What are the advantages of gate valves-resilient & metal seated

April 15, 2022

The gate valve has an opening and closing gate. The movement direction of the gate is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid. The gate valve can only be fully opened and fully closed, and cannot be adjusted or throttled. The gate

valve is sealed by the contact between the valve seat and the gate plate. Usually, the sealing surface will be surfacing with metal materials to increase wear resistance, such as surfacing 1Cr13, STL6, stainless steel, etc. The gate has a rigid gate and an elastic gate. According to the different gates, the gate valve is divided into a rigid gate valve and an elastic gate valve.
Gate valve is a kind of valve with a large number of consultations every day. It is often used in water supply systems. The advantages of gate valves are:
1. Small flow resistance. The medium channel inside the valve body is straight, and the medium flows in a straight line. When the gate is fully opened, the internal resistance of the valve body channel is almost zero, and the flow resistance is very small.
2, opening and closing labor-saving. Whether the gate valve is open or closed, the movement direction of the gate is perpendicular to the flow direction of the medium, and the resistance of the gate to the lifting movement is also very small, and it is very labor-saving to open and close.
3. The full opening and full closing of the gate valve requires a long stroke, and the closing time is relatively long, which also makes the water hammer phenomenon less likely to occur.
4. The two sides of the gate valve channel are symmetrical, and the installation is not restricted by the flow direction of the medium, which is convenient for installation.
5. The shape is simple, the length of the structure is short, the manufacturing process is good, and the scope of application is wide.
6. Wide range of uses, gate valves are made of gray cast iron, ductile iron, cast steel, stainless steel, forged steel and other materials. Different materials can be used in different working conditions and environments, and have a wide range of applications.
Precautions for installation and use of gate valve
1. The handwheel, handle and transmission mechanism are not allowed to be used for lifting, and collision is strictly prohibited.
2. The double gate gate valve should be installed vertically (that is, the valve stem is in the vertical position and the handwheel is at the top).
3. The gate valve with bypass valve should open the bypass valve before opening (to balance the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet and reduce the opening force).
4. The gate valve with transmission mechanism shall be installed according to the provisions of the product instruction manual.
5. If the valve is frequently switched on and off, lubricate it at least once a month.
6. The gate valve is only used to fully open and fully close the medium on various pipelines or equipment, and is not allowed to be used for throttling.
7. For gate valves with handwheels or handles, auxiliary levers should not be added during operation (if the sealing is not tight, the sealing surface or other parts should be checked and repaired). Turn the handwheel and handle clockwise to close, and vice versa. The gate valve with transmission mechanism should be used in accordance with the stipulations in the product instruction manual.

The difference between a metal seated gate valve and a resilient seated gate valve:

What are the differences between hard sealing gate valves and soft sealing gate valves? This article will introduce you.

material difference:
The material of the hard sealing gate valve body is mainly cast steel, stainless steel and forged steel. The gate plate and internal flow channel seal are all made of Stellite alloy accumulation welding.
The material of the soft-sealed gate valve body is mostly cast iron, the valve plate is covered with rubber, the appearance of the soft-sealed gate valve, and the valve wall of the flow channel side are all sprayed with electrostatic powder. Not only is the appearance beautiful, but more importantly, the smoothness of the flow channel and the inner valve wall ensures that the rubber-lined gate will not be affected by the roughness of the inner valve wall when opening and closing.

difference in use:
Soft-sealed gate valve is suitable for non-corrosive gas-liquid medium at normal temperature (≤80℃). Such as water, air, oil, water treatment sewage and other pipelines. And has a good sealing effect, almost zero leakage can be achieved.
The hard-sealed gate valve is suitable for high temperature (≤425℃) with slightly corrosive gas and liquid. Such as steam, heat transfer oil, sewage, petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, pipeline. Can have a certain degree of wear resistance.

To sum up, the difference between a soft-sealed gate valve and a hard-sealed gate valve is that the sealing performance of the soft-sealed gate valve is better than that of the hard-sealed gate valve, but the temperature and wear resistance of the hard-sealed gate valve is better than that of the soft-sealed gate valve. Each has advantages and disadvantages.

