Butterfly valves are widely used in industrial piping systems due to their compact structure, lightweight design, and quick operation. They are commonly applied in water treatment, chemical, power, oil, and gas industries. However, when dealing with industrial standards across different countries and regions, selecting a butterfly valve that meets the relevant specifications is crucial. This article provides a detailed analysis of butterfly valve design and selection requirements based on three key standards: API 609, ISO 5752, and GB/T 12238. 1. API 609 — American Petroleum Institute Standard API 609 is the American Petroleum Institute (API) standard for metal-seated butterfly valves, primarily used in the oil, gas, and chemical industries. The standard defines valve structure, materials, dimensions, and pressure ratings to ensure reliable performance under high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive media conditions. Key points include: ● Pressure Ratings: Covers Class 150 to 1500, accommodating various service conditions. ● Body and Disc Design: Metal-to-metal sealing requires precise alignment between disc and seat to prevent leakage under high temperature or high pressure. ● Testing and Inspection: Includes shell tests, seat leakage tests, and operational performance checks to ensure valve safety and reliability. For high-temperature steam or high-pressure oil and gas pipelines, selecting a butterfly valve compliant with API 609 can significantly reduce leakage risk and extend equipment lifespan. 2. ISO 5752 — International Standard Organization Standard ISO 5752 is the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard that specifies end dimensions and flange connection sizes for valves. It defines the face-to-face dimensions, flange sizes, and connection methods for butterfly valves, providing a consistent interface specification for industrial users worldwide. Key points include: ● Face-to-Face Dimensions: Specifies valve lengths for different nominal diameters to ensure compatibility with piping systems. ● Flange Dimensions: Ensures valves match international standard pipe fittings, such as ANSI or DIN flanges. ● Interchangeability: Butterfly valves designed according to ISO 5752 can be replaced or serviced globally without redesigning the pipeline interface. ISO 5752 is particularly suitable for multinational engineering projects, ensuring the universality of butterfly valves across different plants and systems. 3. JB/T8527 — Chinese National Standard JB/T8527 is the Chinese national standard specifying the dimensions, structure, and testing requirements for metal hard-seal butterfly valves. It is widely applied in domestic industrial projects such as water conservancy, power, and petrochemical industries, serving as an important reference for procurement and acceptance. Key ...
Check valves are often considered the most “quiet” yet essential components in a piping system. Their primary function is to prevent backflow and safeguard pumps, compressors, and the overall stability of the system. However, in real-world applications, poor sealing—commonly referred to as “leakage”—is one of the most frequent and frustrating issues encountered in check valve operation. When a check valve fails to seal properly, it can reduce system efficiency, trigger pressure fluctuations, cause water hammer, and even damage critical equipment. This article breaks down the technical causes behind check valve leakage and offers practical diagnostic and corrective measures to help you quickly identify and resolve sealing problems, even under challenging operating. 1. Why Does a Check Valve Fail to Close Properly? Common Causes Explained 1. Presence of Particles or Solid Impurities in the Medium Solid particles can become trapped between the disc and the seat, preventing full contact and causing slight or even noticeable leakage. Typical signs include: ● Significant leakage at small opening positions ● Leakage decreases after cleaning 2. Disc Wear or Seat Damage Frequent cycling, corrosive media, or high-velocity flow can wear the sealing surfaces, resulting in scratches, pits, or deformation. This issue is especially common in high-temperature steam systems. 3. Incorrect Installation Direction or Insufficient Tilt Angle Although it may sound like a basic mistake, incorrect installation still occurs on many job sites. Since check valves rely heavily on gravity and flow direction, improper installation prevents the disc from returning to its closed position smoothly. 4. Flow Velocity Too Low to Create Adequate Differential Pressure A check valve opens through fluid flow. When the flow rate is too low, the disc may flutter or fail to close completely, leading to leakage. Common scenarios include: ● Insufficient straight-pipe length ● Frequent pump start/stop ● Poorly designed low-flow systems 5. Disc Sticking or Hinge Mechanism Not Operating Smoothly In swing check valves, rust, corrosion, or lack of lubrication at the hinge pin or disc connection may cause sticking, preventing full closure. 6. Thermal Deformation of Sealing Surfaces Due to Temperature Fluctuations In high-temperature conditions such as steam service, thermal expansion and contraction can slightly deform sealing surfaces, resulting in an imperfect seal. 2. How to Quickly Determine If a Check Valve Is Not Closing Properly? 1. Abnormal Pressure Gauge Readings If the inlet pressure remains stable while the outlet pressure gradually rises, backflow caused by check-valve leakage is the most likely reason. 2. Pipe Vibration or Light Knocking Sounds This indicates that the disc is oscillating at high frequency, often due to insufficient flow velocity or a loose dis...
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.

Gate valves and globe valves are two of the most common valves we know. The differences beween them are: 1.Gate valve is used only for on-off function. But the globe valve could be used for shutting off and throttling at the same time. 2.The flow resistance of a globe valve is larger than a gate valve. Likewise, globe valves have more pressure drop than gate valves. 3.The gate valve require larger installation space than a globe valve from the perspective of opening height. 4.The gate valve sealing face suffers more abrasion than a globe valve. 5.The torque value of a globe valve is larger than a gate valve. Quality Checking Quality means everything in Dervos. Quality checking team will do inspections according to standard procedure and provide reports. Our QC team will check valve quality from casting and forging, machining, pressure testing, dimension checking, painting & packing.
