Other Special Valves: Examples include drain valves, pigging valves, etc.

III. Classification by main parameters

1, Classification by nominal diameter The nominal diameter is a rounded integer value used as a convenient reference to indicate the valve size. It is an approximate value rather than an exact measurement. The nominal diameter is marked with the letters “DN” (nominal diameter) followed by a value in millimeters. For example, a valve with a nominal diameter of 50 millimeters is marked as DN50.

Small diameter valves: Valves with DN≤40mm
Medium diameter valves: Valves with DN50-DN300mm
Large diameter valves: Valves with DN350-DN1200mm (4) Extra-large diameter valves: Valves with DN≥1400mm

2, Classification by pressure Nominal pressure refers to the design-specified pressure related to the mechanical strength of the pipeline components. The pressure is marked with “PN” followed by a pressure value (MPa). For example, PN1.0 indicates a valve with a nominal pressure of 1.0 MPa. (1) Vacuum valves: Valves with a working pressure lower than standard atmospheric pressure. (2) Low-pressure valves: Valves with a nominal pressure of PN<1.6 MPa. (3) Medium-pressure valves: Valves with a nominal pressure of PN 2.5–6.4 MPa. (4) High-pressure valves: Valves with a nominal pressure of PN 10.0–80.0 MPa. (5) Ultra-high-pressure valves: Valves with a nominal pressure of PN≥100 MPa.

3, Classification by working temperature of the medium (1) High-temperature valves: Valves with t > 450℃ (2) Medium-temperature valves: Valves with 120℃ ≤ t < 450℃ (3) Normal-temperature valves: Valves with -40℃ ≤ t < 120℃ (4) Low-temperature valves: Valves with -100℃ ≤ t < -40℃ (5) Ultra-low-temperature valves: Valves with t < -100℃

What is the reason for the poor sealing of the valve

February 17, 2022

Where there is a pipeline, the valve is inseparable. The valve is installed on the pipeline and controls the flow of the fluid medium in the pipeline. It is an important control component. But the valve is also a wearable part. A common valve loss in our life is that the valve is not tightly sealed, resulting in leakage. So what is the reason for the poor

marine valve seat

sealing of the valve?
The leakage at the packing of the valve is a part of the valve that is prone to leakage failures. The valve is not tightly sealed, and the reasons are probably as follows.
1. Sealing auxiliary structure
Under the change of temperature or sealing force, the structure of the sealing pair will change. And this change will affect and change the force between the sealing pair, so that the performance of the valve sealing is reduced. 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 is increased.
2. Specific pressure of 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 high specific pressure will cause valve damage, but too low specific pressure will cause valve leakage. Therefore, we need to fully consider the appropriateness of the specific pressure when designing
3. Physical properties of the medium
The physical properties of the medium also affect the valve sealing performance. These physical properties include temperature, viscosity, and hydrophilicity of the surface, among others. The temperature change not only affects the slackness of the sealing pair and the change of the size of the parts, but also has an inseparable relationship with the viscosity of the gas. Gas viscosity increases or decreases with increasing or decreasing temperature. Therefore, in order to reduce the influence of temperature on the sealing performance of the valve, when designing the sealing pair, we should design it as 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 higher the viscosity, the lower the permeability of the fluid. The hydrophilicity of the surface means that when there is a film on the metal surface, the film should be removed. Because of this very thin oil film, it will destroy the hydrophilicity of the surface, resulting in blockage of fluid channels.
4. The quality of the sealing pair
The quality of the sealing pair mainly means that we must check the selection, matching and manufacturing accuracy of materials. For example, the valve disc fits well with the valve seat sealing surface, which can improve the sealing performance. The characteristic of many circumferential waviness is that its labyrinth sealing performance is good.