The role and application of gate valve

January 7, 2022

This article introduces you to the function of gate valve, and then understands the purpose of gate valve. The gate valve is a very important control component on the pipeline that transports the fluid medium. The structure of the gate valve is composed of a valve body, a valve cover, a valve stem, a gate plate, a sealing ring, and a driving device. The driving device is usually a hand wheel, and it can also be equipped with a pneumatic or electric actuator.

DIN-F4-BB-NRS-soft seated-wedge gate valve-DN100-PN16-copper holding ring-handwheel (3)

The gate of the gate valve is a disc shape, and the valve stem is driven to realize the opening and closing of the valve. The movement direction of the valve stem and the gate is perpendicular to the valve body passage and the direction of fluid flow in the pipeline. The gate valve has only two states, fully open and fully closed, so it can only be used to cut off the flow of the medium in the pipeline, and cannot adjust the flow rate. In addition, when the gate valve is opened and closed, the stroke distance of the gate is long. Although the opening and closing is labor-saving, it takes time. Therefore, the function of the gate valve is very suitable for use in pipelines that do not need to be opened and closed frequently, and used as a cut off or connected to the circulating medium in the pipeline.
The gate of the gate valve has two sealing surfaces. When the gate valve is closed, the sealing surface of the gate can be pressed against the seat on one side by the pressure of the medium to achieve sealing, which is self-sealing. The gate is basically a forced sealing type, that is, when the gate valve is closed, it needs to rely on the external force of the medium to force the gate to the valve seat to ensure the sealing performance of the sealing surface of the gate valve.
Gate valves can be divided into open-stem gate valves and concealed-stem gate valves according to their structural form. The functions of the two structural forms of gate valves are not much different, and the more difference lies in the use environment.
1. The stem of the rising stem gate valve is exposed, and the opening and closing state of the valve can be observed intuitively when the valve is opened and closed, so as to avoid misoperation. But also because the valve stem is exposed, the height of the rising stem gate valve, which is originally large in height, is even greater. Therefore, the rising stem gate valve is suitable for use in places that require a lot of operating space, and is not suitable for working conditions with narrow space.
2. The valve stem of the concealed stem gate valve is inside the valve body, so the on-off state of the valve cannot be directly observed, and another indicating device is required. However, because the valve stem is in the valve body, the volume of the dark-stem gate valve is smaller than that of the open-stem gate valve, and it is more suitable for use in occasions where the operating space is small and the location is limited and the pipeline is dense.
When the gate valve is fully opened, there is no obstruction when the medium flows through the inside of the valve body passage, and the flow resistance is almost zero. In addition, the valve body channel of the gate valve is symmetrical on both sides, the medium can flow in both directions, and it is not affected by the flow direction of the medium during installation. The gate valve has a wide range of applications due to its good manufacturing process. Gate valves have a wide range of uses, and are widely used in water conservancy systems, water supply and drainage systems, as well as petroleum, chemical, electric power, urban construction, and fire protection industries.

Two-way triple eccentric butterfly valve

December 8, 2021

The two-way hard-sealed butterfly valve is a valve product that has been developed rapidly in recent years. From the earliest centerline butterfly valve to the later triple eccentric sealing butterfly valve to the current triple eccentric two-way sealing structure, the hard sealing butterfly valve has greatly reformed and improved its own sealing performance. In the course of this evolution and development, leading valve manufacturers have paid tremendous hard work and efforts.

