Butterfly Valve of Marine Valves(tanghai valve)

March 27, 2024

A butterfly valve used in marine applications, often referred to simply as a marine butterfly valve, is a critical component in ship systems for controlling the flow of fluids such as water, fuel, and various other liquids.

Here’s an overview Features:

corrosion Resistance: Marine environments expose valves to corrosive elements like saltwater. Hence, marine butterfly valves are typically made from materials such as bronze, stainless steel, or other corrosion-resistant alloys.
Compact Design: Space is often limited aboard ships, so marine butterfly valves are designed to be compact and lightweight while still providing efficient flow control.
Resilient Seating: Many marine butterfly valves feature resilient seating made of materials like EPDM or NBR, which offer excellent sealing properties and resistance to wear, corrosion, and chemicals.
Bidirectional Sealing: Butterfly valves are inherently bidirectional, meaning they can effectively seal flow in both directions, allowing flexibility in installation and operation.
Manual or Actuated Operation: Marine butterfly valves can be operated manually using a hand lever or wheel, or they can be equipped with pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic actuators for remote operation and automation.

Selection Considerations:

Size and Pressure Rating: Choose a valve size and pressure rating suitable for the intended application and system requirements aboard the ship.
Material Compatibility: Select materials compatible with the fluids being handled and resistant to corrosion in the marine environment.
Sealing Material: Consider the type of sealing material based on temperature, pressure, and fluid properties to ensure reliable performance and longevity.
Operation Type: Determine whether manual or actuated operation is preferable based on accessibility, control requirements, and automation needs.
Compliance and Certification**: Ensure the selected valve meets relevant industry standards and certifications for marine applications, such as those from classification societies like DNV, ABS, or Lloyd’s Register.

Usage:

Installation: Install the marine butterfly valve correctly according to manufacturer specifications, ensuring proper alignment, bolt torquing, and gasket sealing between flanges.
Operation: Operate the valve using the designated controls, whether manual or actuated, following established procedures for opening, closing, and adjusting flow rates as needed.
Maintenance: Implement a regular maintenance schedule to inspect, clean, lubricate, and replace components as necessary to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
Monitoring: Periodically monitor the valve’s operation and condition for signs of leakage, wear, or malfunction, and take corrective action as required to prevent downtime or safety hazards.
Emergency Response: Establish protocols for responding to valve failures, leaks, or other emergencies, including shutdown procedures, isolation measures, and contingency plans to mitigate risks and minimize disruptions. By considering these factors and adhering to best practices for selection, installation, operation, and maintenance, marine butterfly valves can effectively control flow and contribute to the safe and efficient operation of ship systems.

Marine Butterfly Valves are Used to Close or Open the Medium in the Ballistic Channel (Tanghai Valve)

October 23, 2023

Valve selection of a single variety of valve goods, marine valve speech is inconsistent, partly by use (such as chemical, alcohol, power station, etc.), partly by medium (such as water vapor, atmosphere valve, etc.), partly by material (such as pig iron valve, cast steel valves, forged steel valves, etc.), partly by the way of connection (such as fingerprints, flange valves, etc.), and partly by the measurement (such as high-temperature valves, low-temperature valves, etc.). The following is a list of the most common types of pressure reducing valves for marine use.

Marine pressure reducing valve – used to actively elevate the ballistic and facilities within the medium pressure. Marine pressure-reducing valve medium through the valve flap gap, marine pressure-reducing valve occurs barrier formation pressure loss, to reach the means of pressure reduction. Trap – used to steam ballistic actively remove condensate, to prevent the loss of steam or leakage. Marine butterfly valve is used to close or open the ballistic medium. Can also be used for conditioning. Insurance valve – used in boilers, ware facilities and ballistic, when the media pressure stumbles over the rule value, can actively remove the excess media pressure, to protect the consumption of operational insurance.

