Installation attentions for valves

August 18, 2020

Precautions for valve installation:

Globe valves, throttle valves, pressure reducing valves, check valves and other valves are all directional. If the throttle valve is installed upside down, it will affect the use effect and life. If the pressure reducing valve does not work at all, if it is stopped The return valve can even cause danger.

Generally, the valve has a direction mark on the valve body; if not, it should be correctly identified according to the working principle of the valve.

The valve cavity of the shut-off valve is asymmetrical left and right, and the fluid must pass through the valve port from bottom to top, so that the fluid resistance is small (determined by the shape), and the opening is labor-saving (due to the upward pressure of the medium), and the medium does not press the packing after closing, which is convenient for maintenance . This is the reason why the globe valve cannot be reversed. Other valves also have their own characteristics.

The valve installation location must be convenient for operation; even if the installation is temporarily difficult, it is necessary to consider the long-term work of the operator.

It is best to keep the valve hand wheel flush with the chest (usually 1.2 meters away from the operating floor), so that opening and closing the valve is easier. The hand wheel of the floor valve should be upward, do not tilt, to avoid

Globe valve (9)

awkward operation. The valve of the wall machine and the equipment should also leave room for the operator to stand. It is necessary to avoid operating from the sky, especially acid and alkali, toxic media, etc., otherwise it is very unsafe.

Do not install the gate valve upside down (that is, the handwheel is down), otherwise the medium will remain in the valve cover space for a long time, which will easily corrode the valve stem, and it is taboo for certain process requirements. At the same time, it is extremely inconvenient to replace the packing.

1. The pressure reducing valve should be installed upright on the horizontal pipeline, and not inclined in all directions.

2. As for the lift check valve, make sure its valve flap is vertical when installing it so that it can be lifted flexibly.

3. Swing check valve, ensure that its pin shaft is level when installing, so that it can swing flexibly.

4. Do not install the rising stem gate valve underground, otherwise the exposed stem will be corroded due to moisture.

The difference between globe valve and check valve

August 13, 2020

With the development of high-tech industry, various valves are often used in daily life. Today we will understand the difference between globe valves and check valves.

The difference between globe valve and check valve:
1. Check valve and stop valve are not the same thing, the difference between the two is mainly that the structure is

Globe valve (6)

very different.

2. The check valve is a one-way valve, which automatically prevents the fluid from flowing in the reverse direction, without a knob, and cannot artificially block the forward flow.

3. The stop valve has a knob, which can artificially control the forward flow. Due to its special structure, even if there is no artificial pipe valve, the fluid cannot flow in the reverse direction.

Globe valve:

The globe valve, also known as the shut-off valve, is a forced sealing valve, so when the valve is closed, pressure must be applied to the disc to force the sealing surface to not leak. When the medium enters the valve from below the valve

lift-swing-check-valve-2

disc, the resistance that the operating force needs to overcome is the friction force of the valve stem and the packing and the thrust generated by the pressure of the medium. The force of closing the valve is greater than the force of opening the valve, so the valve stem The diameter of the valve must be large, otherwise the valve stem will bend failure.
working principle of globe valve:
The globe valve, also called the cut-off valve, is one of the most widely used valves. The reason why it is so popular is that the friction between the sealing surfaces is small during the opening and closing process, which is relatively durable, has a low opening height, and is easy to manufacture. , Easy maintenance, not only suitable for medium and low pressure, but also suitable for high pressure. The closing principle of the globe valve is to rely on the pressure of the valve stem to make the sealing surface of the disc and the sealing surface of the valve seat tightly fit to prevent the medium from flowing. Our country’s valve “Sanhua” once stipulated that the flow direction of the stop valve should be from top to bottom, so there is directionality when installing. The structural length of the stop valve is longer than that of the gate valve, and the fluid resistance is large, and the sealing reliability is not strong during long-term operation.

Check valve:

Check valve refers to the valve that automatically opens and closes the disc depending on the flow of the medium itself to prevent the medium from flowing back, also known as check valve, one-way valve, reverse flow valve, and back pressure valve. Check valve is a kind of automatic valve, its main function is to prevent the back flow of the medium, prevent the pump and drive motor from reversing, and the discharge of the container medium.

Electric globe valves’ structural features and installation attention

August 12, 2020

Structural features of electric globe valve:

1. Open and close without friction. This function completely solves the problem of traditional valves affecting the

Globe valve (6)

sealing due to mutual friction between the sealing surfaces.

2. Top-mounted structure. The valves installed on the pipeline can be directly inspected and repaired online, which can effectively reduce device shutdown and reduce costs.

3. Single valve seat design. Eliminates the problem that the medium in the valve cavity affects the safety of use due to abnormal pressure increase.

4. Low torque design. The valve stem with special structure design can be opened and closed easily with only a small handle.

5. Wedge-shaped sealing structure. The valve relies on the mechanical force provided by the valve stem to press the ball wedge onto the valve seat to seal, so that the sealing performance of the valve is not affected by changes in pipeline pressure, and the sealing performance is reliably guaranteed under various working conditions.

6. Self-cleaning structure of the sealing surface. When the ball is tilted away from the valve seat, the fluid in the pipeline passes through the sealing surface of the ball evenly at 360°, which not only eliminates the local erosion of the valve seat by the high-speed fluid, but also washes away the accumulation on the sealing surface to achieve the purpose of self-cleaning .

7. The valve body and bonnet with valve diameter below DN50 are die forgings, and the valve body and bonnet above DN65 are steel castings.

8. The connection forms of the valve body and the bonnet are different, clamp pin shaft connection, flange gasket connection and self-sealing thread connection.

9. The sealing surfaces of the valve seat and the valve disc are all made of plasma spray welding or surfacing welding of cobalt-chromium-tungsten cemented carbide. The sealing surface has high hardness, wear resistance, scratch resistance and long service life.

10. The valve stem material is nitrided steel. After nitriding, the surface of the stem has high hardness, wear resistance, scratch resistance, corrosion resistance and long service life.

Electric shut-off valve installation attention:

1. Pay attention to the flow direction of the medium when installing the valve, and install it strictly in the direction indicated by the valve flow direction arrow.

2. The valve can be installed at any position of the pipeline, and at the same time, choose a carbon steel or alloy steel valve according to the temperature of the medium and the medium.

3. The electric globe valve should be installed vertically as far as possible, with the valve stem upward.

Characteristics and working principle of electric globe valve

August 12, 2020

Features of electric globe valve:

The fluid resistance is small, and its resistance coefficient is equal to that of a pipe section of the same length.
Globe valve (9)
Simple structure, small size and light weight. Electric globe valve
It is tight and reliable. The sealing surface material of the gate valve is widely used plastic, and it has good sealing performance. It has also been widely used in vacuum systems.
It is easy to operate and open and close quickly. It only needs to rotate 90° from fully open to fully closed, which is convenient for remote control.
The maintenance is convenient, the gate valve has a simple structure, the sealing ring is generally movable, and it is convenient to disassemble and replace.
When fully open or fully closed, the sealing surface of the ball and the valve seat is isolated from the medium, and the medium will not cause erosion of the valve sealing surface when the medium passes.
It has a wide range of applications, with a diameter ranging from a few millimeters to a few meters, and can be applied from high vacuum to high pressure.

Electric globe valve classification:

According to its channel position, it can be divided into straight-through type and right-angle type.

Working principle of electric globe valve:

The working principle of the electric shut-off valve is to make the valve unblocked or blocked by rotating the valve. The gate valve switch is light, small in size, can be made into a large diameter, reliable in sealing, simple in structure, convenient in maintenance, the sealing surface and the spherical surface are often closed, and it is not easy to be eroded by the medium. It is widely used in various industries.

A. Opening process of globe check valve:

In the closed position, the valve body is pressed against the valve seat by the mechanical pressure of the valve stem.
When the hand wheel is turned counterclockwise, the valve stem moves in the opposite direction, and the angular plane at the bottom causes the ball to separate from the valve seat.
The valve stem continues to lift and interacts with the guide pin in the spiral groove of the valve stem, so that the ball begins to rotate without friction.
Until it reaches the fully open position, the valve stem is raised to the limit position, and the ball rotates to the fully open position.

