electric hard seal butterfly valve vs electric soft seal butterfly valve

June 18, 2021

The difference between electric hard seal butterfly valve and electric soft seal butterfly valve
With the rapid development of many industrial fields in our country, industrial automation has gradually replaced the manual operating system, especially the use of various automatic control valves. With its unique structural

characteristics, electric butterfly valves have become one of the most used valve types. First, the scope of application is also the most extensive. However, in different working conditions, it is particularly important to choose different electric butterfly valves, not to waste costs, and to save resources. From the valve sealing structure, electric butterfly valves can be divided into two categories: soft seal and hard seal. What is the difference between them? Which one has more advantages? How should we distinguish between them?

The difference between the electric hard-sealed butterfly valve and the electric soft-sealed butterfly valve is mainly reflected in the performance and structure. The two seals can complement each other. Both have advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of one side may be the disadvantage of the other. When choosing, you should analyze your own needs, working conditions, etc., and choose the right product.
The main differences are as follows:
1. From the structure: the electric soft sealing butterfly valve is mostly in the middle line structure, and the sealing material is generally fluorine plastic, rubber, resin, etc., which has good corrosion resistance and sealing. Choose different parts and materials, which can be suitable for use. In a variety of media. Electric hard-sealed butterfly valves are mostly single-eccentric, double-eccentric and triple-eccentric butterfly valves. The seals are mostly stainless steel + cemented carbide. Among them, the three-eccentric butterfly valve has no friction transmission between the sealing surfaces, and has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, wear resistance, and good mechanical properties.

2. Temperature resistance: soft seal is used in normal temperature environment, hard seal can be used in low temperature, normal temperature, high temperature and other environments;
3. In terms of pressure: soft seal low pressure-normal pressure, hard seal can also be used in working conditions such as medium and high pressure;
4. Sealing performance: The soft sealing butterfly valve has better sealing performance and can reach zero leakage. The disadvantage is that it is easy to age, wear, and has a short service life. The hard-sealed butterfly valve can maintain good operation under high pressure and high temperature, is relatively resistant to wear, has good mechanical properties, and has a long service life, but the sealing performance is poor!
When the electric butterfly valve is opened and closed, it not only saves effort, but also has low flow resistance. It is convenient and quick to operate, light in weight, small in size, and has a relatively simple structure. Customers can choose a soft-seal or hard-seal butterfly valve reasonably according to economic conditions, the conditions of the medium used, and the on-site environment.

Wafer butterfly valve installation instructions and steps

June 10, 2021

Wafer butterfly valve is one of the most common types of valves in industrial pipelines. The wafer butterfly valve itself has a relatively small structure. You only need to put the butterfly valve in the middle of the flanges at both ends of the pipeline, and use stud bolts to pass through the pipeline flange and the The clip-on butterfly valve is locked to control the fluid medium in the pipeline. Wafer butterfly valve is especially suitable for places with narrow space or short distance between pipelines. When the butterfly valve is in the fully open position, the thickness of the butterfly plate is the only resistance when the medium flows through the valve body. Therefore, the pressure drop generated by the valve is very high. Small, so it has better flow control characteristics.

1. Instructions before installation of wafer butterfly valve:
1. Before installation and operation, use air spray to remove foreign objects on the piping, and clean the inner surface of the piping with clean water.
2. Carefully check whether the valve usage is consistent with its performance specifications; (temperature, pressure)
3. Check the valve channel and sealing surface for debris, and remove it in time;
4. The valve must be installed in time after unpacking, please do not loosen any fastening screws or nuts on the valve at will;
5. Wafer butterfly valves must use special butterfly valve flanges.
6. The electric butterfly valve can be installed on the pipeline at any angle. For the convenience of maintenance, it is recommended not to install it upside down.
7. When installing the butterfly valve flange, it must be ensured that the flange surface and the sealing rubber are aligned, the screws are evenly tightened, and the sealing surface must fit completely; if the screw tightening force is uneven, the rubber bumps will block the butterfly plate, or the top Staying on the butterfly plate causes leakage at the valve stem. To
2. The installation steps of the wafer butterfly valve: The correct installation of the wafer butterfly valve is related to the sealing degree of the butterfly valve, and whether it will leak or not, including the safety in working conditions. The user should understand the installation process.

wafer & lug type butterfly valve (7)