In the power station valves can master the boiler and steam engine operation; in alcohol, chemical consumption, the valve also plays a role in mastering the whole consumer facilities and process line of the abnormal operation. In other units are also like that. In spite of this, valves are often ignored by the crowd compared with other goods. Similarly: when installing tools and facilities, people often focus on the main tools and facilities range. Therefore, for the valve selection, installation, use and so on need to be careful.

Difference between forged valve and cast valve

April 8, 2022

What is the difference between a forged valve and a cast valve? This article will explain to you how to distinguish between forged and cast valves.

forged valve:
Forged valves are forged and forged, and are generally used on high-grade pipelines with relatively small diameters, generally below DN50.
1. Forging: It is a processing method that uses a forging machine to apply pressure to a metal blank to cause plastic deformation to obtain a forging with certain mechanical properties, certain shape and size.
2. Forging materials are mainly carbon steel and alloy steel of various compositions, followed by aluminum, magnesium, titanium, copper, etc. and their alloys. The original state of the material is bar, ingot, metal powder and liquid metal. The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the metal before deformation to the die cross-sectional area after deformation is called the forging ratio. Correct selection of forging ratio has a lot to do with improving product quality and reducing costs.

Cast valve:
Casting valves are valves made by casting. Generally, the pressure levels of cast valves are relatively low (such as PN16, PN25, PN40, but there are also high-pressure ones, which can reach 1500Lb, 2500Lb), and most of the calibers are above DN50.
1. Casting: It is the process of smelting metal into a liquid that meets certain requirements and pouring it into a mold. After cooling, solidification, and cleaning, a casting (part or blank) with predetermined shape, size and performance is obtained. The basic technology of modern machinery manufacturing industry.

2. The cost of the blank produced by casting is low, and it is more economical for parts with complex shapes, especially with complex inner cavities; at the same time, it has wide adaptability and good comprehensive mechanical properties.
3. Materials (such as metal, wood, fuel, molding materials, etc.) and equipment (such as metallurgical furnaces, sand mixers, molding machines, core making machines, shakeout machines, shot blasting machines, cast iron plates, etc.) required for foundry production ) more, and will produce dust, harmful gas and noise and pollute the environment.

Information about stainless steel wafer butterfly valve

December 27, 2021

Stainless steel wafer butterfly valves are metal butterfly valves. Metal valves generally have a longer life than elastic sealing valves, but it is difficult to achieve a complete seal. The metal seal can adapt to higher working temperature, while the elastic seal has the defect of being limited by temperature.

The structure of stainless steel wafer butterfly valve

If the butterfly valve is required to be used as a flow control, the main thing is to correctly select the size and type of the valve. The structure principle of the butterfly valve is especially suitable for making large-diameter valves. Stainless steel wafer butterfly valves are not only widely used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, water treatment, etc., but also used in cooling water systems of thermal power stations. The commonly used wafer butterfly valve uses stud bolts to connect the valve between the two pipeline flanges. The flanged butterfly valve has a flange on the valve, and the two ends of the valve are flanged to the pipeline flange with bolts.

Installation of stainless steel wafer butterfly valve
The butterfly plate of the stainless steel wafer butterfly valve is installed in the diameter direction of the pipeline. In the cylindrical passage of the butterfly valve body, the disc-shaped butterfly plate rotates around the axial direction, and the rotation angle is between 0° and 90°. When the rotation reaches 90°, the valve is in a fully open state. The wafer butterfly valve is simple in structure, small in size and light in weight, and consists of only a few parts. Moreover, it can be opened and closed quickly by rotating 90°, and the operation is simple. At the same time, 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 only resistance for the medium to flow through the valve body.

Classification of stainless steel wafer butterfly valves
According to the form, it can be divided into offset plate type, vertical plate type, inclined plate type and lever type. According to the sealing form, it can be divided into two types: soft sealing type and hard sealing type. The soft seal type generally uses a rubber ring seal, and the hard seal type generally uses a metal ring seal. According to the transmission mode, it can be divided into manual, gear transmission, pneumatic, hydraulic and electric.