B. Closing process of electric globe valve:

When closing, turn the handwheel clockwise, the valve stem begins to drop and the ball leaves the valve seat to start rotating.
Continue to rotate the hand wheel, and the valve stem will be acted on by the guide pin embedded in the upper spiral groove to make the valve stem and the gate rotate 90° at the same time.
When it is about to close, the gate body has rotated 90° without contact with the valve seat.
In the last few turns of the handwheel, the angular plane at the bottom of the valve stem mechanically wedges and presses the sphere to make it tightly press on the valve seat to achieve a complete seal.

According to the classification of purposes, the globe valve can be divided into the following types:

12 Globe-valve-4

The fluorine-lined stop valve: it is suitable for various concentrations of aqua regia, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid and various organic acids, strong acids, strong oxidants, and various concentrations of strong alkali organic solvents and other Use on corrosive gas and liquid medium pipelines.

The national standard globe valve: it is the most commonly used product in the globe valve series. The API American standard globe valve and the American standard globe valve implement ANSI and API standards. The sealing surfaces of the disc and seat are made of Stellite cobalt-based hard with different hardness. It is made of alloy surfacing, with reliable sealing, high hardness, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, good scratch resistance and long life.

Needle valve: it is a small-caliber instrument valve, which plays a role of opening and closing and precise flow control in the instrument measurement pipeline system. It mainly includes power station instrument series, oil field special series, American standard series, etc.

Cryogenic globe valve: it usually refers to the valve whose working temperature is lower than -110℃, which is widely used in LNG, LPG and other low temperature industries. Since 2008, the globe valve with a suitable temperature of -196℃ can be manufactured, and all parts are pretreated with liquid nitrogen at low temperature to completely avoid seal deformation and leakage during use.

The plunger valve: it is also known as the plunger stop valve. Its sealing surface adopts a radial sealing structure. The load exerted on the valve cover by two elastic sealing rings sleeved on the polished plunger through the connecting bolts of the valve body and the valve cover The elastic sealing ring around the plug compresses the shut-off valve for sealing.

Tianjin Tanghai Valve Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is one of the largest valve manufacturers in China, main products are butterfly valves, check valves, gate valve and globe valves. Details: butterfly valve, lug type butterfly valve, wafer type butterfly valve, U-type butterfly valve, double flange butterfly valve, gate valves, check valves, globe valves, valve parts (Valve body, Valve disc, Valve shaft, Valve seat…)

Classification of the globe valves-(1)

August 12, 2020

According to the channel direction, the globe valve is devided into 4 types:

Globe valve (6)

1) Straight-through globe valve.
2) Direct flow stop valve: In direct flow or Y-shaped stop valve, the flow passage of the valve body is in a diagonal line with the main flow passage, so that the damage degree of the flow state is less than that of the conventional stop valve, so the pressure loss through the valve is also corresponding Is too small.
3) Angle type stop valve: In the angle type stop valve, the fluid only needs to change its direction once, so that the pressure drop through this valve is smaller than that of the conventional structure.
4) Plunger type globe valve: This type of globe valve is a variation of the conventional globe valve. In this valve, the disc and valve seat are usually designed based on the plunger principle. The valve clack is polished so that the plunger is connected to the valve stem, and the sealing is achieved by two elastic sealing rings sleeved on the plunger. The two elastic sealing rings are separated by a collar, and the sealing ring around the plunger is pressed firmly by the load exerted on the bonnet by the bonnet nut. The elastic sealing ring can be replaced and can be made of various materials. The valve is mainly used for “open” or “close”, but it is equipped with a special form of plunger or a special collar, which can also be used to adjust the flow .

The position of the thread on the valve stem:

1) Upper threaded stem stop valve: The thread of the stem of the stop valve is on the outside of the valve body. The advantage is that the valve stem is not corroded by the medium and is convenient for lubrication. This structure is more common.

2) Bottom thread stem stop valve: The thread of the stem of the stop valve is in the valve body. The stem thread of this structure is in direct contact with the medium, which is susceptible to corrosion and cannot be lubricated. This structure is used in places with small diameters and low temperatures.