Evolution of the Sealing Surface of the Triple Eccentric Butterfly Valve

December 9, 2021

The triple eccentric butterfly valve is one of the butterfly valves. Its unique sealing form and sealing structure are continuously improved and upgraded through the product to obtain a better sealing effect. There have been great reforms in high temperature and corrosion resistance. Let’s take a look at its product upgrade process.

triple offset butterfly valve-double flange- (5)

The butterfly valve’s single eccentric soft-seal butterfly valve is the first to be favored by the market. Because of the design of the soft seal, the product has a good sealing effect. Single eccentricity means that the sealing section of the valve seat is eccentric relative to the center of rotation of the valve stem, so that the sealing surface of the butterfly plate gradually separates from the sealing surface of the valve seat during the opening process. When the butterfly plate rotates to 20-25, the sealing surface of the butterfly plate is completely separated from the sealing surface of the valve seat, so that the relative mechanical wear and extrusion between the two sealing surfaces of the butterfly valve is greatly reduced during the opening process, and the sealing performance of the butterfly valve is improved. This design mainly relies on the elastic deformation of the squeezing between the butterfly plate and the valve seat to ensure the sealing of the butterfly valve.
In order to meet the needs of the site, to achieve the effect that the sealing surface of the butterfly plate is separated from the sealing surface of the valve seat faster than the single eccentric structure, the double eccentric sealing butterfly valve is upgraded on the basis of the single eccentric butterfly valve. The lines are relatively offset, so that the butterfly valve forms a cam effect during the opening process. When the butterfly plate rotates to 8°~12°, the two sealing surfaces can be completely separated. The biggest benefit of this structural design is to further reduce the mechanical wear and extrusion deformation between the two sealing surfaces, which improves the sealing performance of the butterfly valve and increases the lifespan.
The triple eccentric sealing butterfly valve is once again upgraded on the basis of the double eccentric butterfly valve. The center line of the seat sealing surface and the valve center line form an angular eccentricity, and a third eccentricity appears. In this way, during the opening process, the sealing surface of the butterfly plate can be separated from the sealing surface of the valve seat immediately, and will contact and compress the sealing surface of the valve seat at the moment of closing. This unique eccentric design makes full use of the benefits of the cam, so that the mechanical friction and scratches between the two sealing surfaces of the butterfly valve seal pair can be completely eliminated when opening and closing, so that the possibility of wear and leakage is eliminated. The product changes the extrusion seal into a torque seal. By adjusting the external driving torque, the adjustment of the seal specific pressure is realized, so that the sealing performance and service life of the triple eccentric structure sealing butterfly valve are greatly improved. At the same time, while ensuring a tight seal, it also improves the characteristics of the sealing sub-materials of the single-eccentric soft-seal butterfly valve and the double-eccentric soft-seal butterfly valve that cannot withstand high temperature and wear.
Now, the triple eccentric sealing butterfly valve is widely used as the best device to cut off or adjust the flow of the medium pipeline in the urban construction, petrochemical, metallurgy, electric power and other industries. Its structure itself is the most ideal opening and closing part in pipelines, and it is the development direction of today’s pipeline opening and closing parts.

factors affecting the sealing performance of resilient butterfly valve seat

October 21, 2021

Rubber butterfly valve is an important part of regulating flow medium, and tight sealing is the most important quality of the product. The sealing performance of rubber butterfly valves is affected by many factors, and the most important influence is still closely related to the sealing surface. Today we will focus on three factors. Let’s take a

Wafer type butterfly valve with worm gear

look at the main factors that affect the sealing performance of rubber butterfly valves:

1. Quality of the sealing surface/valve seat
First of all, we must make it clear that the sealing surface refers to the part where the valve seat and the disc are in contact with each other for medium opening and closing control, and only which part of the valve seat and the disc are in contact instead of the entire sealing pair. The quality of the sealing surface is mainly related to the quality of the sealing material. The quality of the sealing material should be produced by the brand manufacturer and qualified in process. In addition, the choice of sealing material should be in line with the medium. For example, rubber butterfly valves cannot be used for highly corrosive media.

2. Width of sealing surface/valve seat
The width of the sealing surface mainly affects the movement resistance of the fluid. The larger the sealing surface, the lower the resistance, and the narrower the resistance is relatively large. Therefore, the increase in the width of the sealing surface can reduce the erosion and wear of the sealing surface by the fluid. At the same time, because the increase in the width of the sealing surface increases the length of the leakage stroke proportionally, the leakage can be reduced proportionally. However, the width of the sealing surface must not be excessively increased, because an increase in the width of the sealing surface, under the same sealing force, the reduction of the specific pressure of the seal will increase the possibility of leakage.

