse connection of the motor phase sequence.

Characteristics of soft seal /resilient seated gate valves

Title: what are the characteristics of soft seal /resilient seated gate valves?

Traditional gate valves often have water leakage and corrosion. In order to overcome this shortcoming, the soft-seal gate valve appeared. As an updated product of the traditional gate valve, the soft-seal gate valve overcomes the shortcomings of poor sealing performance, poor elasticity, and easy corrosion of general gate valves.
The soft-seal gate valve uses a flexible rubber-wrapped gate, which uses the elastic energy of rubber to produce a small amount of deformation compensation, so that the valve can achieve a good sealing effect. The characteristics of the soft seal gate valve are as follows:

DIN-F5-BB-NRS-soft seated-wedge gate valve (10)

DIN-F5-BB-NRS-soft seated-wedge gate valve (10)

1. The gate is made of integral rubber
Use high-quality rubber to tightly wrap the gate of the soft-seal gate valve as a whole, which improves the sealing performance and is not easy to fall off.
2. The valve body is not easy to rust and corrosion resistant
The use of powder epoxy resin to coat the valve body of the soft-seal gate valve can effectively prevent the valve body from being oxidized, not easy to rust, and also prevent the valve body from being corroded. Soft-seal gate valves are often used in sewage treatment systems.
3. The valve seat is designed with a flat bottom
Traditional gate valves usually have a groove at the bottom of the valve seat. When the medium in the pipeline flows through the valve, impurities and particles contained in the medium will settle and silt in the bottom groove, which will make the valve unable to close tightly and cause leakage. Cause an accident. The bottom of the valve seat of the soft sealing gate valve is designed with a flat bottom and has no groove. After the medium in the pipeline flows through, there will be no siltation of impurities and particles, and the sealing performance of the valve is guaranteed to avoid leakage.
4. Precision casting valve body
The valve body of the soft sealing gate valve adopts precision casting, the size is accurate, and the inside of the valve body does not need to do any fine processing, and the sealing performance of the valve body is guaranteed.
5. Ductile iron valve body, light weight
The soft seal gate valve uses ductile iron as the valve body material. The overall weight of the valve is 20%-30% lighter than the traditional gate valve. The lighter weight makes the soft seal gate valve easier to install and maintain.
6. The inside of the valve body is not easy to be corroded
The valve body of the soft sealing gate valve is coated with non-toxic epoxy resin, and the gate is completely wrapped by rubber, which can effectively prevent the inside of the valve body from being corroded by the medium in the pipeline.
7. Three “O” seal ring seal design
The valve stem of the triple “O” seal ring seal design greatly reduces the friction resistance of the soft seal gate valve when it is closed, and the sealing performance is reliable, and no water leakage occurs; the unique design structure also makes the “O” seal ring It can be replaced under pressure and is maintenance-free.

Commonly used valves for Water Supply and Drainage System

Valves often used in water supply and drainage piping systems include butterfly valvegate valvecheck 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.

dual plate wafer type check valve (1)

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.

Advantages and disadvantages of gate valve and its scope of application

This article will explain the advantages and disadvantages of gate valves and the scope of application. A gate valve is a valve in which the opening and closing part moves along the vertical direction of the pipeline channel axis. The

DIN-F5-BB-NRS-soft seated-wedge gate valve (10)

DIN-F5-BB-NRS-soft seated-wedge gate valve (10)

opening and closing part is called a gate, which is mainly used to cut off the flowing medium in the pipeline and can only be used fully open or fully closed. Therefore, the gate valve cannot be used as a regulating valve to regulate flow. Gate valves of different materials are adapted to different environments and temperatures, but gate valves are generally not used in pipelines that transport mud and other media, because these media contain impurities, which will affect the sealing effect of the gate.

Advantages of gate valve:
1. It can only be fully open and fully closed. When the gate is fully open, the resistance of the fluid through the valve is small;
2. The torque required for opening and closing is small and labor-saving;
3. It can be used in pipelines where the medium flows in both directions, and the flow direction of the medium is not restricted;
4. Compared with the shut-off valve, when the gate valve is fully opened, the degree of erosion and erosion of the sealing surface by the fluid medium is low;
5. Simple structure, convenient installation and use, and good manufacturing technology;
6. The overall structure length of the valve is relatively short.

Disadvantages of gate valve:
1. The overall dimensions and opening height are relatively large, which requires a large installation space;
2. When the gate is opened and closed, the friction with the sealing surface of the valve seat is large, causing certain wear on the sealing surface;
3. Usually the gate valve has two sealing surfaces, which is difficult to process and grind, and it is quite troublesome to maintain;
4. It takes a long time to open and close.

