Butterfly valve flange types and introduction

Butterfly valve flange introduction, butterfly valve flange types
Butterfly valve flanges are called flanges and flanged parts. It is a product that connects valves and pipes in pipelines. The special flanges for butterfly valves are the same as ordinary flanges, that is, the inner hole is different. The special flange of the butterfly valve has a small inner hole and an extra slot for intubation.

The butterfly valve flange can be a single type or a combined type, such as the flanges at both ends of the valve, which is convenient for installing bolts. One end of the pipe and the other end are flange-to-flange connection, or a connection joint, which refers to a foldable connection that is connected to each other by flanges, gaskets and bolts as a set of combined sealing structures. Pipe flanges refer to pipe installations. The flange used in the middle piping, the valve refers to the flange of the valve, the flange has holes, bolts make the two flanges tightly connected, and the flange is sealed with gaskets.

Prevention and treatment of valve corrosion

What is valve corrosion?
Corrosion of the valve is usually understood as the damage to the metal material of the valve under the action of a chemical or electrochemical environment. Since the “corrosion” phenomenon occurs in the spontaneous interaction between the metal and the surrounding environment, how to isolate the metal from the surrounding environment or use more non-metallic synthetic materials is the focus of corrosion prevention. The valve body (including the bonnet) of the valve occupies most of the weight of the valve and is in constant contact with the medium. Therefore, the selection of the valve is often based on the material of the valve body.

The corrosion of the valve body is nothing more than two forms, namely chemical corrosion and electrochemical corrosion. Its corrosion rate depends on the temperature, pressure, chemical properties of the medium and the corrosion resistance of the valve body material. The corrosion rate can be divided into six levels:
1. Complete corrosion resistance: the corrosion rate is less than 0.001 mm/year;
2. Extremely resistant to corrosion: the corrosion rate is 0.001 to 0.01 mm/year;
3. Corrosion resistance: the corrosion rate is 0.01 to 0.1 mm/year;
4. Still corrosion resistant: the corrosion rate is 0.1 to 1.0 mm/year;
5. Poor corrosion resistance: the corrosion rate is 1.0 to 10 mm/year;
6. Not resistant to corrosion: the corrosion rate is greater than 10 mm/year.

How to prevent valve corrosion?
The anti-corrosion of the valve body is mainly based on the correct selection of materials. Although there are abundant anti-corrosion materials, it is not easy to choose the right one, because the problem of corrosion is very complicated. For example, sulfuric acid is very corrosive to steel when the concentration is low, and when the concentration is high, the steel is produced. Passivation film can prevent corrosion; hydrogen only shows strong corrosiveness to steel under high temperature and high pressure. The corrosion performance of chlorine is not great when it is in a dry state, but it is very corrosive when there is a certain humidity, and many materials cannot be used. . The difficulty in selecting valve body materials lies in not only considering corrosion issues, but also factors such as pressure resistance and temperature resistance, whether it is economically reasonable, and whether it is easy to purchase. So it must be attentive.
1. The second is to take lining measures, such as lining lead, lining aluminum, lining engineering plastics, lining natural rubber and various synthetic rubbers. If the media conditions permit, this is an economical method.
Second, again, when the pressure and temperature are not high, the main material of the fluorine-lined valve can often be very effective in preventing corrosion.
3. In addition, the outer surface of the valve body is also corroded by the atmosphere, and generally steel materials are protected by painting.

Valve selection basis and selection guide

How to select the righty type of valve? the following article will give you an idea how to choose the right structure/type valve.

Nowadays, there are more and more valves on the market, the types of valves are particularly complex, and the

structures and materials are all different. The selection of valves is very important for the long-term operation of the device in working conditions. Improper selection of valves and users’ ignorance of valves are the source of accidents and safety threats. Nowadays, the demand for valve products in the social industry is becoming more and more extensive, and users should have a further understanding and cognition of knowledge about valves and other aspects.

There are generally two types of valve characteristics, use characteristics and structural characteristics.

Use characteristics of the valve: It determines the main use performance and use range of the valve. The

butterfly valve working diagram-3D GIF animated presentation

butterfly valve working diagram-3D GIF animated presentation

characteristics of the valve use include: valve category (closed circuit valve, regulating valve, safety valve, etc.); product type (gate valve, globe valve, butterfly valve, ball valve) Etc.); the materials of the main parts of the valve (valve body, bonnet, valve stem, valve disc, sealing surface); valve transmission mode, etc.

