Ball valves are widely used in oil and natural gas transportation pipelines and chemical equipment. The service life of ball valves is significantly reduced especially under extreme working conditions. Remanufacturing technology can maximize the remaining value of failed valve components and extend their service life. Ball valves are widely used and have a huge market share. Recycling, remanufacturing and repairing ball valves can bring great economic and social benefits. Remanufacturing...
Technical Failures of Metal Seated Ball Valves
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...
Selection of Metal-seated Ball Valve Accessories
Metal-seated ball valves are essential components in various industries, providing reliable and efficient control of fluid flow. However, to enhance their functionality and ensure optimal performance, the use of accessories is crucial. These accessories not only improve the valve's efficiency but also extend its lifespan. Valve accessories include driving devices, driving device supporting devices, brackets, connecting shafts and other accessories that connect the driving devices. The drive...

Non-technical Failures of Metal-seated Ball Valves
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...

How to Overcome the Impact of Scale on Valves
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...
Factors Affecting the Selection of Food and Beverage Valves
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...

The Role of Food and Beverage Valves in Temperature Control
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...

Valves Used for the Food Industry
The food and beverage processing industry spans a wide range, including dairy, meat, baked goods and canned goods. This industry is extremely diverse, and understanding the unique complexities of food or beverage is the key to finding the ideal valve for your processing needs. Valves specially designed for the food and beverage industry with extreme precision can meet the requirements for cleanliness and sterility. What is a food and beverage valve? Valves are an important part of process control...
Types of Globe Valve Bodies
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...
