Classification and selection of fluorine-lined valves

September 16, 2020

Fluorine-lined valves, anti-corrosion valves, corrosion-resistant special valves

Introduction to fluorine-lined valves and corrosion-resistant valves:
Fluorine-lined valve, also known as fluorine-lined plastic corrosion-resistant valve, is a method of molding (or inlaying) polytetrafluoroethylene resin and placing it on the inner wall of the valve pressure part or the outer surface of the valve inner part. (The same method applies to all The lining of similar pressure vessels and pipeline accessories), using its unique performance in resisting strong corrosive media, is made into a special corrosion-resistant valve. Simply put, fluorine-lined valve is to use the lining process for all the places in the valve body that the medium can reach.

The lining material of fluorine-lined valves generally adopts FEP (F46) and PCTFE (F3) and other fluoroplastics,

double eccentric butterfly valve (6)

which can be applied to various concentrations of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, aqua regia and various organic acids, strong acids, strong oxidants and others Corrosive media and other pipelines, but fluorine-lined valves are relatively limited by temperature, and are only suitable for media between -50°C and 150°C.

Classification of fluorine-lined valves and corrosion-resistant valves:
Common fluorine-lined plastic valves are: fluorine-lined butterfly valves, fluorine-lined ball valves, fluorine-lined globe valves, fluorine-lined diaphragm valves, fluorine-lined gate valves, fluorine-lined plug valves, etc.
1. Fluorine lined ball valve
The ball valve with fluoroplastic lining layer has extremely high chemical stability and is suitable for any strong corrosive chemical medium. The structure is a full-pass floating ball valve structure. The element leakage closes in the entire pressure range, which is convenient for the pipeline system to pass Ball sweep line and pipeline maintenance.
2. Fluorine-lined butterfly valve
Used in occasions requiring reliable sealing and good adjustment characteristics. The valve body of the fluorine-lined butterfly valve adopts a split type, and the sealing of the current end of the valve shaft is controlled by adding fluorine rubber to the rotating base surface between the butterfly plate and the valve seat, so as to achieve compact structure, beautiful appearance, reasonable process and reliable performance. The fluorine-lined butterfly valve ensures that the valve shaft does not contact the fluid medium in the cavity. It is very convenient to replace the valve shaft. The fluorine-lined butterfly valve can be completed without removing the pipeline.
3. Fluorine lined gate valve
One of the most common open-close valves, which use wedge-shaped gates sealed on both sides to connect or cut off the medium in the pipeline. The wedge gate valve does not allow a small amount of opening to be used as a throttling device in the pipeline to avoid high-speed flow The medium erodes and accelerates the damage of the sealing surface.
4. Fluorine-lined plug valve
The structure is compact and reasonable, the internal cavity space of the valve is minimal, and the medium retention is reduced. In addition, the special molding process makes the sealing surface dense, and the combination of herringbone ring PTFE packing enables the valve to achieve zero leakage; this series is for various It is designed for automatic opening and closing control of the pipeline of strong corrosive medium.
5. Fluorine-lined globe valve
The valve can be unblocked or blocked by lifting the valve flap. The valve flap and the inner side of the valve body are all made of fluoroplastic lining. It has the advantages of light switch, small size, reliable sealing, simple structure, convenient maintenance and wide range of use.
6. Fluorine-lined check valve
The fluorine-lined check valve only allows the medium to flow in one direction and prevents the flow in the opposite direction. Usually this fluorine-lined check valve works automatically. Under the pressure of one direction, the valve flap opens and the liquid flows in the opposite direction. There are liquid pressure and the weight of the valve flap, and the closing valve flap acts on the valve weight to cut off the flow. Fluorine-lined check valve includes lift check valve, swing check valve, wafer check valve and so on. H41F46 fluorine-lined check valve is suitable for various concentrations of aqua regia, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid and various organic acids, strong acids, and strong oxidants at -50℃～150℃. FEP is also suitable for various concentrations of strong alkali Use on pipelines of organic solvents and other corrosive gases and liquid media.