cryogenic triple offset butterfly valve 1

Let’s first take a look at the sealing characteristics of the two-way hard-sealed butterfly valve. Its sealing material is forged with metal or materials with strong hardness. It has strong durability and longer service life than ordinary valve products. However, because of the material characteristics of the sealing surface, the sealing performance is worse than that of ordinary butterfly valves. Make it completely sealed. But now, with the improvement of technology, there have been the emergence of multi-layer hard sealing butterfly valves, which can achieve zero leakage and have the dual advantages of soft and hard sealing.
The seat sealing surface of the two-way hard sealing butterfly valve adopts alloy material butt welding form, high temperature resistance, easy to operate, and the opening and closing torque is transmitted to the valve stem without friction, which greatly improves the sealing performance of the sealed butterfly valve and prolongs its service life. Its main technical feature is the advantages of sealing two-way. This structure effectively compensates for the pressure of the medium, and can achieve zero-leakage sealing performance regardless of whether it is at low temperature or high temperature.
Science and technology are developing, and society is also progressing. In the past ten years of development, the two-way hard seal butterfly valve has made great progress in product development, performance, quality, reliability, and service. The market prospects are optimistic. In the future, valve manufacturers will also make greater efforts to continuously innovate and formulate development paths in terms of electricity, water, and materials. Speed up the elimination of low-efficiency and high-energy-consuming butterfly valve products, adjust the industrial structure, and promote the development and promotion of new technologies and products. At present, some long-established manufacturers already have their own multi-system butterfly valve products. If you want to purchase two-way hard-sealed butterfly valves, Tanghai Valve is your first choice.

Compared with ordinary butterfly valves, the two-way hard-to-hard seal butterfly valve has the biggest difference in that it does not require the installation direction, that is, the direction of its input and output is uncertain. Ordinary butterfly valves are one-way and have restrictions on the installation direction. In addition to this, there is another point to pay attention to when installing the two-way hard-to-hard seal butterfly valve, that is, it cannot be installed and used in places with too much pressure.
Why can’t the two-way hard-to-hard sealing butterfly valve be used in places with too much pressure? Now let’s take a look at the reasons:
1. Because the valve plate is in a normally open state, the sealing ring fixed on the valve plate is multi-layered, that is, multi-layer soft and hard stacked sealing ring. In the normally open state, the medium will flush its sealing surface positively. If the pressure is too high, the soft sealing tape in the metal sheet sandwich will be easily washed away and cause leakage.
2. At the same time, because the overall structure of the valve plate of the two-way hard-to-hard seal butterfly valve is generally thicker, the flow resistance is also relatively large. If it is installed in a place with high pressure, the flow resistance and friction can be imagined, and the damage to the sealing surface will be great.
3. Because this product is a two-way seal, the product seal is mainly to press the valve plate against the valve seat through the torque of the transmission device. The greater the pressure, the tighter the seal, but it should be in a positive flow state at this time. But if the medium in the flow channel flows backwards, if it is installed in a pipeline position with too much pressure, it is easy to cause the positive pressure of the seal between the valve plate and the valve seat to be less than the medium pressure, and leakage will occur.
The two-way hard-to-hard sealing butterfly valve has many advantages, including: it is not hindered by forward pressure and reverse pressure, and can be reliably shut off; the two sealing surface materials of the sealing pair can choose different functional materials according to different hardness; there is automatic The centering function can automatically overtravel to compensate for wear. In addition, a series of advantages such as small size, light weight, convenient transportation, installation, maintenance and repair, and reliable operation make the two-way hard-to-hard seal butterfly valve more and more popular in the market. If you have relevant needs, please consult Tanghai Valve and choose your suitable valve product.

What is a triple eccentric metal seated butterfly valve

November 30, 2021

The triple eccentric metal seated butterfly valve is classified from the multi-level metal seated butterfly valve. Named because of the triple eccentricity structure. Its sealing performance is as good as the soft sealing butterfly valve, and it can maintain a good seal even in a high-pressure and high-temperature environment. It is often used for heating, gas, and gas, oil, acid and alkali environments, and appears in industrial pipelines such as petrochemical, food, medicine, textile, paper, electricity, sewage treatment, water supply and drainage, and smelting. A variety of gas, liquid, semi-fluid and micro-particle powder transportation pipelines or containers also play an important role. In more and more sites, it has gradually begun to replace electric gate valves and stop valves. And the installation position of the triple eccentric metal seated butterfly valve can be arbitrary, which is very convenient.