The structural characteristics of the valve: it determines the structural characteristics of the valve installation, repair, maintenance and other methods. The structural characteristics include: the structural length and overall height of the valve, the connection form with the pipeline (flange connection, threaded connection, clamp Connection, external thread connection, welding end connection, etc.); the form of the sealing surface (inlaid ring, threaded ring, surfacing, spray welding, valve body); valve stem structure (rotating rod, lifting

rod), etc.

Valve selection steps:
1. Clarify the purpose of the valve in the equipment or device, and determine the working conditions of the valve: applicable medium, working pressure, working temperature, etc.
2. Determine the nominal diameter and connection method of the pipe connected to the valve: flange, thread, welding, ferrule, quick installation, etc.
3. Determine the method of operating the valve: manual, electric, electromagnetic, pneumatic or hydraulic, electrical linkage or electrohydraulic linkage, etc.
4. Determine the material of the valve housing and internal parts according to the medium, working pressure and

working temperature conveyed by the pipeline: gray cast iron, malleable cast iron, ductile iron, carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless acid-resistant steel, copper alloy, etc.
5 Select the type of valve: closed circuit valve, regulating valve, safety valve, etc.
6. Determine the valve type: gate valve, globe valve, ball valve, butterfly valve, throttle valve, safety valve, pressure reducing valve, steam trap, etc.
7. Determine the parameters of the valve: For automatic valves, first determine the allowable flow resistance, discharge capacity, back pressure, etc., according to different needs, and then determine the nominal diameter of the pipeline and the diameter of the valve seat hole.
8. Determine the geometric parameters of the selected valve: structural length, flange connection form and size, valve height dimension after opening and closing, connecting bolt hole size and number, overall valve outline size,

etc.
9. Use existing information: valve product catalog, valve product sample, etc. to select appropriate valve products.

Basis for valve selection:
1. The purpose, operating conditions and operation control mode of the selected valve.
2. The nature of the working medium: working pressure, working temperature, corrosion performance, whether it contains solid particles, whether the medium is toxic, whether it is flammable or explosive medium, the viscosity of the medium, etc.
3. Requirements for valve fluid characteristics: flow resistance, discharge capacity, flow characteristics, sealing level, etc.
4. Requirements for installation dimensions and external dimensions: nominal diameter, connection to the pipeline and connection dimensions, external dimensions or weight restrictions, etc.
5. Additional requirements for the reliability and service life of valve products and the explosion-proof performance of electric devices. (Note when selecting parameters: If the valve is to be used for control purposes, the following additional parameters must be determined: operation method, maximum and minimum flow requirements, pressure drop for normal flow, pressure drop when closed, maximum and minimum inlets of the valve Pressure.)

According to the above-mentioned basis and steps for selecting valves, the internal structure of various types of valves must be understood in detail when selecting valves reasonably and correctly, so that the correct choice can be made on the preferred valve. The ultimate control of the pipeline is the valve. The valve opening and closing parts control the flow mode of the medium in the pipeline. The shape of the valve flow channel makes the valve have a certain flow characteristic. This must be considered when selecting the most suitable valve for the pipeline system.

Installation instructions of double eccentric butterfly valve

Installation instructions of double eccentric butterfly valve:
1. Before installation, you must carefully check whether the valve’s mark and certificate of conformity meet the requirements for use, and clean it after verification.

Uninstalled valves should be stored in a dry room. Valves stored for a long time should be cleaned regularly, dried and coated with anti-rust oil. Blind plates shall be used to protect the flange sealing surface at both ends of the valve.
2. Install according to the flow direction of the medium; horizontal installation is preferred.
3. The connecting bolts of the butterfly valve and the pipeline should be tightened several times in the diagonal direction during installation, and no single piece should be tightened at a time to prevent the flange connection from leaking due to uneven force.
4. When installing the butterfly valve, the butterfly plate should be in the closed position to prevent debris from entering the valve cavity and scratching the sealing surface. When the user wants to test the pressure, be sure to install the flange pair on both ends and test the pressure.
5. When connecting the valve to the pipeline, it is required to use butt-welded steel flanges or special butterfly valve flanges on the pipeline. If flat-welded steel flanges are used, the inner hole of the flange must be the same size as the inner hole of the gasket to ensure the effective sealing surface of the gasket.
6. When the electric butterfly valve leaves the factory, the opening and closing stroke of the control mechanism has been adjusted. In order to prevent the direction from being wrong when the power is turned on, the user must manually move to 1/3 of the closed position before turning on the power for the first time. And check whether the direction of the indicator plate is consistent with the opening direction of the valve.
7. When the valve is in use, if any malfunction is found, stop using it immediately