3. The pressure difference between before and after the valve
The specific pressure on the sealing surface is caused by the pressure difference between the front and rear of the valve and the applied sealing force, which refers to the pressure acting on a unit area of the sealing surface. The specific pressure directly affects the sealing performance, reliability and service life of the rubber butterfly valve. When the specific pressure on the sealing surface is small and the surface roughness is low, the leakage increases rapidly. When the specific pressure on the sealing surface is large, the effect of surface roughness on the leakage is significantly reduced.

In addition, the sealing performance of the rubber butterfly valve is related to the sealing surface material of the butterfly valve and its processing state, the nature of the medium, the existence of the sealing oil film, the rigidity and structural characteristics of the closing part, and so on. For more information, please call Tanghai for inquiries, and we will have professionals to answer your questions about butterfly valves.

Commonly Used Seat Materials for Butterfly Valve

August 30, 2021

The valve seat is a detachable part inside the valve. Its main function is to support the valve core to be fully closed or fully closed, and to form a sealing pair. Under normal circumstances, the diameter of the valve seat is the size of the valve. The butterfly valve seat is made of a wide range of materials, but the commonly used materials include soft-seal EPDM, nitrile rubber (NBR), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and metal hard-seal hard alloy materials. kind. Let’s introduce them one by one below.

wafer type butterfly valve, EPDM seat (10)

1. EPDM: Compared with other general-purpose rubbers, EPDM has great advantages.
①The cost performance is very high. Among the commonly used rubbers, EPDM has the lightest raw rubber density and can be filled in a large amount, reducing the cost of the rubber.
②EPDM material is resistant to aging, sun exposure, heat resistance, moisture resistance, and radiation resistance, and is suitable for weak acid and weak alkali media. Good insulation properties.
③The applicable temperature range can be as low as -40℃–60℃, and it can be used for a long time under the temperature condition of 130℃.
2. Nitrile rubber (NBR): oil resistance, heat resistance, abrasion resistance and good water resistance, air tightness and excellent bonding properties. It is widely used in petroleum pipelines. The disadvantage is that it is not resistant to low temperature, ozone, poor insulation performance, and general elasticity.
3. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE): A fluoroplastic, this material has strong resistance to acids, alkalis, and various organic solvents. At the same time, the material is resistant to high temperatures and can be used continuously at 260°C, and the maximum use temperature can reach 290-320°C. The emergence of PTFE has successfully solved many problems in the chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical and other industries.

4. Metal hard seal (hard alloy): The material of the metal hard seal valve seat has very good high temperature and high pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and other characteristics, which makes up for the defects of soft seal material that is not resistant to high temperature and high pressure. However, the hard seal material has high requirements on the processing technology. The only disadvantage of the metal hard seal valve seat is that the sealing performance is poor, and leakage will occur after a long time of operation.

Code of valve sealing or lining material

September 16, 2020

The sealing surface of the valve mainly refers to the contact surface of the valve disc and the valve seat. The sealing

marine valve seat

element plays the role of cutting off and connecting, adjusting and distributing, separating and mixing the medium on the valve passage, and improving the quality and service life of the valve sealing surface. Appropriate sealing surface materials and reasonable sealing structure must be selected. Valve sealing ring materials are mostly mixed materials, and seals of different components have different effects. When selecting valves, customers should choose corresponding seals according to the actual conditions of the medium, temperature and pressure.

code	sealing material/lining material
T	Copper alloy
X	Rubber
N	Nylon plastic
F	Fluoroplastic
B	Babbitt alloy
H	Alloy steel
D	Nitrided steel
Y	Hard alloy
J	Lining
Q	Lead lining
C	Enamel
P	Boronized steel

Note:

1. The code of the valve seat sealing material directly processed by the valve body is coded by “W”.
2. When the sealing materials of the valve seat and the valve disc (valve plate) are different, it is indicated by the code of low hardness material (except for diaphragm valves).
