An eccentric semi-ball valve is a relatively new type of ball valve, which has some unique advantages related to the structure, including opening and closing without friction, sealing not being worn easily, and small opening and closing torque. This can reduce the size of the actuator and a multi-turn electric actuator can be equipped, which can achieve the purpose of the adjustment and close cutting off of the medium. An eccentric semi-ball valve is widely...

Because of the special structure of cryogenic valves, the installation of cryogenic valves also has special requirements. The direction of the valve stem must be within a vertical angle of 45 degrees when the cryogenic valve is installed due to the structural characteristics of its long-neck bonnets, and installation on vertical pipelines should be avoided as much as possible. Otherwise, the low-temperature medium will fill the extended part of the valve bonnet, causing the valve...

(2) The structure design of the dripping board Since the medium in the valve is a low-temperature medium, in order to avoid or reduce the transmission of the medium's temperature to the valve stem and the filling material at the upper end, and prevent these materials from failing due to freezing, a dripping plate can be added to the valve. Some research institutes have carried out experimental verification on this kind of valve with a drip plate, and proved that the upper...

3. Analysis of low-pressure sealing test standards for check valves 3.1 Requirements in the Chinese standard system In the current national standard system, the main regulations related to check valves include GB/T 13932-2016 Iron Swing Check Valves and GBT 13927-2008 Pressure Tests for Industrial Valves. GB/T 13932-2016 section 5.2 Pressure Test stipulates that the shell's strength test and sealing performance test of the check valve shall be carried out in accordance with the method...

Abstract In industrial practice, the high-pressure sealing of swing check valves is generally guaranteed, but the low-pressure sealing is often overlooked, which may cause serious abnormal working conditions. The principle of low-pressure sealing of swing check valves, the reasons for low-pressure sealing being neglected, and the applicable standards of low-pressure sealing are discussed based on this to improve the reliability of low-pressure sealing of swing check valves. Treatment of the...

1. The working principle and function of the gate valve Gate valves are cut-off valves used to cut off or connect the medium in the pipe, which are usually installed on pipes with a diameter greater than 100mm. The disc is shaped like a wedge. The gate valve has the advantages of easy opening and closing and low flow resistance. However, the sealing surface is easy to wear and leak; the opening stroke is great, and the maintenance is difficult. The gate valve cannot...

Maintenance and quality standards of gate valves are shown as follows: Items Parts for maintenance Key points of the process Quality requirements 1 Visual inspection of the valve body 1. Remove dirt and heat preservation. 2. Check the surface of the valve body for defects such as double skin, cracks, and sand holes. There are no double skin, cracks, and sand holes on the surface of the valve body. 2 Disassembly of valves 1. Keep a record before disassembly. 2. The...