The correct operation method of manual valve

September 3, 2021

The manual valve is operated by the operator with the help of a handle or a hand wheel to manipulate the opening and closing of the valve by manpower. When the valve opening and closing torque is large, a turbine device needs to be installed between the handle or hand wheel and the valve stem, which is more labor-saving. . Normally, the switching direction of a manual valve is to pull the handle or handwheel of the valve, turn it clockwise in the thorium direction to close, and turn it counterclockwise to open the valve. However, under special circumstances, the opening and closing direction of the manual valve may be reversed. This requires operators, especially those experienced

Wafer type butterfly valve with worm gear

operators, to not directly operate the valve based on experience, and check the valve before operation. Open and close signs to avoid losses caused by improper operation. The correct operation method of manual valve is as follows:
1. The operation of manual valve requires the person who manipulates the valve to hold the handle or hand wheel to operate. It is not possible to switch the valve with levers and long wrenches to avoid damage to the handle or hand wheel due to excessive force, let alone violent operation to avoid accidents. happen.
Under normal circumstances, the length of the handle or the diameter of the handwheel is less than 320mm, and only one person is allowed to operate; when the diameter of the handwheel is equal to or greater than 320mm, two people are allowed to complete the operation together, or a single person can appropriately use tools, levers or wrenches. Operate, but pay attention to the lever length not to exceed 0.5m.

2. Both manual gate valve and manual stop valve are operated with the help of handwheels. After the valve is fully opened or closed, it must be rotated 1/4 to 1/2 circle to make the threads tightly fit better and avoid the valve at the same time. Overtightening may cause damage.
3. To operate the manual steam valve, preheat the pipe before opening it to discharge the condensed water in the pipe; open the valve slowly to prevent the occurrence of water hammer and cause damage to the valve and pipeline equipment.
4. The sealing surface of the normally open manual valve is easy to stick to impurities and dirt. Before closing and closing, slightly open a slit to allow the high-speed flowing medium to wash away these foreign objects, and then gently close it to improve the sealing effect .
5. In some pipelines with over-temperature medium, when the manual valve is closed, the temperature in the valve body drops, because the thermal expansion and contraction cause the valve to shrink, and there will be some small gaps in the sealing surface, and the valve will leak. In this case, after closing the manual valve, close it again after a while.

The correctness of manual valve operation affects the service life of the valve and even production safety, so it is necessary to master the correct valve operation method. Safe production, start with small things.

Pneumatic butterfly valve installation instructions and steps
Whether the pneumatic butterfly valve is installed well will affect the efficiency of the equipment. And the maintenance of the pneumatic butterfly valve is also related to the performance of the equipment. Improper installation or lack of maintenance will cause the performance of the butterfly valve to decline, and even unnecessary dangers. The user should check and maintain the pneumatic butterfly valve as scheduled.

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

1. Before installation, check that all parts of the pneumatic butterfly valve are not missing, the model is correct, there is no debris in the valve body, and there is no blockage in the solenoid valve and muffler;
2. Put the valve and cylinder in the closed state.
3. Hit the cylinder against the valve (the installation direction is either parallel or perpendicular to the valve body), and then check whether the screw holes are aligned, there will be no too much deviation, if there is a little deviation, just rotate the cylinder body a little. , And then tighten the screws.
4. After installation, debug the pneumatic butterfly valve (the air supply pressure is 0.4~0.6MPa under normal circumstances), and the solenoid valve must be opened and closed manually during the debugging operation (the solenoid valve coil can only be operated manually after the solenoid valve coil is de-energized). Observe the opening and closing of the pneumatic butterfly valve. If the valve is found to be a bit difficult at the beginning of the opening and closing process during the debugging operation, and then it is normal, you need to reduce the stroke of the cylinder (the stroke adjustment screws at both ends of the cylinder should be adjusted inward at the same time, and the valve should be moved to the open position during adjustment. , Then turn off the air source and adjust again) until the valve opens and closes smoothly and closes without leakage. It should also be noted that the adjustable silencer can adjust the opening and closing speed of the valve, but it should not be adjusted too small, otherwise the valve may not operate.
5. Defa should be kept dry before installation, and should not be stored in the open air;
6. Check the pipeline before installing the butterfly valve to ensure that there is no foreign matter such as welding slag in the pipeline;
7. The manual opening and closing resistance of the butterfly valve body is moderate, and the torque of the butterfly valve matches the torque of the selected actuator.
8. The flange specification for butterfly valve connection is correct, and the pipe clamp flange conforms to the

