Q1. Why does the life of rubber lined butterfly valve and fluorine diaphragm valve will be shortened by desalinated water media? In the situation of low concentration of acid or base, desalinated water media will intensively corrode the rubber part of the rubber lined butterfly valve and make rubber expand,age and lose intensity, eventually degrading its working performance . Though another valve--rubber lined diaphragm valve has been developed with better corrosion-resisting ability, its diaphragm will easily fracture after folding. Then mechanical damage occurs and service life shortens. Q2. Why does shut-off valve should be always treated with hard seal? Soft seal can manage with the need from shut-off valve: to have a lower leakage rate, and have a great cutting function. However, valve with hard seal will not be eligible in reliability and abrasive resistance. When we add these two requests to the comparison of the two kinds of shut-off valves, the one with hard seal stands out right away. Q3. Why does sleeve valve fail to take place of single valve and double valve? Many people thought that single and double seat valve will be squeezed out by the second-generation-to-be product--sleeve valve, which born in 1960s and found its feet worldwide in 1970s. But the current situation is quite different. Although the sleeve valve has remarkable stability, its weight and leakage index don’t exceed single and double seat valves. The end result of competition of there three valves is a draw, as they’re in the market nowadays. Q4. Why are piston actuator increasingly used in pneumatic valve? Piston actuator have smaller size but bigger thrust to drive pneumatic valve thank to air pressure. Q5. Why does selection outweigh calculation? Selection is more important and complex than calculation.Because calculation is only a process of formulas, it can’t demonstrate the accuracy of the formula itself, but the accuracy of given indexes. There are many items involved in the selection. A little oversight may bring wrong choice. That not only wastes manpower, material and financial resources, but also results in unsatisfactory conditions and brings troubles in reliability, service life and operation,etc.

It is of great importance to equip the valve body with high strength. With defects in valve body, unexpected economic losses may occur someday after they are put in place. What’s more, it may put a period to the whole working system and take a exorbitant cost from the company, even the public. When it comes to material outputting, media leakage is not allowed., so do other defects like cracks, loose pores, slags to the body, cover and other parts. Besides that, to ensure the perfect performance of these apparatus, valve producers have to do do strength test to every valve. After all parts of the vale are assembled, the integrated piece will be send to do strength test. Usually, after rough machining, rough quality blanks and heat treated components will do intermediate strength test to spare unnecessary waste carried by all kinds of test failures. If all indicators are normal, further test are saved only if users insist.. The body strength tests are usually conducted under general temperature. And the testing pressure will be set 1.25 to 1.5 times higher than the nominal pressure. Valves are going to prove strong enough to pass the exam as long as these is no leakage within the allowed range. Another thing worth to be keep in mind is that air in the cavity should be output if the outputting material is water. Those above speak loudly that strength test id of great meanings and values. You could never assure its quality when its not strong enough. Therefore it is sure that the strength test is and will be the most important project in the valve producing field.

在过去,人们往往会取代旧的阀with a new one, and just throw or abandon those valves as garbage or sell them at a very low price. For some valves with high pressure/ high temperature/ large size, the cost of renewal is very high. Thus, we gradually realized the economic benefit of valve repair and maintenance. But before that, we should learn to use right method and excellent repairing equipment. Due to lack of concepts and equipment, most of users still replace old valves with new one, or just have an overhaul when the valve really broke down, which is not good to the valve service life and will bring potential risk of massive loss by emergency shut down or threatening people’s life. If the valve get overhaul only when it broke down without good care, this will bring the difficulty of repairing to a large extent, sometimes it is even too late to repair. Therefore, regular and organized checking and maintenance work mean a lot. It is critical to repair a small problem before it become big issue, since even a tiny damage on sealing surface could possibly leads to serious leakage accidents.

Safety valve is an important part of the pipe. In this article, we will have a brief introduction to the benefits of safety valves. Firstly, with a wide size and type range, safety valves can be used to a lot of production environments. Secondly, safety valve owns a high level of workmanship and product quality. In this way, it has a relatively service life as well as good performance during usage. Thirdly, safety valves play a very important role in ensuring the pipeline safety and protecting human life. Last but not least, safety valves, especially DIN standard safety valve have a smart design in valve structure, which leads to minimum troubles after sales and people can easily clean the valve due to its simple step of valve disassembly.

压力控制阀,也叫压力阀es in short, can control the pressure to meet the force and torque of actuators. There are several types of pressure control valves, like safe relief valve, pressure reducing valve, sequence valve, safety valve and etc. In this article, we will have a brief introduction of different pressure control valves. 1. Relief Valve The main function of relief valve is to keep hydraulic system stable and safe, preventing the overloading of system. 2. Sequence Valve Sequence valve can control the sequence of actuator by changing the pressure in hydraulic system. It has almost the same structure and working principle as the relief valve. The main difference lies in that the outlet of sequence valve is not connected to tanks. In this way, the internal leaking oil cannot channel directly to the oil chamber with pipeline, but by using a special pipeline instead. 3. Pressure Reducing Valve The pressure reducing valve consists of two parts: pilot valve and main valves. Its major function is to adjust oil pressure. The high-pressure oil enters into oil mouth, goes through the path of spool and orifices, then comes out from outlet of pressure reducing valve in a lower pressure state. In a short conclusion, although there are many varieties of pressure control valves, their fundamental purpose is the control of oil pressure.

Butterfly valve owns simple and compact structure with light weight. It can be easily and quickly operated by a 90° rotation. In addition, it has good performance on fluid control. The thickness of disc is the only resistance when the valve is in fully open condition, thus the flow resistance of butterfly valve is very small and can cause a minimum pressure loss to application. Due to its characteristic structure, butterfly valves are more suitable for large diameter valves. They are widely used in oil & gas, water treatment, petrochemical, as wells as thermal power station’s cooling water system. There are metal to metal sealing and soft sealing for butterfly valves. Although it does not has sealing performance as good as soft seal, metal to metal sealing butterfly valve can work in wider temperature range and application with particulates. Also, in terms of connection type, butterfly valves can be divided into wafer type butterfly valve and flanged butterfly valve. In conclusion, butterfly valves have advantages of good sealing performance, light weight, convenient operation, wide and flexible applicability, relatively lower cost and so on.
