Recently, representatives from Dervos Valve visited long-term industrial valve partners in Norway, Italy, Germany, and Spain. The multi-day trip focused on understanding customers’ current project requirements and discussing future procurement plans and technical specifications in greater depth. In Norway, our team was invited to visit the customer’s equipment installation workshop and valve application site. Through direct discussions with the engineering and procurement teams, we gained a clear understanding of their concerns regarding high-pressure applications, material selection, and delivery schedules. The customer noted, “Dervos has an excellent grasp of our project needs. Your quick response and professional recommendations give us great confidence.” This feedback reflects not only trust in our product quality but also strong recognition of our service capabilities. The team then traveled to Italy for technical discussions with our local partners and visited their valve assembly and testing facilities. Our representatives introduced Dervos’s manufacturing capabilities, quality inspection processes, and ongoing product enhancements across ball valves, gate valves, butterfly valves, and check valves. The Italian customer remarked, “The solutions you presented are highly practical and will significantly improve the reliability of our projects.” Such positive feedback further strengthened the confidence in our partnership. Through this trip, Dervos gained deeper insights into the European market’s expectations regarding valve performance, quality control, and delivery reliability. We will continue to refine our products and services based on customer feedback, ensuring that every partner receives a reliable and fully tailored one-stop valve solution. Looking ahead, Dervos Valve will remain committed to our service philosophy of listening to customers, responding quickly, and delivering real value. With higher product standards and more professional technical support, we aim to strengthen and advance our cooperation with customers around the world.
Butterfly valves are widely used as regulating and shut-off devices in industrial piping systems, valued for their simple structure, lightweight design, and rapid open-close operation. They find applications across water treatment, chemical, metallurgical, power, oil, and gas industries. However, even high-quality butterfly valves can experience performance degradation if proper maintenance is neglected over long-term operation.This article explores the structural features, common issues, and maintenance practices to help effectively extend the service life of butterfly valves. 1. Understanding the Operational Characteristics of Butterfly Valves A butterfly valve primarily consists of a valve body, disc, stem, sealing elements, and an actuator. Its operation relies on the rotation of the disc, driven by the stem, to control fluid flow. During operation, the disc remains immersed in the fluid, subject to erosion, corrosion, and pressure shocks. Therefore, the valve’s lifespan is closely related to sealing performance, material selection, and the operating environment. 2. Common Factors Affecting Butterfly Valve Lifespan Frequent Operation and High Differential Pressure High-frequency cycling or prolonged operation under high pressure and flow velocity can cause valve seat wear and stem seal aging. Corrosive Media and Sediment Build-Up Chemical fluids or particulate-laden media can corrode the disc and clog sealing surfaces, reducing smooth operation. Improper Installation Misalignment between the valve and pipeline, or uneven bolt tightening, may lead to eccentric disc friction and damage to sealing elements. Lack of Regular Maintenance Neglecting routine cleaning and lubrication can increase operating torque, accelerate seal wear, and shorten the valve’s overall service life. 3. Maintenance Tips to Extend Butterfly Valve Lifespan 1. Proper Installation as the Foundation Ensure the valve body is aligned with the pipeline center to avoid eccentric stress. Use appropriate gaskets between the valve and flange to prevent localized stress. For actuated butterfly valves, confirm correct travel adjustment to avoid exceeding torque limits. 2. Regular Cleaning and Inspection Periodically remove deposits and debris from the disc surface to prevent seal surface damage. Check stem packing and seals; replace immediately if signs of aging are detected. For pipelines carrying particulate-laden media, flush the valve regularly to prevent clogging. 3. Lubrication and Corrosion Protection Apply grease to the stem, bearings, and drive components regularly to maintain smooth operation. For valves operating in seawater or corrosive environments, select corrosion-resistant coatings or materials such as aluminum bronze or duplex stainless steel. 4. Proper Operation and Control Avoid rapid or forced operation to prevent disc deformation from impact. If the ...
A check valve is a critical device that prevents backflow, widely used in water treatment, oil & gas pipelines, chemical processing, and steam systems. After long-term operation, check valves may experience issues such as leakage, vibration noise, or sticking. If not addressed promptly, these problems can reduce system efficiency and even cause equipment damage or safety hazards. So, how can you tell if a check valve needs replacement? Which faults can be repaired, and which require a full replacement? This article provides a systematic guide. 1. Basic Operating Principle of Check Valves The primary function of a check valve is to automatically prevent backflow. When fluid flows in the intended direction, the valve disc is pushed open by pressure; when flow reverses, the disc closes automatically, using either its own weight or a spring, preventing backflow. Common types include: Lift Check Valve Swing Check Valve Dual Plate Wafer Check Valve Ball Check Valve Although their designs vary, the key criteria for determining whether a check valve needs replacement remain the same: sealing performance, operational smoothness, and structural integrity. 2. How to Determine if a Check Valve Needs Replacement Visible Leakage (Internal or External) If fluid continues to flow backward when the valve is closed, it indicates significant wear or deformation of the sealing surfaces, preventing an effective seal. If the leakage exceeds system tolerances and cannot be corrected by cleaning or resurfacing, the valve or its sealing components should be replaced. Sticking or Inflexible Valve Disc After long-term operation, the valve stem, guides, or disc may become stuck due to scaling, corrosion, or debris. If cleaning, descaling, or lubrication fails to restore smooth operation, replacement is recommended. Excessive Noise or Vibration Frequent opening and closing or rapid disc rebound can cause vibration or knocking sounds. This is usually due to spring failure, loose valve components, or worn guides. Persistent or frequent noise should trigger inspection of the valve’s structural integrity and consideration for replacement. Corroded or Cracked Valve Body or Cover Exposure to acidic, alkaline, or high-temperature fluids can corrode or crack the valve body, compromising structural strength and posing safety risks. Such damage cannot be repaired and requires full valve replacement. Frequent Backflow or Abnormal System Pressure Fluctuations Poor sealing or delayed valve response can cause system pressure variations, including water hammer. If repeated adjustments do not resolve the issue, it indicates aging of the internal spring or disc mechanism, necessitating timely replacement. 3. Common Fault Diagnosis and Solutions Fault: Valve fails to close completely, causing backflow Cause: Worn sealing surfaces, deformed disc, or trapped debris Solution: Remove ...

A high performance butterfly valve is often designed with double offset and PTFE seat, to handle everything from general applications to viscous and corrosive liquids; corrosive gases and steam. Compared to concentric resilient seat butterfly valve, the disc of the high performance butterfly valve is arranged and positioned off the center of the pipe bore, which could reduce wear and tear to the valve during operation and increase sealing performance. In conlusion, high performance butterfly valve is applicable for higher pressure and temperature applications. Meanwhile, it has longer cycle life and better sealing ability.
