1. How do the pressures of ultra high pressure valves, high pressure valves, medium pressure valves, and low pressure valves differ? Ultra high pressure valve, nominal pressure PN≥100MPa; high pressure valve, nominal pressure PN10.0MPa-80.0MPa; medium pressure valve, nominal pressure PN2.5MPa-PN6.4MPa; low pressure valve PN≤1.6MPa. 2. How to distinguish the calibers of extra large caliber valves, ...

People often have a confusion between a knife gate valve and slide gate valve. In brief, knife gate valve uses a blade to cut through thick liquids or gas; while a slide gate valve utilizes a slide plate to shut off flow of dry bulk material. In this article, we will discuss their differences in details. Knife Gate Valve Knife gate valves were originally designed for pulp and paper industry. ...

An axial flow silent check valve’s disc is held in place by a spring. This upgraded structure design brings about many advantages. First, as its name indicates, the streamlined axial flow path through full-port expanded body prevent turbulence, erosion and vibration, which eliminate the process downtime and maintenance cost. Second, the full port passage and high-pressure recovery of the venturi-s...

Compared with other mechanical manufacturing processes, the valve manufacturing process has the following characteristics: A. The manufacture and inspection technology of valve rough is very complicated. The valve's casting blank is a thin-walled shell with complicated structure. Casting requires a smooth surface, casting characters clear, especially to have a dense structure, and do not allow the...

To understand the difference between globe valve and stop check valve, we should first figure out what is a stop check valve. Stop check valve combines the functions of a general globe valve and check valve, which means besides isolating and regulating the flow rate, it can also prevent reverse flow. From the appearance, globe valve and stop check valve almost look the same. The main difference li...

Valve actuator is a device for operating and connecting valve. The device can be driven by power source of electric power, air pressure, hydraulic pressure or other combination, and its motion process can be controlled by the stroke, torque or axial thrust. Because the actuator working characteristics and utilization rate depend on the valve type, the working specifications, and the position of th...

For trunnion-mounted ball valve, there is a metal seat ring and a soft seat insert to ensure the sealing performance of seat. The seat inserts are element mounted inside a metal seat ring and perform the same sealing functions as seat ring. There are mainly two types of seat insert materials, elastomeric and thermoplastic. Elastomeric seat insert is softer to achieve zero leakage of ball valve. Wh...

There are many ways to classify plug valves. In this article, we will introduce four main type of plug valves. 1. Lubricated Plug Valve A lubricated plug valve functions with the help of a lubricant (a base oil and viscosity improver) which is injected between the plug and body seat facing to reduce the frictions between them. The lubricated plug valve must be resealed after a few cycles. Due to i...

These three materials of stainless steel 304, 304H and 304L are often used in valve industry. Among three, 304 is the most common one, like SS304 ball valve, SS304 gate valve, SS304 globe valve, SS304 check valve we often see. In fact, according to the content of chromium and nickel, they all belong to stainless steel 304, since they all contains 18% chromium (Cr) and 8% nickel (Ni). The ma...