There are many domestic manufacturers of globe valves, and most of the connection sizes are not uniform. It is mainly divided into the following categories: General category based on JB/T2203-1999 “Structural Length of Stop Valves”. At present, most domestic shut-off valve manufacturers design and produce according to this standard. However, this standard is not perfect, and the specifications are not complete. The maximum nominal diameter of a single gate valve is DN1200, and the maximum nominal diameter of a double gate valve is DN1500. According to the specifications of the shut-off valve produced by the manufacturer and the information available, the smallest nominal diameter of the angle-type shut-off valve is DN15, and the nominal diameter of the Z-type straight-through shut-off valve reaches DN2000. After research, the connection size of each manufacturer is not uniform. In order to have a unified standard, users can interchange the same specifications when selecting and installing, it is recommended that China General Machinery Research Institute revise JB/T2203-1999 “Structural Length of Stop Valves”. It is recommended that the design institute and users choose according to the standard, and the stop valve manufacturer should design and manufacture according to the standard.

The working principle and characteristics of the globe valve

August 12, 2020

The globe valve is a tool that relies on the pressure of the valve stem to make the sealing surface of the disc and the sealing surface of the valve seat tightly fit to prevent the flow of the medium. It is a forced sealing valve and is one of the most widely used valves.

According to the direction of the passage, the globe valve is divided into four types: straight-through globe valve, direct-flow globe valve, angle globe valve and plunger globe valve.
1. Working principle of globe valve:

Globe valve (9)

The stop valve, also called the cut-off valve, is one of the most widely used valves. The reason why it is popular is that the friction between the sealing surfaces is small during the opening and closing process, which is relatively durable, has a small opening height, and is easy to manufacture. , Easy maintenance, not only suitable for medium and low pressure, but also suitable for high pressure. The closing principle of the shut-off valve is to rely on the pressure of the valve stem to make the sealing surface of the disc and the sealing surface of the valve seat closely fit, preventing the flow of the medium. Our country’s valve “Sanhua” once stipulated that the flow direction of the stop valve should be from top to bottom, so there is directionality when installing. The structural length of the shut-off valve is longer than that of the gate valve, and the fluid resistance is large, and the sealing reliability is not strong during long-term operation.

As one of the most important cut-off valves, the globe valve plays an important role in the aerospace field. As an important component of aerospace equipment, the shut-off valve realizes the functions of medium transportation, cut-off, and adjustment, and its sealing performance directly affects the safe and reliable operation of aerospace equipment. Studying the influencing factors and influencing rules of the sealing characteristics of typical globe valves has guiding significance for the structural design of the valve sealing pair, thereby improving the sealing performance and reliability of the valve.

2. Globe valve characteristics:

The valve plays an important role in cutting off and throttling the medium in the pipeline. As an extremely important cut-off valve, the valve is sealed by applying a torque to the valve stem, and the valve stem is in the axial direction. The valve clack applies pressure to make the sealing surface of the valve clack closely fit the sealing surface of the valve seat, and prevent the medium from leaking along the gap between the sealing surfaces.

The sealing pair of the globe valve is composed of a valve flap sealing surface and a valve seat sealing surface, and the valve stem drives the valve flap to move vertically along the center line of the valve seat. During the opening and closing process of the globe valve, the opening height is small, the flow is easy to adjust, and the manufacturing and maintenance are convenient, and the pressure application range is wide.

Compared with another commonly used shut-off valve in industrial production, an alarm valve, the shut-off valve is simpler than the former in terms of structure, and is easy to manufacture and maintain. In terms of service life, the sealing surface of the globe valve is not easy to wear and scratch. During the opening and closing process of the valve, there is no relative sliding between the valve disc and the sealing surface of the seat, so the wear and abrasion of the sealing surface are small, so the sealing is improved. During the full closing process of the auxiliary service life stop valve, the disc stroke is small, and its height is relatively small compared to the alarm valve. The shortcoming of the globe valve is that the opening and closing torque is large and it is difficult to achieve rapid opening and closing. Because the flow passage in the valve body is relatively tortuous, the fluid flow resistance is large, and the fluid power is lost in the pipeline.