triple eccentric butterfly valve-wafer-lug-double flange-welded (5)

Let’s take a look at its structural characteristics and principle of action:
1. The difference between the triple eccentric metal seated butterfly valve and the ordinary butterfly valve is the triple eccentric design structure. The advantage of this structure is that there is less friction and no wear during the opening and closing process, which greatly extends the service life of the valve. The disc installation center and the rotation center are designed with a strict eccentricity.
2. The valve seat of this product is embedded with O-shaped rubber ring or fluorine plastic as the sealing gasket. This greatly compensates for the lack of tight sealing of the hard seal butterfly valve, while retaining the advantage of strong applicability of the hard seal. When the medium pressure is introduced into the sealing groove, the product seal squeezes the valve seat sealing surface to the butterfly plate under pressure to seal the valve. This unique sealing structure makes the greater the pressure, the stronger the sealing force.
3. The advantage of the triple eccentric metal seated butterfly valve is also reflected in the later maintenance. Once the sealing ring leaks, the valve can be fine-tuned to the required size by the adjusting screw to the direction of the butterfly plate without disassembling the valve, and the sealing performance of the new valve can be regained, which is a very valuable advantage.
4. In addition to the manual type, the product also has three categories and six series of products such as pneumatic and electric, which fully meets the needs of the site.
On the occasion of use, the triple eccentric metal seated butterfly valve is very suitable for working conditions where the temperature is high and leakage is not allowed, and the medium is impure and impurity, such as cement plants and power plants. And the sealing can be improved by surfacing the sealing surface and improving the strength of the valve seat. If the working conditions allow certain leakage, the ventilation butterfly valve is better to use.

Precautions for the use of triple eccentric metal seated butterfly valve

November 16, 2021

Triple eccentric hard-sealed butterfly valves are generally metal seated butterfly valves, which have an eccentric metal sealing structure. Sealing forms include metal-to-metal sealing, stainless steel plate and graphite composite plate sealing ring to metal sealing, etc. The driving methods are mainly electric, manual, turbo rod transmission,

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

pneumatic and so on. The triple eccentric hard-seal butterfly valve is very popular in the market. It maintains the advantages of the centerline butterfly valve and discards the disadvantage of the poor sealing performance of the metal seal. It is a more promising product in the market. Let’s take a look at the problems we need to pay attention to in use:
1. The triple eccentric hard sealing butterfly valve is a multi-layer soft and hard stacked sealing ring, which is also a very significant feature of the triple eccentric hard sealing butterfly valve. The seat sealing ring is composed of multiple layers of stainless steel sheets on both sides of the soft T-shaped sealing ring. When the valve plate is in the normally open state, the medium will form a positive scouring on its sealing surface, and the soft sealing tape in the metal sheet sandwich will directly affect the sealing performance after being scoured.
2. The valve will be restricted by the structural conditions, so the structure is not suitable for valves with a diameter below DN200, because the overall structure of the valve plate will be too thick and the flow resistance will be large.
3. The principle of the valve’s triple eccentric structure. The sealing between the sealing surface of the valve plate and the valve seat is to press the valve plate against the valve seat by the torque of the transmission device. It is a self-sealing property. That is, when the medium is flowing in the forward direction, the higher the medium pressure, the tighter the sealing and squeezing. However, in general, when the flow channel medium flows back, as the medium pressure increases, the unit positive pressure between the valve plate and the valve seat is less than the medium pressure, the seal will begin to leak.
Is there a solution to the inability to achieve two-way sealing? Butterfly valve manufacturers add an adjustment ring between the pressure plate and the valve seat to achieve a very ideal two-way hard seal. The sealing surface of the valve plate and the valve seat of the triple eccentric sealing butterfly valve is an oblique cone structure, and temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy materials are surfacing welded on the oblique cone surface of the valve plate. A structure in which the spring fixed between the pressure plate of the adjusting ring and the adjusting bolt of the pressure plate are assembled together. This structure effectively compensates for the tolerance zone between the shaft sleeve and the valve body and the elastic deformation of the valve stem under the medium pressure, and solves the sealing problem of the valve in the two-way interchangeable medium conveying process.
When the medium flows backward, the seal between the valve plate and the valve seat depends on the torque of the driving device to press the valve plate against the valve seat. With the increase of the reverse medium pressure, when the unit positive pressure between the valve plate and the valve seat is less than the medium pressure, the deformation energy stored by the spring of the adjusting ring after being loaded compensates for the tight pressure of the sealing surface of the valve plate and the valve seat Play the role of automatic compensation.
The triple eccentric hard seal butterfly valve adopts a soft T-shaped multi-layer stainless steel sheet on both sides to form a sealing ring. It has the dual advantages of metal hard and soft sealing, and has zero leakage sealing performance regardless of low temperature and high temperature. In the future, it may also replace gate valves and ball valves.