The difference and selection of electric valve and pneumatic valve

September 15, 2020

With the progress and continuous reform of the times, my country’s valve products have also been innovated with the change of the times. At present, in the valve market where environmental protection and safety are increasingly

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

demanded, the use of automatic control devices such as electric valves and pneumatic valves is gradually becoming impossible Optional. The use of self-control valves is more energy-saving, safer and more reliable. Compared with the traditional manual valve, the movement speed is faster than the ordinary valve, which not only reduces the manpower, but also greatly improves the work efficiency.
Compared with the pneumatic valve, the electric valve has a simple structure and reliable operation, and its power source (power source or air source) is easy to solve for the remote operation point. The disadvantage is that the price is higher and the explosion-proof requirements are also higher. When selecting, comprehensive consideration should be given to factors such as the

electric ball valve

availability, price and control requirements of the power source. The selection of the valve generally first confirm the valve material, valve diameter, medium type, pipeline pressure, connection mode, control mode, medium temperature etc.

Electric valve selection: When electric valve is selected (the control mode of electric actuator is generally divided into on-off type and regulating type), in addition to the basic valve body diameter, pressure, material and other requirements, the following parameters should be provided:
1. Power supply parameters (including voltage, number of phases and frequency);

pneumatic ball valve

2. Running time and form of electric actuator;
3. Whether explosion-proof and explosion-proof grade are required;
4. Atmospheric protection level;
5. Overload protection requirements, such as over travel protection, over torque protection, etc.;
6. Local operation requirements, such as whether to bring a local operation handwheel;
7. Operation instruction requirements.
Pneumatic valve selection: When selecting pneumatic valves (the operating principle of pneumatic actuators can be divided into single-acting and double-acting), in addition to determining specific parameters such as valve body diameter, pressure, and material, the following parameters should also be provided:
1. Air source parameters (including air source pressure range, whether to bring your own gas storage tank, etc.)
2. Running time and form of pneumatic actuator
3. Whether explosion-proof and explosion-proof grade are required;
4. Atmospheric protection level;
5. Overload protection requirements, such as over travel protection, over torque protection, etc.;
6. Local operation requirements, such as whether to bring a local operation handwheel;
7. Operation instruction requirements.
As the level of industrial automation requirements has increased significantly, the demand for electric (pneumatic) valves is also increasing, and the control requirements for electric (pneumatic) valves have become more and more detailed and complex. For the correct selection of electric (pneumatic) valves, it not only involves the correct use of the product, but also may affect the safety of the entire pipeline system. Users should understand and understand the relevant selection knowledge.

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.

Comparison table of valve diameter and medium flow rate

September 14, 2020

It is well known that the flow rate and flow rate of the valve mainly depend on the diameter of the valve, and also

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

related to the resistance of the valve structure to the medium. At the same time, it has a certain internal connection with various factors such as the valve pressure, temperature and medium concentration. The flow channel area of the valve has a direct relationship with the flow rate and flow rate, and the flow rate and flow rate are two mutually dependent quantities. When the flow rate is constant, the flow rate is large, the flow channel area can be smaller; the flow rate is small, the flow channel area can be larger. On the contrary, the flow channel area is large, its flow velocity is small; the flow channel area is small, its flow velocity is large.
1. The flow rate of the medium is large, and the valve diameter can be smaller, but the resistance loss is large and the valve is easily damaged. If the flow velocity is large, it will have electrostatic effect on flammable and explosive media, causing danger; the flow velocity is too small, the efficiency is low and it is not economical. For the medium with high viscosity and explosive, the flow rate should be smaller. The flow rate of oil and liquid with high viscosity is selected according to the viscosity, generally 0.1～2m/s.
2. In general, the flow rate is known, and the flow rate can be determined by experience. The nominal diameter of the valve can be calculated through the flow rate and flow rate.
3. The valve diameter is the same, its structure type is different, and the fluid resistance is also different. Under the same conditions, the larger the resistance coefficient of the valve, the more the flow rate and flow rate of the fluid through the valve will drop; the smaller the valve resistance coefficient, the less the flow rate and flow rate of the fluid through the valve will drop.
The common flow rates of various media are shown in the following table:

Note: The unit of DN value is mm; the unit of P value is MPa.
for example:
The resistance coefficient of the gate valve is small, only in the range of 0.1 to 1.5; the resistance coefficient of the large diameter gate valve is 0.2 to 0.5; the resistance coefficient of the narrow gate valve is larger.
The resistance coefficient of the stop valve is much larger than that of the gate valve, generally between 4 and 7.
The resistance coefficient of the Y-type globe valve (DC type) is small, between 1.5 and 2; the resistance coefficient of the forged steel globe valve is large, even as high as 8.
The resistance coefficient of the check valve depends on the structure: the swing check valve is usually about 0.8-2, among which the multi-leaf swing check valve has a large resistance coefficient; the lift check valve has a large resistance coefficient, up to 12 .
The resistance coefficient of the plug valve is small, usually about 0.4 to 1.2.
The resistance coefficient of the diaphragm valve is generally around 2.3.
The drag coefficient of butterfly valve is small, generally within 0.5. The resistance coefficient of the ball valve is small, generally around 0.1.
Note: The resistance coefficient of the above valve is the value when the valve is fully opened. The selection of valve diameter should take into account the machining accuracy and dimensional deviation of the valve, as well as other factors. The valve diameter should have a certain margin, generally 15%. In actual work, the valve diameter depends on the diameter of the process pipeline.

The difference and application of stainless steel 430, 304, 316

September 14, 2020

Stainless steel 430, 304,316 are the material of valve body, valve stem/shaft, or valve disc/plate.

lug type butterfly valve body

430 ferritic stainless steel containing more than 12% chromium can prevent oxidation caused by natural factors. It is called stainless steel. It belongs to 430 ferritic stainless steel. It has low thermal expansion rate, excellent formability and oxidation resistance. The code name in JIS is 430, so it is also called 430 stainless steel.

Application of 430 ferritic stainless steel: 430 stainless steel (16Cr) is often used to make household appliances, heat-resistant appliances, burners, home appliances, class 2 tableware, kitchen sinks, exterior decoration materials, bolts, nuts, CD rods, screens .

The difference between 430 stainless steel and 304, 316 austenitic stainless steel: 430 stainless steel and 304, 316 austenitic stainless steel are identified by spectral analysis and chemical element analysis. Both 304 and 316 are austenitic stainless steels. 316 is made of 304 stainless steel with molybdenum added. Therefore, 316 stainless steel has much better seawater and rust resistance than 304.
The difference between 304, 316 and 430 lies in the rust resistance. In addition to chromium, 304 and 316 also contain elements such as nickel and molybdenum, and are non-magnetic. Therefore, the rust resistance of 304/316 austenitic stainless steel is better than 430 stainless steel is much better and the price is much higher. To

Can the 430 stainless steel magnet hold it? 304 and 316 are not magnetic and cannot be attracted by magnets. Generally, it does not generate heat in a high-voltage electromagnetic environment, so it is used more. Martensitic and 430 ferritic stainless steel, precipitation hardening stainless steel are magnetic, and magnets can attract them.

Will 430 stainless steel rust? 430 stainless steel cannot resist the oxidation caused by chemicals in the air. Because there are more and more acidic chemicals in the air, 430 stainless steel will still be oxidized (rusted) due to unnatural factors after being used for a period of time.

Which is better, 430 stainless steel or 304? 304 austenitic stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and no magnetism. Relatively speaking, austenitic stainless steel 304 is better than 430 ferritic stainless steel.

How expensive is 430 stainless steel compared to 304? Generally speaking, austenitic stainless steel 304 is twice as expensive as 430 stainless steel.

What are the main factors affecting valve sealing?