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

butterfly valve flange standard. It is recommended to use special flanges for butterfly valves instead of flat welding flanges.
9. Confirm that the flange welding is correct. After the butterfly valve is installed, the flange must not be welded to avoid scalding the rubber parts.
10. The installed pipe flange should be centered and centered with the inserted butterfly valve.
11. Install all the flange bolts and tighten them by hand. It will be confirmed that the butterfly valve and the flange have been aligned, and then the butterfly valve will be opened and closed carefully to ensure flexible opening and closing.
12. Fully open the valve. Use a wrench to tighten the bolts in diagonal order. No washers are needed. Do not overtighten the bolts to prevent serious deformation of the valve ring and excessive opening and closing torque.

The role and use of the ball valve

July 16, 2021

The function of the ball valve:
The opening and closing part of the ball valve is a round sphere with a hole. The ball core rotates around the axis of the valve stem by 0-90° back and forth to achieve the purpose of opening or closing the valve. Ball valves have many functions. They are generally used to switch off or adjust the medium in the pipeline. Among them, the three-way ball valve can flexibly cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium. The sealing surface of the ball valve is usually closed with the spherical surface, so it is not easy to be eroded by the medium. It is easy to operate and has a simple and compact structure. It can be used in working conditions such as water, natural gas, acid, and solvent.

fixed ball valve

The application of the ball valve:
Ball valves can generally be divided into three categories: floating ball valves, fixed ball valves, and elastic ball valves according to their structure. According to the different sealing performance, it is divided into hard-sealed ball valves and soft-sealed ball valves. The soft-sealed ball valves have better sealing performance and can achieve zero leakage. They are generally used in normal temperature and pressure pipelines with corrosive media, while hard-sealed ball valves are not only It can be used in normal temperature and pressure, as well as pipelines with low temperature and low pressure and high temperature and high pressure.
(1) Floating ball valve
The ball of the floating ball valve is floating and is supported by two valve seats. Under the action of the medium pressure, the ball can produce a certain displacement and tightly adhere to the sealing surface of the valve seat at the outlet end to ensure that the outlet end is sealed. However, if the sphere bears the load of the working medium and is all transmitted to the outlet sealing ring, the sphere may deviate when it is impacted by a higher pressure. Therefore, the ball valve of this structure is generally suitable for normal pressure or low pressure working conditions.
(2) Fixed ball valve

Pneumatic electric high platform ball valve

The name of the fixed ball valve is that the ball is fixed, and when the valve is closed, the ball valve will not move even if it is pressurized. Fixed ball valves are equipped with a floating seat. After being pressured by the medium, the seat will move so that the sealing ring is pressed tightly on the sphere to ensure sealing. Generally, sliding bearings or rolling bearings are installed on the upper and lower shafts of the ball, which can be operated with a small torque and a small torque, and is generally suitable for high-pressure and large-diameter pipelines.
Other common classifications of ball valves, chip ball valves, orbital ball valves, V-shaped ball valves, O-shaped ball valves, cut-off ball valves, three-way ball valves, four-way ball valves, forged steel ball valves, ash unloading ball valves, anti-sulfur ball valves, eccentric ball valves, thermal insulation ball valves, pneumatic Ball valves, electric ball valves, ferrule ball valves, welded ball valves. Among them, the V-shaped ball valve has a shearing effect, which is especially suitable for media containing fibers, small solid particles, slurry and other media. The three-way ball valve can also be divided into T-type and L-type. The T-shape can make the three intersecting pipelines connect to each other or cut off any one of the channels, playing the role of splitting and merging. The L-shape only connects two perpendicular pipes, and cannot connect to the third pipe at the same time, and it mainly plays a role of distribution.

