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...

Ball valves are commonly used control valves in industrial pipelines, known for their advantages such as simple structure, low flow resistance, and good sealing. However, during usage, ball valves may experience some common issues, including valve sticking, leakage, and seepage. Let's explore the common faults of ball valves and their corresponding troubleshooting methods. Valve Sticking When a ball valve is not operated for an extended period or operates ineffectively, it might become...

When the newly built 6 000 kt/a atmospheric and decompression plant of a certain enterprise was started, the packing of the globe valve of the raw material line of the heating furnace leaked and caught fire, causing the plant to shut down. The disassembly analysis of the globe valve found that the gap between the valve stem shaft and the sealing seat hole was improper. Structural modification was carried out for the similar globe valve of the device, and the smooth operation of the device was realized....

The global mining industry, like the world economy, has the feature of obvious periodicity. In recent years, affected by uncertain and unstable factors in global economic development, the demand for global mineral products has been weakening, and the situation of global mining has shown a downward trend, and resource prices have fluctuated greatly. The status and development pattern of mine valves Mining valves are mainly used in two aspects: mineral processing pipeline control (low-pressure...

The structure and characteristics of a multi-purpose valve combined with a steel gate valve and a check valve are analyzed, and the working principle of its operation without mutual interference is introduced. 1. Overview Both gate valves and check valves are general-purpose valves for cut-off and circulation. The direction of movement of the closing part of the gate valve is perpendicular to that of the fluid, and it is operated by a driving device. It is a forced sealing valve. The disc...

1. Structural forms An elastic seated eccentric cylindrical plug valve is a new type of plug valve (Figure 5), which adopts an elastic seated eccentric structure. The plug is of crankshaft type, and the surface is completely covered with rubber. The valve seat is surfaced with corrosion-resistant alloy. There is a certain eccentric distance from the center of the plug’s sealing surface. The cross-section of the flow channel is rectangular. Figure 5 Eccentric plug valves 1. Valve bodies...

Cylindrical plug valves have an integral plug that rotates within a well-fitting cylindrical valve body. If a direct metal-to-metal seal is used, considerable torque is required to drive the plug valve. It can also be coated on the sealing surface of the valve body or the outer surface of the cock to reduce friction and improve sealing ability. Typical coatings include PTFE, RislanTM and ceramics. Plugs are hard-faced to reduce friction and corrosion. A PTFE sleeve can be installed between the plug...