Gate valves usually have more applications in the following areas:
1. Oil and natural gas pipelines.
2. Transportation pipeline and storage equipment of refined oil.
3. Wellhead equipment for oil and natural gas exploitation.
4. City gas transmission pipeline.
5. Tap water and sewage treatment projects.

What are the commonly used valves

The valve is a pipeline accessory, used to open and close the pipeline and control the flow of fluid medium in the pipeline. The functions of the valve in the pipeline include cut-off, regulation, diversion, prevention of reverse flow, stabilization, diversion or overflow and pressure relief. There are many types of valves. As the control components of fluid control systems, from the simplest butterfly valves and gate valves to the various valves used in extremely complex automatic control systems, there are many varieties and specifications.

Valves can be used to control the flow of various types of fluids, such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, oil, liquid metal, and radioactive media. The application range covers various industries. Although there are many types of valves, what are the commonly used valves? This article introduces you one by one:

There are five types of commonly used valves: butterfly valves, gate valves, check valves, ball valves, and stop valves.

Butterfly valve:
The butterfly valve, also known as the flap valve, is a simple and easy-to-use regulating valve. The butterfly plate in the body of the butterfly valve is the closing part of the valve, which is in the shape of a disc. The working principle is that the butterfly plate rotates around the valve shaft to realize the valve. Open and close, usually, the butterfly plate is driven by the valve stem and rotates 90° to complete one opening and closing, and achieve the purpose of interception. If you change the deflection angle of the butterfly plate, it can also be used as a flow control. Under normal circumstances, butterfly valves are often used for on-off control of low-pressure pipeline media.
Wafer butterfly valve and flange butterfly valve are the two connection forms of butterfly valve. The butterfly valve is suitable for making large-diameter valves, suitable for natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, city gas, cold and hot air, chemical smelting and power generation, environmental protection, building water supply and drainage, etc. It is used to regulate and cut off the flow of media on the pipelines that transport various corrosive and non-corrosive fluid media in the system.

gate valve:

Gate valves are usually used for interception in pipeline systems. Its opening and closing parts are gates. The movement direction of the gate is perpendicular to the direction of the medium flow in the pipeline. The gate rises and the valve opens to realize the flow of the pipeline medium; the gate falls, The valve is closed, and the flow of the pipeline medium is cut off. The gate valve can only be fully opened or fully closed to cut off the flow of the medium, and cannot be used for adjustment and throttling. Therefore, the gate valve is generally used to keep the gate valve gate plate fully open and fully closed, and is used in a pipeline environment that does not need to be opened and closed frequently.
According to the structure of the gate, the gate valve can be divided into two types: wedge gate valve and parallel gate valve. Wedge gate valves can be divided into three types: single gate valve, double gate valve and elastic gate valve.

Check valve:
The check valve is also a list valve or check valve, which is an automatic valve, which

double-wing-check-valve-3

double-wing-check-valve-3

means that the check valve works automatically and does not require manual operation. When the medium flows through the check valve, under the pressure impact of the fluid medium, the check valve The valve flap of the return valve opens automatically and the medium passes through; after the medium flow is cut off, the valve flap automatically closes under the force of its own spring device to prevent the medium from flowing back and backflow.
Check valves are only suitable for installation in pipelines where the medium flows in one direction. The main function is to prevent the medium from flowing backwards, to prevent the pump and drive motor from reversing, and to discharge the container medium.

Globe valve:
The globe valve, also known as the shut-off valve, is a forced-sealing valve. That is to say, unlike the automatic operation of a check valve, the shut-off valve must apply pressure to the disc when it is closed to force the sealing

When the medium enters the valve from below the disc, the flow direction changes, so the resistance that needs to be overcome to close the shut-off valve is the friction between the valve stem and the packing, as well as the thrust generated by the pressure of the medium, and the force to close the valve. The force is larger than that of opening the valve, so the diameter of the valve stem should be larger, otherwise the valve stem will bend failure. The flow resistance of the stop valve is higher than other valves.
The shut-off valve can be used to cut off the medium like a gate valve, but more often, people use the shut-off valve to adjust the flow.

Ball valve:
The ball valve evolved from the rotary valve. It is the same as the butterfly valve in that it also needs to be rotated 90 degrees to open and close. The difference is that the butterfly

valve is a butterfly plate, and the cock of the ball valve is a sphere, with a circular through hole or channel passing through its axis.
The ball valve can cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline, and only need to rotate 90 degrees and a small torque can be closed tightly. Therefore, the ball valve is most suitable for use as a switch and shut-off valve. At present, it has been widely used in petroleum refining, long-distance pipeline, chemical industry, papermaking and other industries.
