The non-technical failures are all caused by human factors and come from subjective reasons. If the operator is cautious enough or experienced enough, they can be completely avoided. The cause of the failure has nothing to do with the internal structure of the valve. Technical failures, as the name suggests, it is caused by the fact that the current technology of metal-seated ball valves is not perfect enough. In many cases, we can only try to reduce its impact as much as possible, but it is difficult...

The operating conditions of metal seated ball valves are much more stringent than that of soft-seated ball valves. High temperature, strong corrosion, and media such as dust, particles, and mud have caused considerable obstacles to the continued use of metal seated ball valves. During the use of metal seated ball valves, valves often malfunction due to working conditions or human factors and are forced to be repaired. Understanding the causes of valve failures and finding ways to prevent them are...

Scale is a common problem in various industrial processes, particularly in systems that involve the flow of water or other liquids. It refers to the accumulation of mineral deposits on the inner surfaces of pipes and valves over time. While scale may seem like a minor inconvenience, it can have significant consequences for valve performance. One of the primary issues caused by scale is valve leakage. As minerals build up on the valve's sealing surfaces, they create unevenness and gaps that allow...

The cleanability, compatibility and maintainability of the individual valves in the overall system need to be carefully considered to select the most suitable valve for the actual operation. Cleanability The first step in ensuring food safety and sanitation is to determine whether the valve will come into contact with the food or beverage product. This determines whether you need to choose a sanitary valve or a general valve. If the valve is part of a product system, it must be cleanable...

Food and beverage valves play a crucial role in the processing and distribution of consumable products. These valves are specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements of the food and beverage industry, ensuring that the products remain safe, hygienic, and free from contamination. One of the primary functions of these valves is to regulate the flow of fluids such as liquids, gases, and even solids in some cases. They are responsible for controlling the movement of ingredients during various...

A globe valve is a common type of valve that can be classified into three main types based on the structure of its body: Oblique pattern, angle pattern, and Plunger pattern. The Oblique globe valve is the most common form, featuring a straight-through flow path in its body. When fluid passes through this type of valve, it needs to change direction twice, resulting in relatively higher fluid resistance. It is suitable for controlling fluids in normal operating conditions. The angle globe...

Butterfly Valve Working Principle: A butterfly valve is a type of valve that operates by rotating the valve stem to simultaneously turn the disc, allowing or blocking the flow. Inside the cylindrical or conical passage of the valve body, flow is controlled. When the disc reaches a 90° angle, the valve is in the fully open position. The angle of the disc can be adjusted to regulate the flow of the medium. However, it lacks locking capability. To effectively control the flow, a worm gear...