Schematic diagram of electric ball valve structure

July 14, 2021

The electric ball valve has a simple structure and is composed of a few parts. It has the advantages of small size, light weight, small installation size, small driving torque, easy operation and agility, and it can be quickly opened and closed only by rotating 90°. It has a good flow regulating effect and sealing characteristics; in the application range of large and medium caliber, medium and low pressure, the electric ball valve is one of the leading valves, and it is mainly used to cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline. When the electric ball valve is fully opened, there is no resistance when the medium flows through the ball core port, so the pressure drop that occurs through the valve is very small, so it has better flow control characteristics.

O type ball valve O shaped ball core

Electric ball valve structure: There are many types of electric ball valves, which are generally divided into two categories according to different structural forms, namely O-shaped structure and V-shaped structure. The valve ball openings of the two are different, and the application is also different. O-type is generally suitable for shutting off. Use, occasionally adjust, but V-type is more suitable for adjustment (large adjustable ratio).

O-type ball valve structure:
The O-shaped ball valve is equipped with a ball with a middle through hole inside the valve body. A through hole with the same diameter as the pipe diameter is opened on the ball. When it is fully opened, it is a non-block valve with a large flow capacity and no directionality when fluid enters the valve. The sphere can rotate in the sealing seat, and there is a ring-shaped elastic body on both sides of the pipeline direction to achieve sealing. By rotating the ball 90°, the direction of the through hole can be changed, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the ball valve. ,

V-shaped ball valve structure:

V type ball valve, V-shaped ball core

The V-shaped ball valve core has a V-shaped structure. The valve core is a 1/4 spherical shell with a V-shaped gap. With the rotation of the ball, the opening area changes, but the shape of the opening surface is always triangular, and the flow characteristics are similar. Percentage, the adjustable ratio is large. It has the characteristics of large flow capacity, large adjustable range, shearing force, and tight closing. It is especially suitable for working conditions where fluid materials are fibrous. Generally, V-type ball valves are single-sealed ball valves. Not suitable for bidirectional use.

V-type regulating ball valve

July 1, 2021

Working principle of pneumatic V-type regulating ball valve
The ball core of the pneumatic V-shaped regulating ball valve is designed with a special V-shaped notch, which has a shearing effect on the valve seat. It is especially suitable for media containing fibers, small solid particles, slurry and other media. According to different structural methods, it can generally be divided into flange and Wafer type; Pneumatic V-type ball valve is a fixed ball valve and also a single-seat sealed ball valve. It has the best adjustment performance among ball valves and can achieve flow adjustment. At the same time, since the valve core and seat are rotated without gaps, they can be wiped by themselves. The fouling on the ball and valve seat keeps a good seal between the ball and the valve seat.

electric V type ball valve

Working principle of pneumatic V-shaped regulating ball valve:
Pneumatic V-shaped regulating ball valve realizes different degrees of proportionality according to the V-shaped angle of the V-shaped sphere. It is generally used in conjunction with a valve positioner to achieve proportional adjustment. The V-shaped spool is most suitable for various adjustment occasions and has a large rated flow coefficient. ,, The pressure loss is small, the use flow capacity is large, and it has accurate shut-off characteristics and control functions. The flow characteristics are approximately equal percentages. The opening and closing parts adopt the V-shaped ball structure, which completely solves the problem of easy deposition of medium in the valve cavity.
Features of pneumatic V-shaped regulating ball valve:
1. Pneumatic V-shaped ball valve V-shaped gap and valve seat produce a strong shear force to cut off impurities such as fibers, and has a self-cleaning function to avoid valve jamming.
2. The pneumatic V-type regulating ball valve has an inherent flow characteristic of approximately equal percentage and an adjustable ratio of up to 300:1, so it can provide precise control in a wide range of changes.

