The difference between API, DIN valve and GB valve

June 2, 2021

The difference between American standard valve, German standard valve and national standard valve
(American Standard, German Standard, National Standard) The difference between valves:
First of all, it can be distinguished from the standard codes of various countries: GB is the national standard of China, the American standard (ANSI), and the German standard (DIN). Secondly, it can be distinguished from the model. The valve model of the national standard is named according to the pinyin letter of the valve category. For example, the safety valve is A Butterfly valve D Diaphragm valve G Check valve H Stop valve J Throttle valve L Sewage valve P Ball valve Q Trap valve S Gate valve Z and so on. ,

There are no special specifications between American standard valves, German standard valves, and national standard valves. It is nothing more than the difference between production standards and pressure levels. The material of the valve body and internal parts are easy to say, it is nothing but cast iron, cast steel, stainless steel, etc. Taking the American standard as an example, the pressure level of the American standard ranges from 125LB to 2500LB (or 200PSI to 6000PSI), and the main standard is API, ANSI, commonly referred to as API, and ANSI valves are American standard valves; German standard valve pressures are usually PN10 to PN320. DIN standard; if it is a flanged valve, the corresponding flange standard must be adopted. The world’s major valve standards are also the American Standard Petroleum Institute API standard, the American national standard ANSI, the German standard DIN, the Japanese standard JIS, the national standard GB, the European standard EN, and the British standard BS. ,

Simply put, American standard valves are valves designed, manufactured, produced, and tested according to American standards. German standard valves are valves designed, manufactured, produced and tested according to German standards. The national standard valve is a valve designed, manufactured, produced and tested according to our country’s standards. The differences between the three are roughly as follows: 1. The flange standards are different; 2. The structural length is different; 3. The inspection requirements are different.

Valve material and valve standards-(6)-gasket material

September 3, 2020

Valve Gasket material:
The gasket is used to fill all the unevenness between the two joint surfaces (such as the sealing surface between the valve body and the bonnet) to prevent the medium from leaking between the joint surfaces.

lug type butterfly valve, ductile iron, center lined,

1. Requirements for gaskets: The gasket material has a certain degree of elasticity, plasticity and sufficient strength at working temperature to ensure sealing. At the same time, it must have good corrosion resistance.

2. Types and selection of gasket materials: gaskets are divided into two types: soft and hard. The soft is generally non-metallic materials, such as cardboard, rubber, asbestos rubber sheet, and PTFE. Hardness is generally metal material or metal-coated asbestos, metal and asbestos entangled, etc.

There are many forms of gaskets, including flat, round, oval, tooth-shaped, lens-shaped and other special shapes.
Metal gaskets are generally made of 08, 10, 20 high-quality carbon steel and 1Cr13, 1Cr18Ni9 stainless steel, which require high machining accuracy and surface finish, and are suitable for high temperature and high pressure valves.
Non-metallic gasket materials generally have good plasticity and can be sealed with less pressure, which is suitable for low temperature and low pressure valves.
The gasket material can be selected according to Table 5-4.

Valve material and valve standards-(4)-fastener material

September 3, 2020

Fastener materials: Fasteners mainly include bolts, studs and nuts. The fastener directly bears the pressure on the

bolts and nuts for butterfly valve

valve, which plays a key role in preventing the outflow of the medium. Therefore, the selected material must ensure sufficient strength and impact toughness at the operating temperature.

When selecting fastener materials according to medium pressure and temperature, the following table can be selected:

Name	Pn(Mpa)	medium temp /°C
		300	350	400	425	450	530
bolt Stud bolt	1.6-2.5	Q235(A3)		35		30CrMoA	–
	4.0-10.0	35				35CrMoA	25Cr2MoVA
	16.0-20.0	30CrMoA		35CrMoA			25Cr2MoVA
nut	1.6-2.5	Q235(A3)		30		35
	4.0-10.0	30				35	35CrMoA
	16.0-20.0	35					35CrMoA

Heat treatment must be carried out when selecting alloy steel materials. When there are special corrosion resistance requirements for fasteners, stainless acid-resistant steels such as Cr17Ni2, 2Cr13, 1Cr18Ni9 can be selected.