1. As shown, place the valve between the two pre-installed flanges, paying attention to the alignment of the bolt holes.
2. Gently insert four pairs of bolts and nuts into the flange holes, and tighten the nuts slightly to correct the flatness of the flange surface;
3. Fix the flange to the pipeline by spot welding;
4. Remove the valve;
5. Fully weld and fix the flange on the pipeline;
6. Install the valve after the welding port has cooled down. Ensure that the valve has enough space in the flange to prevent the valve from being damaged, and ensure that the valve plate has a certain degree of opening;
7. Correct the valve position and tighten the four pairs of bolts (be careful not to over tighten)
8. Open the valve to ensure that the valve plate can be opened and closed freely, and then slightly open the valve plate;
9. Tighten all nuts in cross balance;
10. Reconfirm that the valve can open and close freely. Note: Confirm that the valve plate does not touch the pipeline.
The installation of the wafer butterfly valve must be laid flat before installation, remember not to bump it at will, after it is drawn to the installation length during installation, in the design of the on-site pipeline, it is not possible without special permission Disassemble the wafer butterfly valve at will, this is what we need to know before installation. At the same time, everyone should know that the wafer butterfly valve can be installed in any position, but after the wafer butterfly valve is installed, the butterfly valve needs to be laid along the line, and a bracket is made for the wafer butterfly valve. Once the bracket is made, it will be used At that time, it is strictly forbidden to remove the bracket.

The difference between internally and externally threaded valves

June 1, 2021

Threaded valve (also called internal threaded valve) generally refers to a valve with internal or external thread on the valve body. It is mainly divided into internal threaded valve and external threaded valve. Corresponding to the pipeline. Usually threaded valves can only be manufactured with small diameters and are used for normal pressure or low pressure projects. If they are not available for high pressure work, they need to be used with welded link valves or flanged valves.

internally threaded valve and externally threaded valve

Common threaded valves are: threaded gate valve, threaded ball valve, threaded globe valve, threaded check valve.
The difference between internal threaded valve and external threaded valve:
From the point of use: Due to price and working flow requirements, most of the valves on the market use internal threaded valves. From the channel: Taking into account the thread connection, the passage of the external thread of the same caliber is smaller than the internal thread, the flow rate is faster, and the flow rate is small.
From the appearance: Most of the internal threads are pipe threads, the external threads are mostly taper threads, and the bite-type external threads are pipe threads.
In terms of pressure resistance: The wall of the valve with external thread of the same material is usually thicker than that of the internal thread (the smaller the passage, the thicker the wall), and the pressure resistance is greater. This is the reason why valves with high pressure ratings are all external threads. To
Sealing form of threaded valve:
1. Direct sealing: internal and external threads directly play a sealing role. In order to ensure that the joints are not leaking, they are often filled with lead oil, thread hemp and PTFE raw material tape; among them, PTFE raw material tape is widely used every day; this material has good corrosion resistance and extremely sealing effect. Good, it is convenient to use and store. When disassembling, it can be completely removed, because it is a non-sticky film, which is much better than lead oil and hemp.
2. Indirect sealing: the tightening force of the thread is transmitted to the gasket between the two planes, so that the gasket plays a sealing role.
Thread standard of threaded valve:
1. International standards ISO228/1, DIN259, are internal and external parallel threads, code G or PF (BSP.F);
2. German standard ISO7/1, DIN2999, BS21, taper external thread, parallel internal thread;
3. British standard ISO7/1, BS21, internal and external tapered thread, code PT or BSP.Tr or Rc;
4. American standard ANSIB21, internal and external tapered thread, code name NPT.

“Cylinder/cone” and “cone/cone”. Two inch seal pipe threads use different thread ring gauges (cylindrical thread ring gauge and tapered thread ring gauge) and thread plug gauge (the position of the datum plane is different, the two datum planes are different Half-tooth apart). Pipe threads that pass the inspection in European countries may be unqualified if they are inspected by countries outside of Europe. In international trade, you must pay attention to this difference, otherwise there may be waste. Before 1994, the ISO standard for sealed pipe threads and their gauges The standard is designed according to the “cone/cone” coordination system. China’s imperial sealed pipe thread products can directly enter the international market. However, the pipe thread products of European countries are in a disadvantageous position. After 2000, ISO’s imperial seal The pipe thread standard and its gauge standard are designed according to the “column/cone” matching question system. Our country’s original inch seal pipe thread products will encounter difficulties when entering the international market. For this reason, China revised the inch seal pipe in 2000 Thread national standard. Change the original one thread standard into two thread standards to remind the designer to pay attention to the difference and correct selection of the two mating threads. Japan still insisted on adopting 1994 when it revised the inch seal pipe thread standard in 1999 The ISO standard a year ago. Therefore, the international inch seal pipe thread market after 2000 is more complicated, and domestic

NPT thread picture

manufacturers must be careful.

Inch sealing pipe thread is a general purpose sealing pipe thread. Sealing filler should be added to the thread pair during use. Its characteristics are economical and the processing accuracy requirements are moderate. Without sealing fillers, it can ensure that the sealed connection thread is dry sealed Pipe thread. There is no dry seal pipe thread in the inch pipe thread system.

Sealed pipe threads have two functions: mechanical connection and sealing; non-sealed pipe threads have only one function of mechanical connection. Therefore, the accuracy of sealed pipe threads is stricter than that of unsealed pipe threads. Some people see unsealed pipe threads The tolerance of the pitch diameter is half of the tolerance of the sealed pipe thread. It is considered that the accuracy of the unsealed pipe thread is higher than that of the sealed pipe thread. This view is incorrect. The sealed pipe thread has requirements for the accuracy of the tooth shape. Its large diameter, The tolerances of the pitch diameter and the minor diameter are the same; the flank angle and pitch error have a greater impact on the sealing performance. The non-sealed pipe thread basically has no requirements for the accuracy of the tooth form. The top diameter tolerance is greater than the pitch diameter tolerance; the bottom diameter There is no tolerance requirement. In addition, some people think that it is possible to use non-sealed cylindrical internal threads and sealed cylindrical external threads to form a fit. This view is also wrong. This is equivalent to relaxing the accuracy requirements of sealed internal threads, and the sealing of pipe threads There may be a problem.

Due to differences in the use of sealed pipe threads, processing accuracy, assembly and testing techniques, the pipe thread standard cannot guarantee that all threaded parts that meet the standard can be sealed. In the imperial sealed pipe thread standard, a unified thread item cannot be proposed. The accuracy requirements of the parameters. These individual thread parameters have a direct impact on the sealing performance. The fundamental way to solve the problem is to formulate their own internal control measures for their specific products. Each industry or company formulates its own internal control measures. The internal control indicators of these parameters are generally confidential. Companies in other industries are not universal, and manufacturers must have a clear understanding of this. Sealing pipe thread standards are not omnipotent, and sealing problems may require manufacturers to pay attention to them. Before 1987, China did not have American and British pipe thread standards. But In production, these two internationally commonly used pipe thread standards cannot be avoided. For this reason, the old mechanical drawing standards once stipulated the marking codes for American and British pipe threads. These thread codes are derived from the Chinese Pinyin alphabet, and have not considered the foreign Whether the standard codes of standard pipe threads are consistent. Since this standard only specifies the thread codes and not the thread parameters, the same thread code may have different thread parameters in different companies or industries. There is no basis for judging who is right and who is wrong when there is a scrap .From 1987 to 1991, China promulgated the British pipe thread standard. From then on, the pipe thread code and marking should comply with the pipe thread standard. The pipe thread code specified in the old mechanical drawing standard should be abolished immediately.

Classification and introduction of pipe thread-(1)

December 7, 2020

Pipe thread is a thread used for connection on the pipe wall to the valves. There are 55-degree unsealed pipe threads and 55-degree sealed pipe threads. Mainly used to connect pipes to make the internal and external threads fit tightly. There are two types which are straight pipes thread and tapered pipes thread.
Common pipe threads mainly include the following types: NPT, PT, G, etc.

NPT thread picture

1) NPT is the abbreviation of National (American) Pipe Thread, which belongs to the American standard 60-degree tapered pipe thread and is used in North America. Refer to GB/T12716-1991 for the national standard.

2) PT (BSPT) is the abbreviation of Pipe Thread. It is a 55-degree sealed tapered pipe thread. It belongs to the Wyeth thread family. It is mostly used in Europe and the Commonwealth countries. It is often used in the water and gas pipe industry. The taper is 1:16. Refer to GB/ T7306-2000. The domestic name is ZG.

3) G is a 55-degree non-sealed pipe thread, which belongs to the Wyeth thread family. Marked as G stands for cylindrical thread. Refer to GB/T7307-2001 for the national standard.

Metric and inch threads

Metric threads are expressed by pitch, while American and British threads are expressed by the number of threads per inch;

Metric thread is 60-degree equilateral profile, inch thread is isosceles 55-degree profile, and American thread is isosceles 60-degree profile;

Use metric units (such as mm) for metric threads, and use imperial units (such as inches) for American and British threads;

“Insiders” usually use “minutes” to refer to the thread size, one inch equals 8 points, 1/4 inch equals 2 points, and so on.

In addition, there are: ISO—Metric Thread Standard 60°; UN—Unified Thread Standard 60°; API—American Petroleum Pipe Thread Standard 60°; W—British Wyeth Thread Standard 55°.

The difference between various threads

NPT, PT, G　 are all pipe threads.

NPT is the abbreviation of National (American) Pipe Thread, which belongs to the American standard 60-degree tapered pipe thread and is used in North America. National standards can be found in GB/T12716-1991

PT is the abbreviation of Pipe Thread. It is a 55-degree sealed tapered pipe thread. It belongs to the Wyeth thread family and is mostly used in Europe and Commonwealth countries. Commonly used in water and gas pipe industry, the taper is 1:16. National standards can be found in GB/T7306-2000

G is a 55-degree non-thread sealed pipe thread, which belongs to the Wyeth thread family. Marked as G stands for cylindrical thread. National standards can be found in GB/T7307-2001

In addition, the 1/4, 1/2, and 1/8 marks in the thread refer to the diameter of the thread size, and the unit is inch. Insiders usually use points to refer to the thread size, one inch equals 8 points, 1/4 inch equals 2 points, and so on. G is the general name of pipe thread (Guan). The division of 55 and 60 degrees is functional, commonly known as pipe circle. That is, the thread is processed by a cylindrical surface.

ZG is commonly known as pipe cone, that is, the thread is processed by a conical surface. The general water pipe joints are like this. The national standard is marked as Rc metric thread to indicate the pitch, and the American thread is 60 degrees. Metric units are used for metric threads, and imperial units are used for American and British threads. Pipe thread is mainly used to connect pipelines. The internal and external threads are closely matched. There are two types of straight pipes and tapered pipes. The nominal diameter refers to the diameter of the connected pipe, obviously the thread diameter is larger than the nominal diameter. 1/4, 1/2, 1/8 are the nominal diameters of inch threads, and the unit is inches.

Inch pipe threads are derived from British Wyeth threads. The combination of Wyeth threaded pipe series and Wyeth thread profiles establishes the basic dimensions of British pipe threads. According to the 1/16 taper relationship, the radial diameter tolerance of Wyeth threads is converted into British sealed tubes. Tolerance of the axial number of threads (there is a certain amount of rounding and adjustment). Then refer to the tolerance value of the inch seal pipe thread to propose the tolerance of the inch unsealed pipe thread (the tolerance changes from one-way distribution to one-way distribution, relax the top Diameter tolerance, let go of the bottom diameter tolerance). The time for the three types of threads is:

In 1841, the British Wyeth thread was proposed, and in 1905, the new Wyeth thread standard (BS 84) was promulgated.

In 1905, the British Sealed Pipe Thread Standard (BS 21) was promulgated.

From 1905 to 1940, Wyeth Thread performed the responsibility of the imperial unsealed pipe. In 1940, the unsealed pipe thread series (BSP series) of Wyeth Thread was proposed; in 1956, the British unsealed pipe thread standard (BS 2779) was issued separately.

European countries and Commonwealth countries first accepted the imperial pipe thread standard. The ISO/TC5/SC5 Pipe Thread Standardization Technical Committee and its secretariat are controlled by European countries, and the imperial pipe thread standard was adopted by the ISO standard. In 1955, the ISO proposed the imperial sealed pipe thread Standard (ISO R 7); In 1961, ISO proposed the standard for imperial unsealed pipe threads (ISO R 228). In 1978, ISO promulgated two official standards for imperial pipe threads (ISO7-1 and ISO228-1). Threads have been generally accepted by countries outside North America and are widely used in international trade.

The inch pipe thread in the ISO standard has been converted to the metric system. The metric method of the inch pipe thread is very simple. Multiply the inch size of the original pipe thread by 25.4 to convert it to the millimeter size. The inch pipe thread size is being eliminated. The so-called use of real pipe thread standards is unrealistic. There is no distinction between real metric pipe threads and fake metric pipe threads.

The gate valve can only be fully opened and fully closed, and cannot be adjusted or throttled. The gate has two sealing surfaces. The two sealing surfaces of the most commonly used mode gate valve form a wedge. The wedge angle varies with valve parameters, usually 50, and 2°52′ when the medium temperature is not high. The gate of the wedge gate valve can be made into a whole, called a rigid gate; it can also be made into a gate that can produce slight deformation to improve its manufacturability and compensate for the deviation of the sealing surface angle during the processing. The plate is called an elastic gate.

Socket gate valve can be divided into wedge gate valve and parallel gate valve according to the sealing surface configuration. The wedge gate valve can be divided into: single gate, double gate and elastic gate; parallel gate valve can be divided into It is single gate type and double gate type. According to the thread position of the valve stem, it can be divided into two types: rising stem gate valve and non-rising stem gate valve.

When the socket gate valve is closed, the sealing surface can only rely on the medium pressure to seal, that is, rely on the medium pressure to press the sealing surface of the gate against the valve seat on the other side to ensure the sealing of the sealing surface, which is self-sealing. Most gate valves use forced sealing, that is, when the valve is closed, the gate must be forced against the seat by external force to ensure the sealing performance of the sealing surface.

The gate of the socket gate valve moves linearly with the valve stem, which is called rising stem gate valve (also called rising stem gate valve). Usually there is a trapezoidal thread on the lifting rod, through the nut on the top of the valve and the guide groove on the valve body, the rotary motion is changed into linear motion, that is, the operating torque is changed into operating thrust.

When the valve is opened, when the lifting height of the gate is equal to 1:1 times the valve diameter, the fluid passage is completely unblocked, but this position cannot be monitored during operation. In actual use, the apex of the valve stem is used as a mark, that is, the position where it cannot be opened, as its fully open position. In order to take into account the locking phenomenon of the temperature change, it is usually at the top position of the opening, and then rewind 1/2-1 turn as the position of the fully open valve. Therefore, the fully open position of the valve is determined by the position of the gate (that is, the stroke).

In some gate valves, the stem nut is set on the gate, and the rotation of the handwheel drives the rotation of the valve stem to lift the gate. This kind of valve is called a rotating stem gate valve or a dark stem gate valve.

advantage:
The fluid resistance is small, and the sealing surface is less brushed and corroded by the medium.
It is easier to open and close.
The flow direction of the medium is not restricted, does not disturb the flow, and does not reduce the pressure.
The shape is simple, the length of the structure is short, the manufacturing process is good, and the scope of application is wide.

Disadvantages:
It is easy to cause erosion and scratches between the sealing surfaces, which makes maintenance difficult.
The overall size is large, opening requires a certain amount of space, and the opening and closing time is long.
The structure is more complicated.

The types of socket gate valves can be divided into wedge gate valves and parallel gate valves according to the sealing surface configuration. Wedge gate valves can be divided into: single gate type, double gate type and elastic gate type; parallel gate type Gate valves can be divided into single gate type and double gate type. Divided according to the thread position of the valve stem, it can be divided into two types: open stem gate valve and dark stem gate valve.

Matters needing attention in installation and maintenance
Handwheels, handles and transmission mechanisms are not allowed to be used for lifting, and collisions are strictly prohibited.
The double gate valve should be installed vertically (that is, the valve stem is in the vertical position and the handwheel is at the top).
The gate valve with bypass valve should be opened before opening (to balance the pressure difference between inlet and outlet and reduce the opening force).
The gate valve with transmission mechanism should be installed according to the product manual.
If the valve is frequently opened and closed, lubricate at least once a month.

Structural features:
The general gate valves used on the market for a long time generally have water leakage or rust. The company introduces the elastic seat seal gate valve produced by European high-tech rubber and valve manufacturing technology, which overcomes the defects of poor sealing and rust of general gate valves. The sealing gate valve uses the compensation effect of the elastic gate plate to produce a small amount of elastic deformation to achieve a good sealing effect. The valve has the obvious advantages of light switch, reliable sealing, good elastic memory and service life. It can be widely used as a regulating and intercepting device on the pipelines of tap water, sewage, construction, petroleum, chemical industry, food, medicine, textile, electric power, shipbuilding, metallurgy, energy system, etc.