Note: Because the pneumatic V-type regulating ball valve is generally a single-seat sealed ball valve, it is not suitable for two-way use. Due to its streamlined shape and full right-angle rotation control, the maximum volume is extremely high, the flow capacity is particularly large, and the flow resistance is small.

pneumatic V type ball valve

Pneumatic V-type regulating ball valve principle dynamic diagram
The valve core of the pneumatic V-shaped regulating ball valve is designed as a V-shaped gap with a special switch. The V-shaped gap and the valve seat generate a strong shear force, which can cut off high-viscosity media containing fibers or small solid particles, and has a self-cleaning function , To avoid the phenomenon of valve jamming. Pneumatic V-shaped ball valve is suitable for regulation and control, with high stability. Even in the case of small flow or high-viscosity medium, it can also ensure the accuracy of control within the entire range; while O-shaped ball valve is suitable for cutting off, relatively It is economical.
There is a V-shaped opening on the sphere of the pneumatic V-shaped regulating ball valve. As the ball rotates, the opening area changes, but the shape of the opening surface is always triangular. The flow characteristics are approximately equal percentages, the adjustable ratio is large, and the pressure loss is small. The flow capacity is large, and it has accurate interception characteristics and control functions. The opening and closing parts adopt a V-shaped spherical structure, which completely solves the problem of easy deposition of medium in the valve cavity. It is suitable for fibrous and slurry fluids!
The angle of the V-shaped port of the pneumatic V-shaped ball valve can be customized to meet more precise shut-off characteristics and control functions. Generally, more V-shaped valves are used in slurry media. They are similar to cam flex valves and are much better than O-shaped valves. V-shaped ball valves are used as regulating valves. For example, if the medium is not clean, the flow coefficient is low, and the leakage level is high, etc. occasion.

Working principle of electric V-type regulating ball valve

V type ball valve drawing

The electric V-shaped regulating ball valve has a special-shaped V-shaped incision. When the valve is closed, the V-shaped incision and the valve seat form a wedge shape, which has a shearing effect. The electric V-shaped ball valve is suitable for the control of fibrous slurry, sewage and viscous particle media. It can prevent the seizure of dirt between the ball and the valve seat. It has a self-cleaning function and is a wide-ranging regulating valve.
When the electric V-shaped ball valve rotates, the V-shaped blade of the ball is tangent to the valve seat, thereby cutting off the fiber and solid matter in the fluid. However, the general ball valve does not have this function, so it is easy to cause the fiber impurities to get stuck when closed. , Bring great inconvenience to repair and maintenance. The valve core of the electric V-shaped ball valve will not be jammed by the fiber, and the flow rate of the pipeline medium is adjusted and controlled according to the change of the opening area of the V-shaped gap.
Note: Since the electric V-type regulating ball valve is generally a single-seat sealing ball valve, it is not suitable for two-way use. The integral valve body structure is adopted, and there is no potential for leakage.
Features of electric V-shaped ball valve:
1. It has the advantages of compact structure, small volume, vertical and horizontal installation, etc., adopts movable metal valve seat, self-compensation function, and has superior sealing performance and long service life.
2. The electric V-shaped ball valve adopts a double-bearing structure, which has high mechanical stability and low starting torque, which ensures that the valve has excellent sensitivity and induction speed.
3. Maximum reliability (safety): The valve body is a whole, sturdy and durable, operation is not affected by pipeline pressure, and leakage of the valve body can be avoided.
4. The V-shaped gap and valve seat of the electric V-shaped regulating ball valve produce a strong shearing force to cut off impurities such as fibers, and has a self-cleaning function to avoid valve jamming.
5. Maximum flow volume: Due to the streamlined shape of the electric V-shaped ball valve and the full right-angle rotation control, the maximum volume is particularly high, the flow capacity is particularly large, and the flow resistance is small.