September 11, 2020

Valve leakage is very common in daily life and industrial production, and the impact is very large. It will cause waste or bring danger to life. For example, the leakage of tap water valve will lead to serious consequences, such as the

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

chemical industry. Toxic, harmful, flammable, explosive and corrosive media leakage, etc., serious threats to personal safety, property safety and environmental pollution accidents. A valve that relies on external force to rotate and drive to open and close is designed with a sealing device. It is used to install a certain number of packing seals in the packing culvert to achieve a sealing effect, but how about the sealing? Leakage at the packing of the valve is one of the most prone to leakage failure in the valve, but the reasons are largely the following reasons.

1. The structure of the sealing pair

The structure of the sealing pair will change when the temperature or sealing force changes. Moreover, this change will affect and change the mutual force between the sealing pairs, thereby reducing the performance of the valve sealing. Therefore, when choosing a seal, be sure to choose a seal with elastic deformation. At the same time, pay attention to the width of the sealing surface. The reason is that the contact surfaces of the sealing pair cannot be completely matched. When the width of the sealing surface increases, the force required for sealing must be increased.

2. The specific pressure of the sealing surface

The specific pressure of the sealing surface affects the sealing performance of the valve and the service life of the valve. Therefore, the specific pressure of the sealing surface is also a very important factor. Under the same conditions, too much specific pressure will cause damage to the valve, but too little wine will cause valve leakage. Therefore, we need to fully consider the appropriateness of the specific pressure when designing.

3. The physical properties of the medium

The physical properties of the medium also affect the sealing performance of the valve. These physical properties include temperature, viscosity and surface hydrophilicity. The temperature change not only affects the slackness of the sealing pair and changes in the size of the parts, but also has an inseparable relationship with the viscosity of the gas. The gas viscosity increases or decreases as the temperature increases or decreases. Therefore, in order to reduce the influence of temperature on the sealing performance of the valve, when we design the sealing pair, we must design it into a valve with thermal compensation such as an elastic valve seat. Viscosity is related to the permeability of the fluid. When under the same conditions, the greater the viscosity, the smaller the permeability of the fluid. The hydrophilicity of the surface means that when there is a thin film on the metal surface, the thin film should be removed. Because this thin oil film will destroy the hydrophilicity of the surface and block the fluid channel.

4. The quality of the sealing pair

The quality of the sealing pair mainly refers to the selection, matching, and manufacturing accuracy of materials. For example, the valve disc and the sealing surface of the valve seat are very consistent, which can improve the sealing performance. The characteristic of many hoop waviness is its good labyrinth sealing performance.

Reasons and solutions for leakage of valve sealing surface

September 11, 2020

The valve is the most used control component in the fluid system. It can be used to switch or control the flow

U-type-flange-butterfly-valve-2

direction and adjust the function. From the simplest cut-off function, the valve is sealed in the machine. Its function is to prevent the medium from In the cavity where the part is located, the joint between the parts leaks outward or prevents external substances from entering the inside. The collar and parts that play a sealing role are called seals or sealing structures, or seals for short. The two joint surfaces are in contact with the seal and play a sealing role. The surface is called the sealing surface. The valve sealing surface is the core part of the valve, and its leakage can generally be divided into the following types, namely, leakage of the sealing surface, leakage at the joint of the sealing ring, leakage caused by the fall of the closure member, and leakage of foreign objects embedded between the sealing surfaces. One of the most extensive uses of valves in pipelines and equipment is to cut off the flow of media. Therefore, its tightness is the main factor that determines whether internal leakage occurs. The valve sealing surface is generally composed of a pair of sealing pairs, one on the valve body and the other on the disc.

