Structural characteristics and suitable medium of soft sealing gate valve

Structural characteristics of soft sealing gate valve:

Gate valves are mainly used in water-passing pipelines, but traditional gate valves may leak or corrode during use, which affects the performance of gate valves. As an upgraded product of traditional gate valves, the emergence of soft-sealed gate valves solves the problems of traditional gate valves that are easy to leak, easy to rust, and have poor elasticity. This article will give an introduction to the structural characteristics of soft sealing gate valves.

Soft sealing gate valve can be divided into dark rod soft sealing gate valve and rising rod soft sealing gate valve according to the structure. The working principle of the two structures is the same, the difference lies in the valve body structure, installation space, application range and so on. Details will be shared with you in future articles.

The structural characteristics of soft sealing gate valve are:
1. The valve body is made of ductile iron, which is lighter in weight and more conducive to installation and maintenance than traditional gate valves.
2. The valve body is coated with powder epoxy resin, which can play an anti-oxidation effect, prevent the valve body from being corroded, and is not easy to rust.
3. The traditional gate valve seat has grooves at the bottom. After the medium flows through, impurities in the medium such as stones, wood chips, iron chips and other debris will deposit and accumulate in the grooves at the bottom of the valve seat, which will cause the gate to fail to close completely over time. , causing leakage. The bottom of the valve seat of the soft-sealed gate valve is a flat-bottom design, and the medium containing impurities will not be precipitated and deposited when the valve body flows through, which ensures the sealing performance.
4. The gate of the soft-sealing gate valve is covered with high-quality rubber as a whole. The rubber and the gate are firmly attached, not easy to fall off, and have elastic memory, so that the gate and the valve seat can be tightly sealed to achieve good sealing performance. .

What medium is suitable for soft sealing butterfly valve:

In the introduction of the previous article, we learned that the sealing performance of the soft-sealed butterfly valve is superior, and it can achieve two-way sealing and zero leakage. The suitable media for soft seals are air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, oil, etc.
Butterfly valve can be divided into soft sealing butterfly valve and hard sealing butterfly valve according to the different sealing surface materials. The sealing surface refers to the valve seat of the butterfly valve. The sealing surface materials of the soft-seal butterfly valve we often see are EPDM, nitrile and PTFE. The three types of soft-sealed butterfly valves of different materials are also different in the applicable medium in the pipeline.

EPDM
Also called EPDM, codenamed EPDM. EPDM rubber is the most commonly used valve seat material for soft-seal butterfly valves, and it is also widely used. In the working environment of normal temperature and pressure, the use of EPDM valve seats has very good sealing performance. And EPDM rubber is resistant to ozone, aging, and has a long service life. The soft-sealed butterfly valve with EPDM as the valve seat material is suitable for fresh water, sewage, seawater and similar mud and other media containing impurities.

Nitrile
Nitrile-butadiene rubber, code-named NBR, has one of the biggest features of this material is its oil resistance is particularly good, in addition to a certain degree of wear resistance and heat resistance. The soft-sealed butterfly valve uses nitrile rubber as the sealing surface material, which can be used in oil pipelines and oily media. In addition, nitrile rubber is not suitable for medium such as fresh water, because it contains certain toxicity, which will cause harm to human health.

Teflon
PTFE is a fluoroplastic, code-named PTFE. The characteristics of PTFE are resistance to various acids and alkalis and various organic solvents; PTFE is used as the soft sealing partner of the valve seat material, which is mainly used in chemical industry, oil refining, chemical fiber, phosphate fertilizer, non-ferrous smelting, acid production, dyeing and other industries In the field, the applicable media are all corrosive strong acid and strong alkali media.
It can be seen from the above introduction that the soft sealing butterfly valve has a wide range of media and can be used in many fields. However, the soft sealing butterfly valve also has certain defects. Because of its own sealing material, it is not suitable for high temperature, high pressure and severe erosion conditions. In addition, in order to ensure the sealing performance of the soft-sealed butterfly valve, regular maintenance of its sealing surface should also be noted.

Structural characteristics of centerline butterfly valve
The composition of the centerline butterfly valve mainly includes the valve body, the butterfly plate, the valve stem, the valve seat and the actuator. The actuator mainly includes handle, turbine head, electric head, pneumatic head, etc. The valve body is made by integral casting process. The valve seat sealing ring is made of rubber and is inlaid on the valve body. A shaft sleeve is designed in the two shaft holes of the valve body to provide support and lubrication for the valve stem.
The operation of the centerline butterfly valve is also very simple. Take the handle centerline butterfly valve as an example. Pull the handle to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, the handle drives the valve stem, and the valve stem drives the butterfly plate to rotate 90° to complete the opening and closing of the butterfly valve. The whole process is also very labor-saving.

Instructions for use of centerline butterfly valve
1. Avoid bumps and scratches during transportation;
2. Do not store in the open air during storage, avoid the valve from being exposed to sunlight or rain, pay attention to ensure the ventilation of the storage place, and keep the valve dry.
3. The following preparations should be done before installation of the centerline butterfly valve:
① Carefully check whether the valve used conforms to the performance specifications required by the operating conditions.
②Clean the sealing surface of the valve body without any impurities and dirt, and do not open or close the valve plate before cleaning.
③ Clean the inside of the pipeline to be installed, and there must be no dirt or debris.
④ Check whether the drive device can be used normally.
4. The installation position should be reasonable, and the installation position of the valve should be ensured to be convenient for use, maintenance or replacement. In addition, it is not necessary to consider the flow direction of the pipeline medium during installation.
5. Pipe flanges must use special flanges.
6. After the centerline butterfly valve is installed, it should be checked regularly during use. The main items to check are as follows:
① Whether the butterfly valve seat and O-ring seal are damaged or corroded.
②Whether the valve plate sealing surface is damaged or corroded.
Note: After each inspection, the inspection results should be recorded in detail for future reference.

Structural characteristics of butterfly valve

The butterfly plate of the butterfly valve is installed in the diameter direction of the pipeline. In the cylindrical passage of the valve body of the butterfly valve, the disc-shaped butterfly plate rotates around the axis, and the rotation angle is between 0° and 90°. When it is rotated to 90°, the valve is fully opened.

The butterfly valve has a simple structure, small volume and light weight, and is composed of only a few parts. And only need to rotate 90 ° to quickly open and

close, simple operation, and the valve has good fluid control characteristics. When the butterfly valve is in the fully open position, the thickness of the butterfly plate is the single resistance when the medium flows through the valve body, so the pressure drop generated by the valve is very small, so it has good flow control characteristics. There are two types of butterfly valve: elastic seal and metal seal. Elastic sealing valve, the sealing ring can be embedded on the valve body or attached to the periphery of the butterfly plate.

Valves with metal seals generally have a longer life-time than valves with elastic seals, but it is difficult to achieve complete sealing. Metal seals can adapt to higher operating temperatures, while elastic seals have the disadvantage of being limited by temperature.

If the butterfly valve is required to be used as a flow control, the main thing is to choose the valve size and type correctly. The structure principle of the butterfly valve is especially suitable for making large-diameter valves. Butterfly valves are not only widely used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, and water treatment, but also in cooling water systems of thermal power stations.

Commonly used butterfly valves are wafer-type butterfly valves and flanged butterfly valves. Wafer type butterfly valve is to connect the valve between the two pipeline flanges with double-headed bolts. Flange type butterfly valve is to have a flange on the valve, and use bolts to connect the two ends of the valve to the pipeline flange. There are four types of butterfly valves in Tanghai Valve company, see below:
