Troubleshoot reasons for pneumatic wafer butterfly valves

December 16, 2021

The pneumatic wafer butterfly valve has a beautiful appearance and is matched with a pneumatic actuator. The valve plate and the valve shaft can be connected without a pin, and the medium is completely isolated from the valve shaft and valve body, which is simple and easy to maintain. Pneumatic wafer butterfly valves are widely used in industrial automation systems in food, environmental protection, light industry, petroleum, papermaking, chemical, electric power and other industries. Pneumatic wafer butterfly valves are divided into soft seal and hard seal, and the two products also have their own different characteristics.

The design features of the high-quality pneumatic wafer butterfly valve include: the valve body and end cover adopt dewaxing precision casting; the valve stem has an explosion-proof design; the standard air source interface can be directly connected to the solenoid valve; the cylinder inner wall anode hardening does not require secondary lubrication ; Switch position +/-5° stroke adjustment, easy to operate; 360°C any angle installation, etc. Its performance specifications are: nominal pressure: 1.0MPa-2.5MPa, nominal passage: DN32~DN600, applicable temperature: -20~+120 ℃. The hard seal will be higher. The soft-seal pneumatic wafer butterfly valve is used in normal temperature environment. The hard-sealed and soft-sealed pneumatic wafer butterfly valve can be used in low temperature, normal temperature, high temperature and other environments.
In use, we sometimes encounter the phenomenon that the pneumatic wafer butterfly valve does not work. Is it improper use or product quality? How do we troubleshoot the cause? Here is a reference. Pneumatic wafer butterfly valves are mainly composed of pneumatic actuators and butterfly valves. Pneumatic accessories are installed according to user requirements. Pneumatic accessories for on-off type pneumatic butterfly valves include solenoid valves and limit switches, adjustable type with positioners and filter decompression Device. Therefore, when the pneumatic wafer butterfly valve fails, it is necessary to investigate the cause one by one from each component.
The main points are as follows:
1. Pneumatic actuator:
(1) There is no air source and the air source is not opened (2) The air source pressure is insufficient (3) The cylinder piston is aging and fractured (4) The rack of the piston gear is worn (5) The single-acting actuator is rusted due to the long-term use of the spring;
2. Valve body:
(1) The valve stem is twisted or broken (2) The valve stem is rusted due to internal leakage of the medium (3) The medium has impurities and the valve plate and valve seat are stuck
3. Solenoid valve:
(1) If the terminal is loose or falling off, no electricity (2) The coil is burnt out (3) The solenoid valve is easy to get stuck when there are impurities or too little lubricating oil (4) Air leakage, the solenoid valve leaks and the air source pressure is insufficient;
4. Positioner:
(1) The air source is not turned on (2) In winter, the air source contains water and freezes causing the air duct and filter to be blocked (3) The regulator fails and the regulating mesh diaphragm is damaged;

Advantages and Features of Center-lined Wafer Butterfly Valve

December 15, 2021

The centerline wafer butterfly valve is a kind of centerline butterfly valve, which has two characteristics of wafer connection and centerline sealing. Today, the advantages and characteristics of the centerline wafer butterfly valve are based on the flange butterfly valve. details as follows:

Wafer type butterfly valve with worm gear

Pressure Level
The centerline wafer butterfly valve generally does not have a high pressure, and cannot be made with a higher pressure level like the flange butterfly valve. The nominal pressure of flanged butterfly valves is higher than that of wafer butterfly valves.

Install
During installation, the centerline wafer butterfly valve is generally installed with a matching flange, and the flange butterfly valve does not need to be equipped separately. The valve bolt length of the wafer butterfly valve will be longer, so the construction accuracy is higher. Because if the flanges on both sides are misaligned, the bolts will be subjected to greater shearing force, and the valve is prone to leakage.

Repair and maintenance
The centerline wafer butterfly valve generally cannot be used in the end of the pipeline and the downstream occasions that need to be disassembled, because when the downstream flange is removed, the wafer valve will fall. In this case, another short section must be made for disassembly. The flanged butterfly valve does not have the above problems, but the cost will be relatively high. The wafer butterfly valve has no flanges at both ends of the valve body, only a few guide bolt holes, and the valve is connected with the flange at the end by a set of bolts/nuts. In contrast, disassembly is more convenient, and the valve cost is lower, but the disadvantage is that one sealing surface has a problem, and both sealing surfaces have to be disassembled.
Due to installation reasons, if you encounter a situation where you need to install a blind plate, this situation is actually quite often encountered. In this situation, the midline wafer butterfly valve can only be installed with transitional pipe sections or replaced with other types of valves. It is impossible to disassemble the blind plate on the center line of the clamp butterfly valve. It is necessary to add a pair of flanges to the straight pipe section behind the valve after stopping, and at the same time add the figure 8 blind plate to avoid insufficient position when the blind plate is added in the future.

Better tightness
The centerline wafer butterfly valve has a poorer sealing effect than the flange butterfly valve. For example, the transportation of slurry media causes blockage. The advantage of the center line to clamp butterfly valve is that it is easy to disassemble and assemble, but it will leak if it is not installed well. Flanged butterfly valves are expensive. The valve is equipped with flanges. The flanges on both ends of the valve are connected to the pipe flanges with bolts. The sealing performance is better than that of the clamp butterfly valve. Flange butterfly valves are easier to make eccentricity, and multiple eccentricities can achieve excellent sealing performance, but it is not easy to achieve a wafer butterfly valve. If the centerline wafer butterfly valve is a soft sealing butterfly valve, the rubber liner damage cannot be repaired on site, but the flange type can be repaired.

In summary, the centerline wafer butterfly valve has low cost and strong adaptability to installation space. The disadvantage is that the sealing performance is not as good as the eccentric butterfly valve and the flange butterfly valve, and the disassembly and maintenance will be slightly more troublesome than the flange butterfly valve. Under the condition that the medium pressure is not particularly high and the working conditions are ordinary, the centerline wafer butterfly valve is still a good choice from the comprehensive examination of cost, sealing performance, installation and maintenance.

Precautions for installation of pinless wafer butterfly valve

December 14, 2021

The pinless wafer butterfly valve contains two connection methods, one is pinless and the other is wafer. A pinless butterfly valve is a pinless butterfly valve that does not use a pin to penetrate the connection between the valve plate and the valve stem. For comparison of pin butterfly valves and pinless butterfly valves, please refer to valve knowledge. The wafer butterfly valve is connected between two pipe flanges with stud bolts, without flanges.

JIS 10K-wafer butterfly valve-backup seat (4)

Commonly used pinless butterfly valves include wafer type butterfly valves and flange type butterfly valves, so flange type butterfly valves are often compared with wafer type butterfly valves. The biggest difference between the two is the connection method during installation. Now let’s take a look at what to pay attention to when installing the pinless wafer butterfly valve.
1. During installation, the valve disc should be stopped in the closed position.
2. The opening position should be determined according to the rotation angle of the butterfly plate.
3. For the butterfly valve with bypass valve, the bypass valve should be opened before opening.
4. The installation should be carried out according to the installation instructions of the manufacturer, and the heavy-weight butterfly valve should be installed with a firm foundation.
5. The butterfly plate of the pinless 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 axis, and the rotation angle is between 0-90°. When the rotation reaches 90°, the valve is fully open.
6. If the butterfly valve is required to be used as a flow control, the main thing is to select the size and type of the valve correctly. The structure principle of the butterfly valve is especially suitable for making large-diameter valves. Butterfly valves are not only widely used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, and water treatment, but also used in cooling water systems of thermal power stations.
The price of the pinless wafer butterfly valve is roughly 2/3 of that of the pinless flange butterfly valve, which is relatively cheap, but the sealing performance is not as good as that of the flange butterfly valve. When choosing imported valves, use wafer butterfly valves as much as possible because they are cheap and light in weight. One of its limitations is that there are no flanges at both ends of the valve body, and there are only a few guide bolt holes. The valve is connected to the end flange with a set of bolts/nuts. Compared with the flanged butterfly valve, it is much more convenient to disassemble, and the valve cost is lower, but the disadvantage is that one sealing surface has a problem, and both sealing surfaces have to be disassembled. The paired flanges of the clip-on type are butt welded and cannot be installed by socket welding.
The pinless wafer butterfly valve also has its own advantages, that is, it saves space, and try to use wafer butterfly valves when the piping position is tight. The biggest difference between the pinless wafer butterfly valve and the flangeless butterfly valve is that the wafer butterfly valve saves a pair of flanges, so the cost is relatively cheap, but it is not conducive to the disassembly and assembly of maintenance, etc., where permitted, priority Choose a wafer butterfly valve. Wafer butterfly valves are generally used in industrial pipelines with relatively low pressure and relatively safe transport media.

What kind of centerline wafer butterfly valve is a high-quality butterfly valve

November 5, 2021

There are many types of butterfly valves. Today we mainly want to discuss the centerline wafer butterfly valve, which is our more common type of butterfly valve. It has a wide range of applications, and currently there are many

Wafer type butterfly valve with worm gear

manufacturers of soft-seal wafer type butterfly valves. However, the quality and appearance of these butterfly valve products are still very different. How do we judge the quality of butterfly valves when we purchase butterfly valves? What are the characteristics and elements of a good centerline wafer butterfly valve? Tanghai Valve also summarized some of the feedback from many customers on-site and shared it with all users and friends.

1. Many of the centerline wafer butterfly valves are soft-sealed butterfly valves, lined with fluorine or rubber. Therefore, the quality of the material of the sealing pair requires high standards. Such as rubber, high-quality rubber can be long-lasting and elastic to play a good sealing role. However, the low-quality rubber hardened in a short time, and the valve naturally stuck or leaked internally. Therefore, in many cases, the final quality of the product is determined by details that are easily overlooked. For another example, the shaft hole on the valve stem and the valve body must have bushings, and the function of the bushing is to limit the bending deformation of the valve stem under pressure. The sealing ring between the valve stem and the valve stem shaft hole should be designed reasonably to ensure that the medium will not penetrate between the valve stem and the valve stem shaft hole. The bushing and sealing ring on the valve stem should not increase the torque too much.
2. Small torque, long service life, and good adjustment performance are all evaluation criteria.
3. Good airtightness and guaranteed leakage level!

To achieve good quality of the centerline wafer butterfly valve, butterfly valve manufacturers need to strictly control from several aspects. One is from the structure, such as bearings, valve stems, actuator connections, etc. are well-made. The design between the valve seat and the valve body can be more rationalized. Second, the processing technology is brave to innovate on the basis of maturity and adapt to more working conditions. Material selection should be scientifically optimized to ensure that the performance of the material meets the characteristics of the medium. In the selection, professional manufacturers should also provide customers with mature application experience to assist in purchasing. Actively collect feedback from users on product quality and respond to market demand in a timely manner.
The centerline wafer butterfly valve is very popular in the market, but any product has its own weaknesses. The weak point of the centerline pair clip-on butterfly valve is that when it is opened and closed, the unavoidable valve plate and valve wall are scratched and worn, which affects the service life. Therefore, Tanghai Valve is also actively launching a new double eccentric soft sealing butterfly valve. Due to the ingenious design of eccentricity, the valve plate can quickly leave the valve wall when it is opened, the sealing surface is protected, and the service life is longer. Coupled with a soft seal, the sealing performance is better. Tanghai’s double eccentric soft-seal butterfly valve also received very good market response soon after its launch. You are welcome to inquire.

Comparison of the characteristics of wafer butterfly valves and flanged butterfly valves

November 4, 2021

To find out what is the difference between the wafer butterfly valve and the flange butterfly valve, let’s take a look at the comparison of some characteristics of the wafer butterfly valve and the flange butterfly valve.

Wafer type butterfly valve with worm gear

The biggest difference is of course that the flanged butterfly valve has two more flanges, and the wafer type has two fewer flanges. Of course, the price is cheaper, and the price is about 2/3 of the flange. Flange butterfly valves are more reliable than wafer butterfly valves. Wafer butterfly valves are not as convenient as flanged butterfly valves in installation, because they need to be equipped with flanges, which can easily leak if they are not installed well.

From the perspective of specific working conditions, when selecting imported valves, use wafer-type butterfly valves as much as possible, which are light in weight and easy to replace. However, the length of the bolts of the wafer butterfly valve is longer, and the construction accuracy is higher. If the flanges on both sides are not aligned, the bolts will be subjected to greater pressure and the valve is prone to leakage. Under high temperature conditions, the bolts of the wafer butterfly valve may cause leakage after expansion, so if it is under high temperature conditions, the wafer butterfly valve is not suitable for large pipe diameters. In addition, wafer butterfly valves generally cannot be used at the end of the pipeline and downstream where it needs to be disassembled, because when the downstream flange is disassembled, the wafer valve will fall off. In this case, a short section must be made separately. For disassembly. The wafer butterfly valve has no flanges at both ends of the valve body, only a few guide bolt holes, and the valve is

connected with the flanges at both ends by a set of bolts/nuts. Compared with flanged butterfly valves, it is easier to disassemble. The cost of the valve is lower, but the disadvantage is that one sealing surface has a problem, and both sealing surfaces have to be disassembled. Regarding the blue butterfly valve, the above problem does not exist, and of course it has to pay a higher cost. But the cost will be higher.

The flange type butterfly valve has flanges at both ends of the valve body, which are connected with pipe flanges. The seal is relatively more reliable.
In addition to selecting the appropriate wafer butterfly valve or flange butterfly valve, attention should also be paid to the installation and maintenance of the butterfly valve. Because this is actually a place that can affect the selection of the valve outside of the specific purpose. Let’s take a look at the specific requirements below:
1. The valve disc stops at the closed position during installation.
2. Determine the opening position according to the rotation angle of the butterfly plate.
3. For the butterfly valve with bypass valve, the bypass valve should be opened before opening.
4. Ask professionals to install according to the manufacturer’s instructions, especially the heavy butterfly valve should be fixed.
5. The butterfly plate of the 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 axis, and the rotation angle is between 0° and 90°. When rotated to 90°, the butterfly valve is fully open.
The butterfly valve is used as a flow control, the main thing is to choose the size and type of the valve when purchasing. Butterfly valves are not only widely used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, and water treatment, but also used in cooling water systems of thermal power stations.

Characteristics of the centerline wafer butterfly valve

October 14, 2021

The centerline wafer butterfly valve is one of the commonly used butterfly valves. It is named because of the structure of the stem axis, the center of the butterfly plate and the center of the body at the same position. The structure of the centerline butterfly valve is very simple, and the installation and maintenance are also very

Wafer type butterfly valve with worm gear

convenient. As a component that controls the on-off and flow rate of the pipeline system, the centerline clamp valve is widely used in pipeline systems in the fields of petroleum, chemical industry, hydropower station, municipal construction, water supply and drainage.
The sealing form of the centerline wafer butterfly valve is generally a soft seal, and the sealing material is rubber or polytetrafluoroethylene, so the centerline wafer butterfly valve is usually a soft sealing butterfly valve. Therefore, the advantages of this type of valve are that the seal can be replaced, the sealing performance is excellent and reliable, zero leakage can be achieved, and two-way sealing can be achieved. . However, due to the limitation of its own structural characteristics, the centerline wafer butterfly valve also has some shortcomings. Because the butterfly plate and valve seat of the valve are always in a state of squeezing and scratching, the resistance distance is large, and the wear on the butterfly plate and valve seat is very large, so In order to overcome the phenomenon of squeezing and scratching and ensure the sealing performance of the valve, the valve seat of the centerline butterfly valve adopts elastic materials such as rubber or polytetrafluoroethylene to ensure the sealing performance of the valve. However, materials such as banana and polytetrafluoroethylene are subject to temperature restrictions in use. Therefore, the disadvantage of the centerline butterfly valve is that it is not resistant to high temperatures.
The centerline wafer butterfly valve is not suitable for high temperature and high pressure working environment, has poor wear resistance and short service life. These shortcomings make the scope of application of the valve have certain limitations. In order to overcome this problem, there is now a triple eccentric metal hard seal butterfly valve, which is different from the centerline wafer butterfly valve. The stem axis of the triple eccentric butterfly valve deviates from the center of the butterfly plate and the center of the body at the same time, and the rotation axis of the valve seat and the axis of the valve body channel There is a certain angle. Compared with the centerline butterfly valve, the triple eccentric butterfly valve is more resistant to high temperature, and also has good sealing performance and longer service life.
The valve body and the valve seat are connected components, and the sealing surface layer of the valve seat is welded with temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy materials. The multi-layer soft laminated sealing ring is fixed on the valve plate. Compared with the traditional butterfly valve, this butterfly valve has high temperature resistance, light operation, no friction when opening and closing, and when closing, the torque of the transmission mechanism increases to compensate for the sealing, which improves the butterfly valve. The advantages of sealing performance and extended service life.

Introduction to the Features of Lever Wafer Butterfly Valve

October 9, 2021

Lever or Handle wafer butterfly valve is a kind of butterfly valve, usually with soft seal, which consists of a sealing surface made of rubber or fluoroplastic as a sealing material and a valve plate and stem made of carbon steel or

wafer-type-butterfly-valve-with-handle-13

stainless steel. Due to the limitation of the sealing surface material, the handle wafer butterfly valve is only suitable for water, gas, oil and other fluid media with a temperature of ≤80～120℃. The application fields include chemical industry, petroleum, electric power, textile, papermaking, construction water supply and drainage, etc. It is used for on-off control of normal temperature and pressure pipeline media on pipelines that transport various corrosive and non-corrosive fluid media in the engineering system, and can also be used for flow adjustment.
Handle wafer butterfly valves are generally only suitable for small-diameter valves, that is, valves with a diameter less than or equal to DN200mm. Because the small-diameter torque is relatively small, the opening and closing of the valve can be directly controlled by hand. The caliber is greater than 200mm, and according to the specific size of the caliber, it needs to be equipped with a turbine head, a pneumatic device or an electric device.
Because the handle wafer butterfly valve is a soft sealing butterfly valve, when the valve is installed and used, the valve must be opened at an angle, which is generally between 5°-10°. Do not allow the sealing surface rubber to be squeezed for a long time. state.
The main features of the handle wafer butterfly valve are:
1. The design structure is simple and unique, small in size, light in weight, and easy to operate.
2. Small-caliber operating torque is small, labor-saving and dexterous, opening and closing quickly.
3. It can be installed at any position of the pipeline, which is very convenient for installation and maintenance.
4. Handle wafer butterfly valves are usually soft-sealed, with reliable sealing performance, and can achieve two-way sealing with zero leakage.
5. The sealing surface material is easy to replace, resistant to aging, weak corrosion, and has a long service life.

electric wafer butterfly valve vs electric flange butterfly valve

July 27, 2021

The difference and selection of electric wafer butterfly valve and electric flange butterfly valve
As one of the most common valves in pipelines, electric butterfly valves are used to realize the on-off and flow control of various media in the pipeline system. They have been widely used in many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, and hydropower. application. Then in the commonly used electric butterfly valve, it can be

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

divided into two kinds, electric wafer butterfly valve and electric flange butterfly valve, and these two kinds of valves have their own characteristics, and they are not the same in performance. They can be used in Different industries.

For these two kinds of valves, in addition to the different structural forms, if they are under the same parameters, the biggest difference is that the connection method is different, that is, the installation form is different, which depends on the site working conditions!

The difference between electric wafer butterfly valve and electric flange butterfly valve:
The thickness of the electric wafer butterfly valve is relatively thin compared to the flanged butterfly valve. There are no flanges at both ends of the valve body, but only a few guide bolt holes. The valve uses a set of bolts/nuts to connect with the flange of the pipe end, which is generally applicable. It is used in places where the space is relatively narrow or the pipeline is restricted. The advantage is that it is more convenient to disassemble, the valve cost is lower, and the space is small, but the disadvantage is that one sealing surface has a problem, and both sealing surfaces have to be disassembled!
Electric flange butterfly valve has flanges at both ends of the valve body, which are connected with pipeline flanges. Compared with wafer butterfly valves, the sealing performance is more reliable. It is generally used in places with larger diameters or higher pressures, but the cost is relatively good.

D943H-16C-metal seated stainless steel electric triple offset butterfly valve

Choice between the two:
However, there are still some things to pay attention to in the design. For example, wafer type valve bolts are generally relatively long. Under high temperature conditions, the expansion of the bolts may cause leakage, so it is not suitable for large pipe diameters under high temperature conditions. . Another example is the wafer butterfly valve generally cannot be used in the end of the pipeline and downstream needs to be disassembled, because when the downstream flange is removed, the wafer valve will fall off, in this case, it must be shortened separately. The flange type butterfly valve does not have the above problems, but the cost will be higher.

Advantages and disadvantages of butterfly valve and structure diagram
The butterfly valve opening and closing part is a disc-shaped butterfly plate, which rotates around its own axis in the valve body to achieve opening and closing or adjustment. The butterfly valve is usually less than 900 from fully open to fully closed. The butterfly valve and the butterfly rod themselves are not self-locking. For the positioning of the butterfly plate, a worm gear reducer must be installed on the valve rod. The use of worm gear reducer can not only make the disc plate have self-locking ability, make the disc plate stop at any position, but also improve the operation performance of the valve.

Butterfly valve structure principle and application analysis

July 21, 2021

Butterfly valve (also called flap valve) is a kind of regulating valve whose closing part is circular disc or disc, mainly composed of valve body, valve stem, disc and sealing ring. The valve body is cylindrical with short axial length and built-in butterfly plate. The butterfly plate of the 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 axis, and the rotation angle is between 0° and 90°. When the rotation reaches 90°, the valve is fully opened.

Double offset-flanged butterfly valve-D42F-150lbC (1)

The 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 when the medium flows through the valve body, so the pressure drop generated by the valve is small, so it has better flow control characteristics. The butterfly valve has two sealing types: elastic seal and metal seal. Elastic sealing valve, the sealing ring can be inlaid on the valve body or attached to the periphery of the butterfly plate.
Butterfly valves with metal seals generally have a longer life than those with elastic seals, but it is difficult to achieve a complete seal. The metal sealing butterfly valve can adapt to higher working temperature, while the elastic sealing butterfly valve has the defect of being limited by temperature.
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 butterfly valve is especially suitable for making large-diameter valves. Butterfly valves are not only widely used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, and water treatment, but also used in cooling water systems of thermal power stations.

Commonly used butterfly valves include wafer type butterfly valves and flange type butterfly valves. Wafer type butterfly valve uses double-head bolts to connect the valve between two pipe flanges. Flange type butterfly valve has flanges on the valve, and bolts are used to connect the flanges at both ends of the valve to the pipe flanges.
