In this article, we will introduce the advantage, disadvantage and installation tips of globe valve. Globe valve has the following merits: 1. Easy to manufacture and be maintained due to its simple structure.                   2. Short opening and closing time with small working stroke. 3. The globe valve owns a good sealing performance. 4. The small frictional force between sealing surface leads to longer service life of globe valve. Globe valve has the following disadvantage: 1. The fluid resistance of globe valve is big, which requires larger force during operation. 2. Globe valve is not suitable coking medium with larger particles and viscosity. 3. Globe valve has poor regulation performance. Types of globe valve: 1. According to the position of the valve stem thread, we have external thread type globe valve and internal thread type globe valve. 2. According to the flow direction of medium, we have straight-through globe valve, straight-flow globe valve and angle type globe valve. 3. In terms of the sealing form, globe valve has packing seal globe valve and bellows seal globe valve. The following aspects should be paid attention to when globe valve is installed and maintained. 1. Globe valve with manual operation can be installed in any position. 2. The hand wheel and handle do not allow for lifting. 3. The flow direction of medium should be consistent with the direction arrow on the valve body.

For electric butterfly valve, there are mainly two types. One is on-off switch type and the other intelligent type. The working principle is that: match butterfly valve with the DSR actuators, input control signals and single-phase-power supply, so that the electric butterfly valve’s operation can be controlled.   The electric butterfly valve owns a very good performance by having small volume but large flow capacity, reliable sealing performance and simple matching. The electric butterfly valves are widely used in light industry, petroleum, water treatment, paper manufacturing, chemical, electric power and many other industrial automatic control systems.

We often have soft seated for iron gate valve. Many people would like to know how to operate soft seated gate valve. Here are four tips. First, always remember that we should close soft seated gate valve in clockwise direction. Second, when soft seated gate valve used in pipeline, we should apply manual operation to the pneumatic device inside the valve. The frequency of valve operation cannot be too often in case of the damage to the soft seal. For large size valve, the times of opening and closing should remain between 200~600 times. Third, the opening and closing force spacing should be limited in a certain range. This is mainly to save manpower, and convenient to be operated by one person. If the force spacing is over this range, we need at least two or three people to operate the valve. Fourth, the size of the valve must be according to standard. It is important to face the seal valve gate valve down when putting valves in place.

In this article, we will list out several points regarding the installation of spring relief valve.   First, before installation, we need to check the sealing performance of the spring relief valve. The valve has to be fixed if seat leaking or broken air cushion is found.   In addition, we need to pay special attention to the vertical installation of valve. The installation angle should be precise and formal. And make sure all the necessary installation tools are ready.   Second, it is not allowable to apply pressure on the exit of the relief valve during the installation of relief valve. We had better making it empty directly so that the relief valve can work effectively.   Third, the operator should wear gloves during installation to prevent the oil on the hand from polluting the valve. The oil pollution can influence the sealing performance of relief valve. Meanwhile, it will also reduce the overall service life of relief valve.   Last but not least, two operators are needed on the spot of valve installation to make sure the normal function of the valve.

Here are seven main advantages of insulated ball valve as follows. 1. The fluid resistance is small, and its resistance coefficient is equal to that of the tubulation of the same length. 2. It has simple structure, small volume and light weight. 3. It is compact and reliable. At present, plastic materials with good sealing performance is preferred as the sealing surface materials of ball valve. Materials like this also have been widely used in the vacuum system. 4. It is easy to be operated, to be opened and closed quickly. The angle from opening it to closing it is just only 90 °, which is advantageous for remote control. 5. It is maintained easily. The structure of ball valve is very simple and the sealing ring is removable. Therefore, it is more convenient that it can be changed and disassembled. 6. If the insulted ball valve is fully opened or fully closed, the sealing surface can not be eroded when the medium is flow through it. This is because the ball valve body and seat sealing surface are isolated from the medium. 7. The applicable scope is wide. The length range of diameter is from several millimeters to a few meters. It can be applied from high vacuum to high pressure. If the ball body rotates 90 degrees, the sphere can be showed completely in the inlet and outlet so as to block the flow. Insulated ball valve is a relatively new type among ball valve types. The structure has its own superiority, for example the switch is frictionless, the sealing surface is not easy to wear and the open-close torque is small. Then, the specifications of the actuator can be smaller. If it works with multi-turn electric actuators, the medium can be adjusted and cut off. It is widely used in demanding strictly cutting-off operation conditions in petroleum, chemical industry, urban water supply and drainage, etc.

Here are some main brief installation points of spring relief valve or spring safety valve we need to notice. Before installing spring relief valve, the first thing we need to pay attention to is to be sure to test the seal performance. If the relief valve leaks or the air cushion is broken, they are needed to be changed immediately accordingly. Then, it can be got the best use by all of us. The first premise is that the vertical installation is needed to be paid attention to for all parts of the relief valve in the process of relief valve installation. And, the installation angle should be precise and formal. Of course, tools should be used to make the corresponding auxiliary. Then, it can make the whole installation process smoothly and effectively. Second, it should be noticed that it is not allowed to give pressure on the exit of the relief valve during the installation of relief valve. It’s better to let it empty directly so that the relief valve can work effectively. Then, people can get it best effect, have better use experience and install the relief valve in place. Third, it should be noticed that the operator had better wear the corresponding gloves tools on their hands to avoid that oil pollute relief valve. The oil pollution can affect the sealing effect of relief valve. At same time, it also may lose the whole service life of the relief valve. Therefore, it is a good way to let the operator wear the gloves tools.
