On the occasion of Dervos Valve’s 17th anniversary, we proudly continued our tradition by inviting partners from Australia, Turkey, Italy, Russia, Argentina, South Africa, the United States, and other countries to gather in the ancient city of Xi’an to witness this milestone together. This event was not only a continuation of long-standing partnerships but also a testament to mutual trust.     Dervos warmly welcomed our global partners, and through in-depth exchanges, both sides further deepened cooperation and understanding. The gathering showcased Dervos’ openness as a global valve brand and its confidence in sharing Chinese culture.   To help our overseas guests gain deeper insights into Chinese heritage, we thoughtfully organized a cultural tour of Xi’an. Highlights included visits to the UNESCO-listed Terracotta Warriors, a walk atop the ancient city wall, scenic views at the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, and hands-on experiences such as trying on traditional Hanfu attire—activities that were greatly enjoyed by our international friends.   In front of the Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, our guests were deeply impressed and inspired as they carefully admired the grandeur of this underground legion. Captivated by its majestic scale and historical significance, they took group photos to commemorate the moment—creating unforgettable memories of this awe-inspiring experience.     Guests strolled leisurely beneath the Xi’an City Wall, taking photos and sharing conversations, while enjoying the rich blend of history and culture that surrounds this ancient landmark.     Guests strolled leisurely beneath the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, soaking in the unique charm of Xi’an where history and culture intertwine.     Guests strolled leisurely beneath the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, soaking in the unique charm of Xi’an where history and culture intertwine.     The first leg of Dervos’ 17th anniversary celebration came to a successful close, leaving every participant with joyful memories. More than just a journey, the Xi’an visit deepened the trust and friendship between Dervos and its global partners.       The Xi’an journey marks only the beginning of Dervos’ 17th anniversary celebrations—more exciting events are on the way.

In a major copper-gold mining project in Indonesia, DERVOS supplied multiple high-performance triple offset metal seated C95500 butterfly valves, which were applied in slurry transportation and process pipeline systems. The operating conditions on site are highly challenging, with media containing a large number of solid particles, posing significant risks of abrasion and corrosion. The valves were required to offer excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and bidirectional zero leakage sealing performance.   As a professional triple offset butterfly valve supplier, DERVOS VALVE provided a customized solution tailored to the client’s specific needs, ensuring stable system operation even in such harsh environments. Client Need In a large-scale copper-gold mining project in Indonesia, DERVOS supplied multiple high-performance C95500 triple offset metal seated butterfly valves, specifically engineered for slurry transportation and process pipeline systems. The site presented extremely demanding conditions, with media containing high concentrations of solid particles—posing serious challenges related to abrasion and corrosion. To meet these requirements, the valves were designed to deliver exceptional wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and bidirectional zero-leakage sealing performance.   As a trusted triple offset butterfly valve manufacturer, DERVOS VALVE delivered a customized valve solution precisely tailored to the client's operational needs, ensuring long-term reliability and stable system performance under harsh industrial environments.   Devos Solution DERVOS custom-engineered triple offset nickel-aluminum bronze metal seated butterfly valves for this project, featuring C95500 nickel-aluminum bronze valve bodies and F53+STL hard-faced welded seats, specifically designed for highly corrosive and abrasive environments.   Triple Offset Butterfly Valve – DN900/DN1500, 150LB, FF, API 609 Standard • Size: DN900 • Pressure Rating: 150LB • Design Features: Triple offset structure with bidirectional, zero-leakage • sealing under equal pressure.• Equipped with independent seat material: F53 + STL hard-facing. Operated via gear box. Connection Type: FF (Flat Face) dual flange ends. • Special Requirements:    Face-to-face dimension per ISO 5752 (short pattern)    Heat-treated and annealed castings   Excellent Wear and Corrosion Resistance The valve body is made of C95500 nickel-aluminum bronze, known for its high strength, hardness, and outstanding wear resistance. It also offers excellent resistance to cavitation erosion and flow-induced corrosion.In addition, C95500 exhibits good ductility and toughness—maintaining high mechanical strength while providing a certain degree of plasticity and impact resistance, which helps prevent brittle failure.It demonstrates superior corrosion resistance in harsh media such as slurry, brine, an...

In industrial production, valves are critical components for fluid control, and their sealing performance directly impacts system safety and stability. Leakage not only reduces operational efficiency but may also lead to fluid escape, posing serious safety risks. This article outlines three common causes of valve leakage and provides corresponding emergency response recommendations to help you quickly identify issues, take action, and mitigate risks.   1. Seal Surface Wear or Damage   Cause: During long-term operation, sealing pairs (e.g., valve seat and disc, valve ball and seat) suffer from media erosion, particle abrasion, or corrosion, leading to uneven sealing surfaces and resulting in minor or significant leakage. Emergency Measures: · Minor Leakage: Adjust compression force (e.g., tighten bonnet bolts) to temporarily reduce leakage. · Severe Leakage: Immediately shut down the system to replace or regrind sealing components; replace the entire valve if necessary. Prevention Recommendations: Conduct regular inspections, select valves with appropriate materials and wear-resistant designs. For media containing solid particles, use hard-sealing structures.   2. Packing Aging or Gland Loosening   Cause: Valve stem sealing uses packing materials (e.g., graphite, PTFE), which may age, dry, or crack over prolonged use. Temperature fluctuations can also cause gland loosening, leading to leakage at the packing box.  Emergency Measures: · Tighten packing gland bolts to increase packing compression. · If ineffective, add or replace packing material. · Avoid over-tightening to prevent increased operating torque or stem damage. Prevention Recommendations: Regularly replace packing; select materials compatible with the media and operating temperature. For critical equipment, consider spring-loaded packing glands.   3. Casting Defects or Corrosion Perforation in Valve Body/Bonnet   Cause: Some low-quality valves have casting defects such as sand holes or shrinkage cavities. Prolonged exposure to corrosive media can cause localized perforation of the valve body, resulting in uncontrollable leakage. Emergency Measures: · For small leaks, temporary repairs using metal adhesives or cold welding are possible. · Large-scale damage requires immediate valve replacement. · For high-pressure or toxic/hazardous media, no pressurized repair is allowed; follow shutdown procedures strictly.  Prevention Recommendations: Purchase valves from reputable manufacturers; use corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., 304/316L stainless steel). Perform regular wall thickness inspections on critical pipelines.   Common Questions & Answers (Q&A)   Q1: Can all valve leaks be fixed by replacing packing?A: No. Packing replacement is effective only when leakage is due to packing aging or gland loosening. If the leakage stems from seal surface or valve body damage, other me...