Valve material and valve standards-(3)-sealing material

August 28, 2020

Section 2: Sealing surface material
The sealing surface is the most critical working surface of the valve. The quality of the sealing surface is related to the service life of the valve. Generally, the sealing surface material considers factors such as corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, erosion resistance, and oxidation resistance. Generally, sealing surface materials are divided into two categories:
1. Soft materials

soft sealing marine valve, rubber sealing, valve seat parts

1. Rubber (including nitrile rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, fluorine rubber, etc.)
2. Plastics (polytetrafluoroethylene, nylon, etc.)
2. Hard sealing material
1. Copper alloy (for low pressure valve)
2. Chrome stainless steel (used for ordinary high and medium pressure valves)
3. Stellite alloy (used for high temperature and high pressure valves and strong corrosion valves)
4. Nickel-based alloy (used for corrosive media)

Section 3: Valve Stem Material
During the opening and closing of the valve, the valve stem bears tensile, compressive and torsional forces, and is in direct contact with the medium. At the same time, there is relative frictional movement with the packing. Therefore, the valve stem material must ensure sufficient strength at the specified temperature And impact toughness, a certain degree of corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance, and good manufacturability. Commonly used valve stem materials are as follows:
1. Carbon steel: For water with low temperature and medium temperature not exceeding 300°C, when steam

18 buttefly-valve-stem-shaft-parts-1

medium, A5 ordinary carbon steel is generally selected (now Q275, A3 is Q235)
2. Alloy steel: For medium pressure and high pressure, when the medium temperature does not exceed 450°C, 40Cr (chromium steel) is generally used when the medium temperature does not exceed 450°C. Water, the medium temperature does not exceed 540°C For steam and other media, 38CrMoAlA nitriding steel can be selected; for high-pressure steam media with a medium temperature not exceeding 570°C, 25Cr2MoVA chromium molybdenum vanadium steel is generally selected.
3. Stainless and acid-resistant steel: used for medium and high pressure, non-corrosive and weakly corrosive media with a medium temperature not exceeding 450°C. 1Cr13, 2Cr13, 3Cr13 chromium stainless steel can be selected; when used in corrosive media, it can be used Use Cr17Ni2, 1Cr18Ni9Ti, Cr18Ni12Mo2Ti, Cr18Ni12Mo3Ti and other stainless acid-resistant steels and PH15-7Mo precipitation hardening steels.
4. Heat-resistant steel: 4Cr10Si2Mo martensitic heat-resistant steel and 4Cr14Ni14W2Mo austenitic heat-resistant steel can be used for high-temperature valves whose medium temperature does not exceed 600°C.

Section 4: Valve Stem Nut Material
The stem nut directly bears the axial force of the stem during the opening and closing of the valve, so it must have a certain strength. At the same time, it and the valve stem are threaded transmission, which requires a small coefficient of friction, no rust and avoid seizure. The main materials are as follows:
1. Copper alloy: Copper alloy has a small friction coefficient and does not rust. It is one of the commonly used materials. For low pressure valves with Pg<1.6Mpa, ZHMn58-2-2 cast brass can be used.
2. Steel: When the working conditions do not allow the use of copper alloys, high-quality carbon steels such as 35, 40, 2Cr13, 1Cr18Ni9, Cr17Ni2 and other stainless and acid-resistant steels can be selected. The working conditions do not allow the following:
For electric valves, stem nuts with gua-shaped clutches require heat treatment to obtain high hardness or surface hardness.
When the working medium or the surrounding environment is not suitable for copper alloys, such as ammonia medium that is corrosive to copper.
When selecting steel stem nuts, pay special attention to thread seizure.