The reasons for the leakage of the sealing surface are generally as follows:
1. The sealing surface is unevenly ground and cannot form a tight line;
Second, the top center of the connection between the valve stem and the closing member is suspended, incorrect or worn;
3. The valve stem is bent or incorrectly assembled, which makes the closing part skewed or out of alignment;
4. Improper selection of the sealing surface material or failure to select the valve according to the working conditions, the sealing surface is prone to corrosion, erosion and wear;
5. Surfacing and heat treatment are not operated in accordance with the regulations, due to low hardness, wear, corrosion due to burning of alloy elements, and cracks due to excessive internal stress;
Six, the sealing surface after the surface treatment peels off or loses its original performance due to excessive grinding; Seven, the sealing surface is not tightly closed or the crevices appearing due to cold shrinkage after closing, resulting in intermediate corrosion; Eight, treat the shut-off valve as When the throttle valve and pressure reducing valve are used, the sealing surface is eroded and damaged;
9. The valve has reached the fully closed position and continued to apply excessive closing force, including incorrect use of long levers, and the sealing surface was crushed and deformed;
10. Excessive wear of the sealing surface causes disconnection, that is, the sealing pair cannot be tightly sealed;

Prevention and elimination methods of valve sealing surface leakage:
1. When grinding the sealing surface, the grinding tools, abrasives, emery cloth, sandpaper and other objects should use a reasonable grinding method to be correct, and color inspection should be carried out after grinding. The sealing surface should be free of indentation, cracks, scratches and other defects;
2. The connection between the valve stem and the closing member should meet the design requirements. If the top center does not meet the requirements, it should be trimmed. The top center should have a certain movable clearance, especially the axial gap between the valve stem shoulder and the closing member should not be less than 2 Mm;
3. The bend of the valve stem should be straightened. After the valve stem, stem nut, closing parts and valve seat are adjusted, they should be on a common axis;
Fourth, when selecting a valve or replacing the sealing surface, it should meet the working conditions. After the sealing surface is processed, its corrosion resistance, resistance and scratch resistance should be good;
5. The surfacing welding and heat treatment process should meet the technical requirements of the regulations and specifications. After the sealing surface is processed, the acceptance should be carried out. No defects that affect the use are allowed;
Six, the sealing surface surface firing, nitriding, shed infiltration, plating and other processes must be carried out in strict accordance with the technical requirements of its regulations and specifications. The penetration layer of the sealing surface should not exceed one-third of this layer to damage the plating and penetration layer. In serious cases, the plating layer and penetration layer should be removed and the surface treatment should be performed again. The sealing surface of the surface with high frequency smashing can be repeatedly fired and repaired;
Seven, the valve should be marked when it is closed or opened, and it should be repaired in time if the valve is not tightly closed. For high-temperature valves, some slits that appear to be cold-shrinked after closing should be closed more than once at a certain interval after closing;
8. The valve used as a shut-off valve is not allowed to be used as a throttle valve or a pressure reducing valve. The closing part should be in the fully open or fully closed position. When the flow and pressure of the medium need to be adjusted, the throttle valve and reducing valve should be set separately. Pressure valve;
9. The front opening and closing of the valve should comply with the section “Operation of the valve”. The closing force of the valve is appropriate. The diameter of the handwheel is less than 320mm. Only one person is allowed to operate. For handwheels with a diameter equal to or greater than 320mm, two persons or one person are allowed to operate. Operate with leverage within 500 mm;
10. After the waterline drops, it should be adjusted, and the sealing surface that cannot be adjusted should be replaced;

The main classification and use conditions of valve sealing materials

September 10, 2020

The valve seal is the most important part of the entire valve. Its main purpose is to prevent leakage. The valve sealing

soft sealing marine valve, rubber sealing, valve seat parts

seat is also called a sealing ring. It is an organization that directly contacts the medium in the pipeline and prevents the medium from flowing. When the valve is in use, there are a variety of different media in the pipeline, such as liquid, gas, oil, corrosive media, etc., and different valve seals are used in different places and can adapt to various medium.
Then, valve seal materials can be divided into two major categories, namely, metallic materials and non-metallic materials. Non-metallic seals are generally used for pipelines at room temperature and pressure, while metal seals are widely used and can be used for high temperature and high pressure!
The following briefly introduces the use conditions of various sealing materials and the commonly used valve types.
