The selection of electric ball valves 1. An electric ball valve is a fluid control component, which is widely used in the fluid pipeline system. It has a very good effect on controlling flows, pressure, reflux and so on. Because the quality of the electric ball valve has a great influence on the safety of the pipeline, when we choose the electric ball valve, it must be selected according to certain steps and basis. 2. Know the pipe diameter, pressure and temperature used by the company, and know...
The History of Valves
What is a valve? A valve is the general term of the control parts that guide, stop and regulate the fluid (gas and liquid). For example, valves includes general valves, gate valves, globe valves, cast steel valves, etc. The valve that mainly controls the discharge and consumption of fluid is also called a plug. There are water hydrants, water distribution hydrants, gas hydrants, fire hydrants, etc. Valves play an important role in the piping of infrastructure (power, waterway and gas), construction...
What Are the Valve’s Manufacturing Technology?
The following are the manufacturing technology of valves: 1) Casting: Casting is a method of forming materials. Put the molten metal into the mould of the desired shape, and wait for it to solidify. Then, take out the product after cooling. 2) Forging: it is one process of compressing a metal profile by placing it between a pair of anvil surfaces or in a metal mold after heating. 3) Welding: it refers to the process of heating or pressurizing a variety of materials, so that the atoms...
Application Conditions and Operation of Gate Valves
A gate valve refers to the valve whose closing parts move along the vertical direction of the path center line. The gate valve can only be used to fully open and close the pipeline, but it can't be used for regulation and throttling. A gate valve is a kind of valve with a wide range of use. Generally, it is selected for the cut-off device with DN ≥ 50 mm, and sometimes it is also used for the cut-off device with small diameters. The gate plate has two sealing surfaces....

How to Install and Maintain Ball Valves?
Installation of ball valves 1. A ball valve must be cleaned before operation. 2. The actuator of ball valve drives the valve stem to rotate according to the size of the input signal. When the forward rotation is 1/4 circle (900), the ball valve is closed. When the reverse rotation is 1/4 circle (900), the ball valve is opens. 3. When the direction indicator arrow of the actuator is parallel to the pipeline, the ball valve opens. When the arrow is vertical to the pipeline, the ball...
Advantages of Filling Foam on Floating Ball Valve’s Top
What is the advantages of filling foam on floating ball valve's top? The common floating ball valves on the market are hollow, so the damage degree of the floating ball is directly related to the pipeline pressure and medium corrosivity. The hollow floating ball is easy to shrink during transportation or collision. And it will be damaged in a period of time when the medium is corrosive. Let's first say that the wall thickness of the lower hollow floating ball is within 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm,...

An Introduction to Stainless Steel Ball Valves
A stainless steel ball valve is widely used in various fields. Its superior quality and high performance stability can not be achieved by ordinary cast steel ball valves, and its service life is far longer than that of the cast steel ball valve. Stainless steel ball valves are widely used in city gas, city heating, petrochemical, shipbuilding, steel, pressure regulating stations, power plants and other pipeline equipment. Stainless steel ball valves can operate reliably for a long time....
An Introduction to Heated Welding Ball Valves
A valve is a control component in the fluid transportation system, which has the functions of cutting off, regulation, diversion, prevention of countercurrent, pressure stabilization, shunt and adjustment of medium flow balance. A valve is also one of the most typical equipment in the heat system. The quality of the valve and whether to select a reasonable type according to the characteristics of valves will play a decisive role in the supply heat quality. As the valves are laid in the...
Advantages of Free Floating Ball Drain Valves
The free floating ball drain valve not only owns long life, but also is convenient for maintenance. In addition to the advantages of lever floating ball type steam valve, the free floating ball type drain valve also cancels a set of movable mechanism such as lever, and its structure is greatly simplified. It is a kind of drain valve with great development prospect. (1) Structure and working principles The structure of free floating ball drain valves is composed of valve bodies, valve bonnets,...