How to extend the service life of stainless steel metal seated butterfly valve

November 12, 2021

In general, we are most worried about the problem of stainless steel metal seated butterfly valves is rust. This is the common concern of the majority of users for metal products. In fact, stainless steel material itself is not easy to rust, but stainless steel materials are also divided into five categories, such as ferritic stainless steel, martensitic stainless steel, austenitic stainless steel, austenitic-ferritic stainless steel and precipitated carbide stainless steel. The

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

austenitic stainless steel has good corrosion resistance after normal heat treatment and will not rust easily. If the stainless steel butterfly valve rusts in normal use, it is mostly due to the precipitation of carbides along the grain boundary in the material to form a chromium-depleted zone, which causes the stainless steel hard-seal butterfly valve to rust.
Let’s take a look at what specific maintenance methods we should maintain during use in order to effectively avoid corrosion of the stainless steel metal seated butterfly valve and prolong its service life:
1. The stainless steel metal seated butterfly valve should be cleaned frequently during use, and the transmission device should be maintained and lubricated. Frequently troubleshoot faults in order to find faults and clear them in time.
2. The packing should be evenly packed and the cover should be tightened to prevent the medium from leaking from the packing for a long time and rust.
3. Pay attention to the connection method and direction of the valve to prevent leakage and erosion caused by misalignment.
4. The stainless steel metal seated butterfly valve is only used for adjustment, not fully open or fully closed, because the structural characteristics of the butterfly valve are not suitable for truncation, which will cause accelerated wear of the sealing surface.
5. Valves that have not been put into use for a long time should also be checked regularly to clean up dirt in time. Both ends of the butterfly valve channel should be closed to prevent long-term air oxidation. The product should be placed in a ventilated and dry place, not stacked or stored in the open air.
6. Eliminate the dirt on the valve parts before installation, carefully check the pressure of the valve mark to see if the diameter meets the requirements for use, and eliminate the defects caused by the transportation process.
7. The product switch must use the equipped hand wheel or electric or pneumatic device. Do not use external tools to cause damage to the valve. The handwheel butterfly valve is turned clockwise to close, otherwise it is open.
For stainless steel metal seated butterfly valves to be used for a long time, it is important from product selection to post-maintenance. Choosing a trustworthy brand is the first step, and maintenance is the continuation of quality. Of course, good manufacturers will also have more guarantees after sales. If users do not understand maintenance or have any questions or questions, they can directly contact the manufacturer for professional assistance. Tanghai Valve solemnly promises to pay two for each failure within two years. Is your trustworthy butterfly valve manufacturer.

Advantages of Triple Eccentric Metal seated Butterfly Valve

September 26, 2021

The triple eccentric butterfly valve belongs to the metal seated butterfly valve. The triple eccentricity is named because its stem axis deviates from the center of the disc and the center of the body at the same time, and there is a certain angle between the axis of rotation of the valve seat and the axis of the valve body channel. The triple-eccentric butterfly valve is corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, and has a long service life. It is suitable for working conditions

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

where the medium temperature is ≤425℃. It is widely used in metallurgy, electric power, petrochemical, and water supply and drainage, municipal construction and other industrial pipelines for adjustment. Flow rate and use of off-load fluid. The body materials of the triple eccentric butterfly valve are cast iron, cast steel and stainless steel. This article will make an analysis and introduction to the advantages of the triple eccentric butterfly valve.

1. The metal-to-metal elastic hard seal structure is a structure in which an elastic metal J-ring is installed on the valve seat. The J-ring is pressed by a pressure plate and fixed with bolts. The two sides of the J-ring are respectively provided with sealing rings with good sealing performance, high temperature and high pressure resistance, and a certain margin. The position of the J-ring can be adjusted to make the valve After a period of use, it will not leak due to wear. The valve is suitable for medium and high temperature and medium and high pressure pipeline systems.

2. High wear-resistant self-lubricating composite bearings are used in the key parts of the relative movement of the shaft and the body to reduce the friction of the butterfly plate when it is opened or closed, and to ensure that there is no wear between the shaft and the body.

3. At the bottom of the lower shaft of the valve body, a high-hardness wear-resistant alloy spherical thrust pad and a high-hardness flat pad are used. During the movement of the butterfly plate, all downward gravity and friction forces are concentrated here. Due to the high hardness of the two thrust pads, the small contact area, long-term movement without abrasion, to ensure that the valve opens and closes easily, and never sinks.

5. The metal-to-metal multi-layer composite hard seal structure is a structure in which a multi-layer composite metal ring is installed on the valve plate. The multi-layer composite metal ring is made of stainless steel metal plates and flexible graphite sheets repeatedly laminated and pressed, which has high strength and rigidity. Flexible graphite still has good sealing performance under high temperature and high pressure. The combination of rigidity and flexibility of these two materials makes the valve suitable for most media, with a wide range of applications and long service life.

What are the characteristics of the hard seal butterfly valve

September 22, 2021

Hard seal butterfly valve is a kind of butterfly valve with eccentric metal seal structure, and it is usually required to be installed horizontally in the pipeline. The sealing form of the metal hard seal butterfly valve is usually a metal-to-metal seal, and the sealing pair is composed of a metal hard material to a metal hard material. Hard-sealed butterfly valves can be driven by turbine manual, electric, pneumatic and so on.

Nowadays, hard-sealed butterfly valves have been widely used in many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, power generation, etc., to cut off or control the circulating medium in the pipeline system. At this stage, there is a relatively advanced hard-sealed butterfly valve, which is a triple-eccentric metal seated butterfly valve. Its body and seat are a conjoined component. On the sealing surface layer of the valve seat, a temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy material is surfacing welded. , And fix the multi-layer soft stacked sealing ring on the valve plate. The novel design allows the triple eccentric butterfly valve to overcome the shortcomings of poor sealing performance. The advantages of the triple eccentric butterfly valve are high temperature resistance, low friction when opening and closing, and when closed, the butterfly plate compensates for the seal along with the increase of the torque of the transmission mechanism, which greatly improves the sealing performance of the hard seal butterfly valve and prolongs the service life of the valve.

The advantages of the triple eccentric hard seal butterfly valve are:
1. The unique three-eccentric design enables frictionless transmission between the butterfly plate and the sealing surface of the valve body, reducing wear and extending the service life.
2. It can adapt well to low temperature, normal temperature and high temperature environment.
3. Pneumatic and electric devices can be configured according to the needs of users to meet the needs of remote control and program control.

The shortcomings of the triple eccentric hard seal butterfly valve are:
1. The butterfly plate of the hard sealing butterfly valve is fixed by multiple layers of soft and hard stacked sealing rings. When the butterfly plate is in the normally open state, the flowing medium will flush the sealing surface positively, which will affect the sealing performance of the valve over time.
2. Because the overall structure of the hard-sealed butterfly valve’s butterfly plate is too thick and the flow resistance is relatively large, the valve is not suitable for diameters below DN200.
